    Volume controls that tell you the "level" - I cannot have them on an odd number, has to be even......
  • Mobile phones. Since the introduction of the mobile phone millions of people have become so important that they must be in constant communication with their equally important friends.

    Twitter. I don't care if you've just had the worlds biggest dump or if you're queuing behind the woman that was on 60 minute makeover.

    All my hatreds are rational ;)


    Though currently shaving gel is eliciting a hatred not commonly associated with bathroom based products.

    Qunatum physicis.

    The bit about never being able to measure a particles movement and speed at the same time. You can only do one.

    In depth, a particle is doing many things and only one thing when you look at it as only one aspect of reality can exist when realised. This supposes that nothing is real until it is looked at. So the falling tree doesn't make a sound when no one is around to hear to. The real answer is that there is no falling tree unless someone sees it fall.

    Oh and

    Pigeons.

    Reminds me of a nerd hoodie I saw the other day. It had a back print with i telling pi to "be rational", and pi responding "get real".

    My irrational hatred is having people on my right-hand side.

    oh the irony.

    Aren't the plurals octopodes and octopuses? It comes from a greek root, so the latin "-us", "-i"rule isn't valid.......

    or do you have an irrational hatred of misuse of the plural octopi?

    the grammar and punctuation or lack of it in the quoted thread leaves a lot to be desired.

    See Lit's 3rd point.

  • Off topic, but Pythagoras didn't believe in irrational numbers.

    Another greek bod whos name I forget came up with a number that couldn't be simplified to a ratio. Pythagoras couldn't disprove it, and refused to be proved wrong, so he killed him.

    People who feel they have a right to tell other they are wrong on a personal level, that goes above and beyond the point of the discussion.

    And

    Pedants who seem to think it's their right to police the Internet and save cyberspace from poor spelling and grammar.

    You have shot yourself in the foot there Lit. This is one of my biggist pet peeves, the incorrect pluralisation of words.
