What does economic theory have to do with it? Rational choice theory is about making assumptions about what economic choices people will make when reasoning about people in general. It is a very limited view of human decision making, and have nothing to do with you deciding weather or not someone is rational for getting frustrated over something you don't experience.

But it's nice that you dismissed the author as being irrational. That's another common silencing tactic.

If you think something is trivial, ignore it.
