Sorry, had to laugh at that.
Anyhow...
Clinomorphisms tend to annoy me, as do most misconceptions surrounding mental health issues. One of the most common examples is when people casually equate the term 'schizophrenic' with having a split personality (which isn't actually the case). It hits much more of a personal nerve with me when people apply the term 'obsessive compulsive' to behaviour which qualifies, at best, as run-of-the-mill fussiness. Either that or they stereotype genuine OCD-sufferers as reclusive, detox-wielding Howard Hughes-type individuals who'll throw a major tantrum if you rearrange their soup cans out of alphabetical order. The result being that the true extent of the affliction gets trivialised and/or sensationalised. I blame such wildely-held misconceptions for it taking me so many years to even realise that what I had was a recognised and treatable disorder.
Also, as a vegetarian, I get ticked off by people who believe they can intimidate me simply by saying the word "meat". Oh, please...
