For a person who is normally equable to the nth degree I do, occasionally, find myself irationally irritated at the smallest things. Not just *any* old thing of course (as that would kinda negate the equable non?), it's not like I go from calm to simmering rage at the drop of a hat you understand 
...but there are certain tiny tiny little things that, when I consider them rationally, shouldn't matter in the slightest but, somehow, just do.
Example No. 1 - When installing new software onto a computer, reaching the "language selection" screen and seeing "International English" and "American English" as choices....International English?!...AMERICAN English?! Even mentioning it is already annoying me! So i'll share a favourite comment of a friend of mine used whenever we're working with Americans; "Americans! We give them a perfectly good language to use, then they declare independance, miss all the critical updates and break it!" They normally take it quite well...to our faces anyway
Example No. 2 - Of a similar ilk this one...whenever i'm shopping online (all the time then) it always annoys me when I get to the shipping page, go to the menu for selecting your country and find an alphabetical list that, inexplicably, has "USA" at the top...erm...since when did the alphabet begin with USA?
See what I mean? Stupid stupid little things...but they piss me off nonetheless!
Anyone else? Go on share...what pushes your anger buttons?

Things that really push my anger-buttons are:
Strangers who think they're allowed to touch me, especially those wankers who dare to touch my arse when I'm out with friends at night. The first time they do it, I make it extremely clear that it's not acceptable. If they're stupid enough to do it again, I knock them out. It's a small consolation that I've never got in trouble for that.
Beaurocracy in all its forms.
Having to work on a project in groups of people I have not chosen. They never do enough work, either in terms of quality of quantity, and they only seem to talk about the men who fancy them and celebrities.
Happy Hardcore.
When people don't listen to/acknowledge my opinion after they've asked me for help. That's their prerogative, but the straw that breaks this camel's back is when they disregard my advice, nothing changes and they come moaning to me all over again. I don't want to come across as unsympathetic, but I don't want to hear it.
Hmmm... I think I'd better stop there, before I work myself up.
When it's tea time in Britain it is teatime across the *whole* universe. Makes you proud to be British, leather on willow, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, chavs and time... all undisputably British.
'Rah!
