We had a friend when we were kids, who's Dad jokingly called him

'Wee man'.

The 'joke'?
Was it his stature? No, it was the size of his willy! 🤦

Emotional damage right there! 😆

A good advert for foster care...
 
As @Andy in Germany says, Team Building Exercises..
I've endured several and nearly always came out the other end in a worse frame of mind regarding the 'Team'.
Hideous events!

The worst (so far) was the two days at the start of my 2 year college course.

The loud extroverts had a great time bossing everyone around and forming cliques, but there was no way in hell I could build any connections or indeed do anything except count the minutes and try to survive. Because of this I was unable to break into any of the groups afterwards and have no contact to people from that college.

We had an away day with team building exercises. I escaped to my car and did some proper work which was preferable!

The best team building is when we put on a event in a local park and really work together and do something that local people enjoy as much as we do!

Oh we had a good one in Spain once. European Team doing 'improvisational comedy' and we'd flown 2 experts in from the UK.
Team must have been about 8 people. What a waste of time and money. Should have just gone to the pub.

Had that in the Netherlands once. Huuuuuge hotel with hundreds of us doing break out rooms to fix the business.
Got lost finding my room so just went back to my bedroom and watched morning TV.
Best of all - all of the whiteboard pads got lost on the way back - so hundreds of people - and all those man hours - a complete waste.
Box ticking exercise at best.
