Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

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!

Now that's a good idea. What sort of event?

We are a health and wellbeing charity so stuff like smoothie bike, face painting, games, cook and eats etc etc..

Although the cricket did get a little competitive!!

The aire valley bus is said to be supercharged, well I know a diesel bus isn't supercharged it's turbocharged so using a supercharging name is plain wrong.

Well I have to pick you up on this. Turbocharging is a specific type of supercharging. Supercharging is the generic term for the addition of more air than would naturally be added in the induction stroke. A turbocharger is a turbine supercharger.

Pedants eh, don’t they just annoy you?

What they mean is increased service and £1 fares.

£1 fares sound like super charges to me…

Historically yes but more recently (since mid 20c) a turbocharger and a supercharger both describe different turbines, one exhaust powered and the other crankshaft powered.

Litter, just find a bin or take it home.

In my wife's experience, it'll only ever get worse.
She has worked in schools for over 25 years in various roles. It never ceases to amaze, and irritate her, how many teachers make zero attempt to encourage children to tidy up behind themselves. Classes often look like bombs have hit them at the end of the day.
What chance have we got when kids are being taught, just drop what you have, make no attempt to keep things tidy, it's someone else's problem.

Mont Blanc apparently make their iconic Meisterstück pens out of “precious resin”.

People not putting units , such as saying 10k when they meant 10km, or using units symbols incorrectly such as using m for miles.

A few years back we did a team event where we stripped and repainted some walls of a local school.

People who are so loved up they put their wedding photos on thier FB avatar!
Esp old flames!🤣🤣

 

[Ming the Merciless]

People who only do FB and if not on FB you don’t get to see anything as sticking their photos elsewhere and sharing a link is too much work for the poor dears.

Presumably it's extracted from 3,000 year old giant sequoia trees
