Maybe my parents would think they're really neat and cool (as they have mentioned in similar things before to me), but I would object to that. While their claims of thinking that are perfectly rational from their own viewpoint (because they consider it novel and unique), I see it as an anti-pattern and distraction that gets in the way of productivity.

Seriously though, "irritating" is a matter of opinion. Explaining why something is irritating is like explaining why something tastes good.
