Is it deliberate or a lack of social media awareness ?

Agreed. I've definitely had useful responses to my Random Irritations in the past, often easing the irritation in a way I hadn't realised.Though it should be OK to inform, or correct any misunderstanding held, that leads to the irritation.
I am certain that it is not good for me to carry irritations and that I should aim to divest myself of any I might find myself carrying and try and not pick any up. Sometimes I just have to be open and willing to take on board what can help me dump those irritations - even although I may not like what I hear; or do what I must do so as not to pick one up - even though I might not like doing what I know is the right thing for me to do
And over and above that, it is a forum anyway. If a message provokes discussion then that's supposed to be a good thing. I don't see this topic as any different to any other in that respect. If someone wants to offer an alternative view, they are free to. I thought that was the whole point of a forum.

2nd is probably...Don't consider a comment about a Random Irritation (even if replier states it's not an irritation for them) as a 'question or challenge'!

I think it got mentioned a couple of years ago as some sort of gentleman’s agreement after multiple slanging matches started in this thread.
I mean who’d have thought it, people arguing the to$$ over the minutest of details ?

The bird that shat in the middle of our bedroom window. I can't get to it to clean it off so will have to hope that next time it rains it will get washed off.

Weekend in London for the Foo Fighters gig is still going ahead despite the gig being cancelled.
There’s supposed to be 6 of us going, one couple have invited another 6 people (total strangers to the other 4) and taken over arranging the weekend.
They’ve booked us all on a frickin party boat for the Saturday night ffs.
I can’t think of anything worse ?

Most of those "gentlemen" flounced off the forum ages ago anyways

and the forum is much the worse for the gentlemen that have flounced off or who cannot be bothered to get involved anymore due to the more vocal gentlemen that now dominate and irritate in equal measure
I think part of the point of the thread is that the irritations are not always rational, they are random. In fact, the better ones are the totally random and weird ones imo. They don't need to be corrected or questioned, they just irritate and the thread is a way of releasing some steam. Saying that, there are times, as others have already said, where an alternative view or comment can explain why something happens thus reducing the level of irritation.
I personally tend to lean toward the 'first rule of.......' territory but ultimately this is a forum so if people want to argue against it they certainly can.

That is exactly when I would be cancelling. Once the unknown guests outnumber those originally going it ceases to be a weekend away with friends. Those 8 will be doing their own thing and it will be up to the other 4 whether they wnat to tag along. Not for me that.

Just so we know... are you randomly irritated at :
- The bird
- The poop
- That it’s the bedroom window
- That the window doesn’t swivel
- That you cant reach it
- That it isn’t raining
- All of the above

I think the fact is that you cannot argue against what irritates someone. It has irritated them, ergo it is a random irritation whether you like it or not. It does not have to be rational or even reasonable but it irritates the person involved.
You can't argue against logic like that
. Saying that, is the irritation then not the original irritation that you disagree with but the fact that you are not supposed to argue against it?

The Arrange a Game section is certainly quieter. Those that have left were regular contributors of quality to the forum and also offered to host regularly at their clubs and arrange larger forum meets.
Now it just appears to a place to come for a petty argument, I get plenty of those with the wife at home.
