Really minor annoyances

Wasn’t Winston Churchill voted the best ever Brit? Or at least in the top ten?

OK by him = OK by me!😁
He made disastrous errors, not least of which cost 1000's of lives during the Dardanelles campaign. Add to this a lack of knowledge about a flag's status...
 

A really minor annoyance (probably just me) is when they refer to the Premier League as if it incorporates the entirety of football history.

This mornings example was about Southampton. I haven’t even checked if what they saying is correct or not. It’s just irrationally slightly annoying to me that they use phrases like ‘of all time’ and ‘in football history’ when they’re referring to something that’s only existed since 1992.
 
Having to come into work
Taking 2 hours in crawling traffic to get to work
Getting there and being reminded the office building is a dismal hovel that would not look out of place in a post apocalyptic dystopian TV show
Remembering I didn't book a hot desk
Finding only one desk left
Finding it has the crappiest cheapest Edge10 monitors which are an odd 1680x1050 resolution so anything I drag from my laptop screen is generally too big and needs to be resized.
Remembering that half the docking stations were bought for around £4, 5 years ago and are really crap, so both the crap monitors reset every 30 seconds causing my screens to give a black flash twice a minute.
Knowing it will take 2 hours to get home again.

Would be a major annoyance except I have to come in again on Friday, at which point I will hand in my low memory overworked laptop and my ID card, shake a few hands and never come to this dingy room with the odd smell again.

Should have stuck in at school marra, instead of doing lasses work in an office ;)
