This is a question Irrational Hatred

People who say "less" when they mean "fewer" ought to be turned into soup, the soup fed to baboons and the baboons fired into an active volcano. What has you grinding your teeth with rage, and why?

The Fall
People who say, "Oh, The Fall's just Mark E. Smith and whoever he happens to pick up from the pub / rehab clinic / gutter that week."

Die. Simply, die.

You know the ones, those massive Sunny Mann style things that look like you have two Jodrell Bank radio telescopes strapped to your face.

Don't know why, but I feel my mercury rising everytime I see them.

Johnny Marr
People who say, "Oh, Johnny Marr wasn't THAT great a guitarist, you know."

FuuuUUUUUUUUUCKkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkKKKKKKK OFF.

I need not explain why, but just in case there are some thickoes out there, one example will suffice: "How Soon Is Now."

Keeping it irrational
I cannot bide Bon Jovi. The music, rather than JBJ himself. He seems like a reasonable guy. But the music, by christ. I described recently as the musical equivalent of that greasy gritty detritus that accumululates between your fingers when you digging out the last few oven chips from the bag. It all just sounds the same, a bit wooly. Yet he sells a quadrillion albums so maybe it's just me.

Actual Irrational Hatred (for the whingers)
I hate when people put coins in a wallet.

Its no longer a wallet, its a change purse now....accept it.

Wallets are for cards, paper money and sometimes stickers. Generally a "lucky" or old coin is allowed. Any more than that and its a purse.

its ok though if you're a girl/gay

I dislike fashionable hatred
Eg for Bono, or capitalism, or remakes, or The Man, or McDonald's, or Americans (espeically this last - like our shit doesn't stink) whatever.

Chill the fuck out, student.

Oh god, here we go:
- People who call PCs (as a complete entity) the "Hard Drive": why then, don't you call your car "The Engine" or "The Brakes"?
- Apples (the fruit): shiny, sweet, horrid things. Why the fuck are you popular?
- Birds: you bunch of airbourne twats! The other dinosaurs had the decency to die out, why can't you?
- Mouth Ulcers: why, God, why? Definitive prove of the non-existence of a benign God.
- Holidays: I hate 'em. If I'm away from home for more than 48hrs I get antsy. God knows what I'd be like if I ever had to do time.
- Window blinds: what the fuck is wrong with curtains?
- Having to repeat myself: this one is unfair, as I'm a very soft-spoken mumbler, but it's part of the magic that is me.

That's enough for now.

"This is an old QOTW and therefore rubbish"
That annoys me. It's clearly an irrational annoyance on my part, because the whole world knows that every single B3tan has been here from the very beginnings, and never missed a QOTW through going on holiday, having major surgery, being in prison, being locked in a sealed underground gimp chamber by Richard Digance's second cousin's chiropodist, etc.

Which reminds me.

When did the world's chiropodists get together and decide to change their profession into podiatry? I did enough Greek at school (in between the cross-country bumming, beatings and wanking contests) to know that they stopped being hand and foot specialists and are really foot doctors, so podiatry is a more accurate name for what they do. Which is why it's irrational. But it still pisses me off.

Dear parents everywhere,

Your kids are interesting to no one except you and your parents. Not even your brothers and sisters are that bothered by them.

Your kids are not special (unless they're special), they're not gifted, unique, or all those glorious things you hope they'll shine at. They might well have a reading age of 11 at the age of 6. It's really not that much of an achievement.

Every step they take is, like for the rest of us, just one more closer to the final curtain.

The legal age for kids to be in pubs is 14. Yes I know a lot of places say kids welcome. I know a lot of places where you're welcome to take crack, but I don't. Please don't bring them in. They are loud and hideously annoying to everyone else who is there - including other parents - and yes you will get hostile glances and comments, so don't be surprised.

Also - if when you've ignored the above and your miracle runs into my knee as I enter the garden, causing me to spill the three pints I'm carrying all over it, and annoy me even further, then please don't act surprised when I refuse to care that your spawn is wet, and yes that I insist you replace the beer spilt. You and your spawn are very, very annoying, and your spawn shouldn't even be here in the first place. Face up to it and your responsibility - your life is on hold now, mine is not.

Sincerely,

A V

Songs with nonsense lyrics
All I look for in a good song is words that make sense and a tune you could hum. Apparently this makes me hopelessly outdated.

E.G
'Just dance, gonna be okay
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, spin that record babe
Da da doo doot-n
Just dance, gonna be okay
D-D-D-Dance, dance, dance, just
J-J-Just dance'

If the best rhyme you can come up with is 'babe' with 'okay', you have no business calling yourself a musician. Sorry. No, that's it, no questions, no argument, no appeal. Fuck Off.

'Let's do it, and do it, and do it, do it, do it.'
FUCK. OFF.

It's fucking brain gruel.

My ration of rationality
I hate it when people set a QOTW with the title of 'Irrational Hatred', when they obviously mean 'Rational Hatred'.
Or the example would read, "People who say "fewer" when they have the opportunity to sound stupid and say "less", when they actually mean fewer... now that would constitute something you could hate irrationally. Or not, as you choose.
It's obviously rational to hate (and despise) people who use "less" when they mean "fewer".
By the way (as opposed to BTW, which I hate), I hate Apple.
But that's just me being rational, so I guess it doesn't count.

People who stop in the middle of busy thoroughfares
So, sure, having walked through an unfamiliar door/ travelled down an escalator/ arrived at a new part of city you need to stop and get your bearings. This is fine. It's the ones that don't think to step to the side to avoid blocking everyone else that make me want to sneak up behind them and shout GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY into their tiny delicate lug'oles.

Solutions
Everything is a sodding solution these days.

Case in point: I passed a lorry this morning emblazoned with the phrase "Furniture Solutions".

"Solution", really? If I need to buy a chair I have a furniture problem, do I? And the only thing that can solve it is a "Furniture Solution". AAaaargh fuck off!

If I'm hungry, do I need a "Food Solution"? If I'm tired do I need a "Sleep Solution"??

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh and breathe

Oh God, so so much.
Off the top of my head, people who say 'off of' when they mean 'from'. FUCK YOU MILLS! It was never funny and the sycophantic morons that copy you need to be grated to death.

Oh, and pretty much every news program and service ever. No, I don't particulary care what some Japanese seaweed farmer thinks about radiation. Oh, all right, I suppose it's ok to know what the public are thinking out there, but I do feel that you should probably follow his wild fear-induced speculation about glowing molluscs with somebody who ACTUALLY KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE ON ABOUT. A nuclear physicist, perhaps?

*EDIT* Upon reflection, I think that this could be expanded to pretty much all news coverage. Flat Earth News should be on the National Curriculum.

Sorry if this is coming across a bit Charlie Brooker. Also, more CAPS! than I usually indulge in.
