People that use the term "derogatory thing".

Are fantastic people.

Cliches irk me.

I avoid cliches like the plague.

And Spelling mistakes...

I'd consider Tori Spelling to be their biggest mistake.

I won't take lessons in English from someone who things that 'gotten' is a word and that 'yests' is as well.

People who use the present tense when describing past events. I'm looking at you, 'In Our Time.' 

People who catastrophise needlessly rather than take a breath, derail that train of thinking and start to take bites out of the problem. 

White van drivers. 

Use of the expression, 'very unique.'

American pronunciations like "Moss Cow" for Moscow, "erbs" for herbs and "Eye Rack" for Iraq.
These make my teeth grind.

The Olympics. In the words of Ozzy, 'Oh no, no, please God help me!!'

...and being held in France, empirical evidence strongly suggests that the organisation of said event will be absolutely shite.

The way this thread keeps bobbing up to the top again. 

OK, OK, it's a perfectly good thread and this shouldn't annoy me ... but you did say "irrationally annoy".

Don't forget 'Chill-A'.  Or 'Eye-Ran'.  Which was a hit back in the day for A Flock Of Seagulls.

We love 'em really though!

I set up this thread more or less alongside the 'things that irrationally please you' one. I think this one was always going to have more legs!

Laughably misleading photos on the boxes of inflatable pools.  They photoshop a picture of the pool to show an entire family in it with room to spare when in reality, you pump them up and you could wear one as a slipper.  I tried to find a pic to include in this post but they only seem to exist on the actual boxes.
