Even my process of thinking about irrationality was, itself, highly irrational...
Rantings of a madman, Part 356:

I quickly saw the Q.O.T.W. this week and, instantly, an incredibly long list of shit that I hate automatically popped up in my head. It was a long list because I make Victor Meldrew look like the very embodiment of tolerance.

It was only after browsing the latest Image Challenge that I looked back at the Q.O.T.W., re-read the title and saw that it was *irrational* hatred (I suppose it would help if I paid more attention sometimes). I may be a mental case, but most of the things that I hate have a rationale behind them. Indeed, many of the answers I've read this week seem very sensible things to get annoyed about. So I won't be talking about any of the stuff that I feel is justified (all forms of disrespect, people saying "different than" instead of "different from" [and there was me thinking that taking the second 'i' out of Aluminium was the worst thing the Yanks had done to our language], Clive Tyldesley being allowed anywhere near a microphone, noisy eaters, stuff like that), but instead proving beyond any doubt - if there is any, which there isn't - that I am indeed madder than a fanfiction story of The Joker in Wonderland off his tits on L.S.D.

The thing I irrationally hate are those awful false nails that a lot of women wear these days. See, I told you I was a nutter. I don't know why I hate them; I just do. I think they're repulsive, and it wouldn't surprise me if I was alone in thinking that. How anyone can think they look good, I have no idea, but they seem very popular.

I've never liked women to have nails that are too long, and I think it comes from not wanting to be circumcised while being wanked off (if I wanted to be sexually mutilated, I could always join judaism or islam instead, or maybe another movement that encourages and/or requires such an evil practice - plus I could then have my retarded beliefs protected by law rather than being laughed at).

Is it only me that hates these hard, sharp pieces of plastic?

no
They definitely have to be real and at most slightly extended beyond the fingertips.

Yay! Someone who agrees with me!
My thoughts exactly! Although thinking along the same lines as me probably means that you'll be sectioned soon - if you see the men in white coats, run like fuck.

No!
They are awful and dirty and look cheap. Yuck.

You're absolutely right about them looking cheap.
Although I knew one woman - who I was seeing on a casual basis - who'd spent £30 on a brand new set of claws, only to go in the next day and spend another £20 on having them removed, because she'd been inadvertently stabbing her new-born son in the head with them.

Luckily, this was over 2 years before I knew her - there's no way I'd have let her anywhere near my cock with those fucking things on. Which would have been a shame as, among other things, she gave great hand-jobs.

Although I do like long fingernails, they have to be real. Fake nails are hideous.

They're also too blunt to give a damned good scratch, unlike real nails which are very satisfying in that regard.

I do believe the Sherman version of Aluminium is closer to the original construct, actually.
