What incomprehensibly ‘irks’ you?

I agree with you. What if you’d had a coupon for a free oil change & lube job and, upon entering the establishment, you saw a sign that proclaimed a ‘free oil change & lube job’ for all customers and with no mention of a coupon? Would you hand the coupon over? No! Would you balk if the employee told you that those services were only available with a coupon? Yes!

The employee was at fault, not your expectations.

I have mixed feelings concerning retail service.

My experiences have largely been exceptional and that’s what I expect. I’ve had a handful of unpleasant experiences, though, and that’s when I complain. Sharing the latter, one friend might say ‘it’s only a kid in an ice cream shop,’ but that, I think, makes the position menial and puts the ‘kid’ at risk, giving him the impression that what he does is has no consequence.

Is the store regional or a chain? I would write and complain of the experience.

This one may irk others.

I can’t stand the ubiquitous ‘baseball caps’ that have become an accessory for every man, woman and child worldwide.

I don’t know when hats went out of style (some credit JFK with his fabulous locks — but even he wore a proper hat to his inauguration!) or when baseball caps became the rage. I’m irked when (non-baseball-players) wear the caps on television interviews. I’m okay with vets wearing them and young men playing little-league baseball — but grown men is suits or wearing blazers? Ugh.

Some people see my hat-wearing as an affectation, like bow ties. Maybe so.

Being bored. It doesn't make me tired, it pisses me off.

A guy at work was talking about how people wear name brand clothes to make themselves feel better and that they don’t actually like the clothes that they are just trying to fit in. He said he doesn’t participate in any of that stuff.

But he was wearing Vans and I’ve seen him wearing a North Face jacket. It just seems kind of hypocritical and I can not stand hypocrites.

I don’t wear clothing with any visible logos or text — I’m a little irked when others advertise each item of clothing; I just don’t like to feel like a billboard. I have certain brands that I prefer, and wearing those brands probably does make me feel more... confident and comfortable? But I simply don’t like to pay to advertise brands.

People who complain all the time!

People who complain about the above! ;p

BTW, a lot of these irks seem comprehensible to me - I mean, they're things you probably should get hot under the collar about, whereas the thread was likely more aimed at stuff that makes you when it really deserves a

Sorry, I misunderstood the OP.

I guess it's incomprehensible to me because why does that person do that!?!?!?!?

I will try to think of something that irks me for no comprehensible reason.

I’m asking what, incomprehensibly, ‘irks’ you? What annoys you, gets under your skin
