Good idea fairies

4.75/5 (4)

Military term; An evil mythical creature that whispers advice and ideas into the ears of military leadership, causing hundreds unnecessary changes and countless wasted man-hours every year.

When idiots in charge with no appreciation for how a task is actually done or grasp of reality… have notions of taking superfluous additional equipment along or process step changess “just in case”, that are pointless, unneccessary, time-wasting, resource inefficient or down right dangerous to the actual operators/workers performing the task. Normally generated out of desperation to contribute something to another oxygen-thieving meeting with an over-abundance of ‘buzzwords’ so that they appear to be a savvy go-getter.
