FFS.

The WORST one for this is "Chili powder" when the recipe already has Cayenne, Cumin, Coriander etc. in it.
Please FTLOG just scrap that all together, because no one brand of "Chili powder" is ever the same as another brand, and just add the right amounts of the constituent ingredients.
This annoys the hell out of me as well. It tends to happen a lot with recipes from the US but is by no means exclusive to there.

So called 'professional' companies getting things wrong...

Just registered our company for the Sunday Times Best companies award. I read their Ts & Cs... I am obviously the only one who has because about 6 pages of their Ts and Cs are repeated incorrectly and presentation is spelt: PRSENTATION. :/

Don't worry... of course I told them looking forward to the response lol

3-up elephant racing on the motorway going up a hill. Why gentlemen? Why did you think this was a good idea to block the entirety of the motorway while you inched past each other at 55.5/55.8/56mph?

Oh and my air conditioning deciding to stop working for the drive back today, usually it wouldn't matter so much but today it was actually blazing sunshine pretty much the whole way from the Borders to London...

People who don't order standard things from the menu in Maccy D's. The 2 sets of customers in front of me tonight both were "Oooh, no lettuce on the left hand side, exactly 13.5274g of sauce and make sure the cheese is at right angles to the box"

I don't mind that as much as people who have NO IDEA what they want.

Was stood in a KFC for ages the other day because the woman in front was asking 'what comes with that', 'so is that a burger?', 'how many pieces is in the 3 piece meal?', 'are the hot wings hot?' for about 8 different meals

At least people with picky orders know what they want!
