Fun with flags (in Slack)

This post is about a pet trolling I do in Slack, and I thought I'd share with the world.

When colleagues return from time off abroad, they often bring a local delicacy for the office and announce it in Slack, so that we can help ourselves. Normally people add happy emojis, often including the flag of the country mentioned in the post.

Instead, I like to add the emoji an incorrect flag that only resembles the correct one in appearance, planting a subtle seed of confusion. Most people will go on and click the incorrect flag emoji, and go on with their lives.
