Trivial things that make you annoyed beyond expectations?

[Electric_Andy]

Things that make me annoyed - almost all Groups and the People in those Groups on FarceBook. They are so self opinionated. They are also in the majority, very, very, very stupid indeed!
I mean, c'mon, who uses the abbreviation ETA as anything other than Estimated Time of Arrival; or Electronic Travel Authorisation? Yes, the second one is pretty obscure, I'll admit.
It does NOT mean PS or Addendum! Why oh why have I seen it so many times at the bottom of a post where PS would be used normally? I can only think they mean "Extra Thing Added"?

Might they mean "edited to add"? If that annoys you then you should watch "I'm a celeb get me out of here". Some famous youtuber was questioning why someone else was blowing on a fire to get it started. He thought it was wrong because a) you blow on a candle to put it out and b) you blow out CO2, but fire needs oxgyen!

Maybe I spent too much time in Scouts
and the fact that we had coal fires at home may be a factor

BUT
how can anyone grow up enough to be classed as an adult and be so thick??

UNLESS - he was genuinely asking the question(s), as in trying to learn why it works
but as an influencer that is famous enough to be classed as a "celebrity" (definition may vary!)
I doubt it

As ebikeer says, some folks use if for "Edited To Add". And it annoys me, as there are at least 3 existing uses for ETA, and the Time one has been used in official channels for millenia ...
Aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!!!

I thought it must have been a joke, or at least the producers telling him to act thick to draw in an audience. But who knows.

Yup - telling some "celebrities" to act thick seems to be unnecessary!

Maybe that's why he is an "influencer": anything else was a bit too complicated...
