Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 25 August 2024

Uncategorized,

Ok. This week it’s relationships.

For your team name, we want to know what’s the pettiest reason you’ve ever rejected somebody.

I swiped left because he had boxes in the background of his Tinder pic

She looked at her phone while I was showing her The Godfather

His middle name was one letter off from my dad’s name

She didn’t like the taste of the beer I brewed

I hate the colour grey and he wore grey socks once

One of her nostrils was bigger than the other

He dropped something and said “whoops”

Any petty reasons to reject someone will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
