Now that one really *does* irritate me. A handle is for
opening a door. I have a *name*, ok..?!

Good morning, Ivor.

What in the world is the benefit of getting irritated
over something as innocuous as that?

Who knows..? It wasn't exactly a conscious decision..! Is there ever a
benefit to being irritated..? I honestly don't know why it annoys me, it
just does. Isn't there any silly little thing that annoys you..?

I have to say that if that's the worst thing I have to
get irritated about, I am a very lucky man indeed.

Well if it *is* the worst thing you have to get irritated about, you
certainly are :-)
