Not necessarily irrational:

Drivers that don’t know what ‘Merge in Turn’ means.

Drivers that don’t indicate at roundabouts.

Cyclists on pavements.

People speaking:

“I feel like I want to say…”

Starting every sentence with “I mean…”

“Nodge” - f**k that.

In big pub groups - the one that always hangs back when it’s their turn to buy a round.

Music snobs.

Tourists that treat restaurant staff like s**t.

I could go on.
