1. People who pronounce "data" "da-tuh" (as in not "day-tuh"). "Da-tuh" is probably more correct, but it makes me angry for some reason. Thus, irrational.
2. People who constantly refer to themselves as "______ majors" in order to legitimize certain situations. "Oh, I'm a comp. sci. major, so my not having read any great literature really isn't a bad thing." "Oh, I'm a philosophy major, so I'm allowed to sit around and think instead of actually doing anything." Not that all comp. sci. and philosophy majors are like that, but these are just some quick examples. In essence, defining yourself by your major is stupid and is simply a way to try to mask other shortcomings.
3. People who don't use turn signals. Seriously, it isn't that hard! All it takes is a quick flick of the wrist. And don't do it as you're turning. It isn't an "I am turning" signal, it is an "I am going to be turning soon" signal. Although, this one is rational, I think.
4. The indie music "scene." I'm the first to admit my ignorance of indie music. I'm not bashing the music. I'm bashing the people who think they're better than everyone else because they listen to music that no one else has ever heard of. Maybe this is just me, but if I ever formed a band, I think I would want wide exposure. But, apparently all mainstream bands are inherently evil. Who knew?
5. Powerpoint presentations. Powerpoint used properly is boring. But, no one knows how to use it properly, meaning that powerpoint becomes extremely boring, to the point where I want to stab the people around me.
