Do you have any examples of when it isn't always rational to be rational?

I have been thinking about rationality and logic a lot lately. I think these are skills I am ever learning. I want to hear some people talk about it. When I say rational I don’t mean emotionless, I think emotions are rational. When I say rational I mean what the dictionary says.

I am not asking if everything we do involves some sort of rationality (or logic), that is probably my next question. Wait, maybe I should be asking that first. Whatever. Let’s start with this.

For example, I am thinking about the time I jumped into a river to save my daughter. I don’t think I was being rational (Although, I obviously had a reason, which might mean it was rational. UGH! See why I am confused?) Please, jump in and help clear things up.
