The following is a list of behaviors or actions I have an irrational hatred of. Prior to the list, let me say, I know in several of these cases I have no right to get angry, and I never actually express this anger because I am in the wrong for getting angry. Also, in real life I'm a pretty mellow guy.
1. When you are in line for food, and the menu is readily apparent to everyone in line, and everyone has been in line for a good 5 - 10 minutes, yet the person still does not have their order ready when they get to the cashier. I have no idea what they've been doing for those 5 - 10 minutes, and they are clearly aware that people are waiting behind them, yet they still only START to review the menu when they get to the cashier. F*** these people.
2. When you are in line for food, and there has been a bit of a wait, then you overhear the person by themselves in front of you place several orders. I know they are ordering for their family or friends, and they've patiently waited their turn, hence my frustration is illegitimate. But I can't help getting angry if you are ready to eat, and the person if you suddenly requests 5 burritos instead of the 1 you were expecting. That whole delaying of gratification thing is irritating.
3. People that schedule 12:00 pm lunch meetings, particularly when they don't provide lunch. I don't believe in eating lunch at my desk. I believe it is bad practice and I encourage everyone to never do that. The midday break is important in keeping someone motivated, focused, and sharp for the entire work day, resulting in greater productivity and quality, and changing the physical space you are in is vital to achieving that break. Therefore, if someone schedules a meeting at the time most people take their lunch it is inconvenient and rude, as you negate them the opportunity to take that break. Then to schedule a meeting at this time, and then NOT provide lunch is both rude and inconsiderate. My hatred of this is irrational, as it is simple enough to move my break forward or back.
4. Other drivers. All of them.
