Odd things that you make you feel irrationally angry?

White normativism. It annoys me when white is just the "generic" standard, and everyone just defaults to white, or assumes everyone is white unless specifically told otherwise. It pops up culturally when people draw or paint pictures of people, they're almost always white unless people are deliberately trying to include "diversity."
It's also all over advertising - women's beauty products or men's fitness models - both standards of gendered attractiveness, are uniformly white.

When people expect me to answer the door/their phone when they're out/busy.

People who respond to text-based communication with a phone call.
Chips, popcorn, fresh veggies, gum: anything being chewed (yay! misophonia).
People standing behind me.
People who feel the need to touch me without permission (nephews and nieces get a pass, co-workers do not!).
Expecting higher levels of competency in others that you, yourself possess.

When people insist that music is math, and that being good at music means I should be good at math.
