Things Which Irk Me.

I like to think that, on the whole, I am a mellow, calm, slow to anger kind of chap. However, there are certain things which just make me irrepressibly furious. Learn them, and avoid them.

1) Shoddy use of the subjunctive case: "If I was...". No. Shut up. Move along. You're to be shot. Shut up.
2) Coventry.
3) People who pronounce <H> as 'haitch'. It's 'aitch'. Not complicated. Google Chrome, while still refusing to recognise 'radicchio', gives 'haitch' the red squiggle of doom. Good work, Google Chrome.
4) First Past The Post. Bah.
5) Laughing babies on adverts. It's my firm belief that children should never be happy to the point of excessive chortling. They must be planning something.
6) Communism.
7) People who label Obama as a Communist. Get educated. Socialised healthcare does not make him the offspring of Lenin and the Devil. Sort your life out.
8) People who barge into you in towns and cities without apologising. Oh, how I hate you.
9) People who insist the world will end in 2012 and moan about it all the time. We all know it will end; we've accepted that and have moved on. I suggest you do the same.
10) The social stigma attached to lists which don't have 10 items in them.
