Adding Insult to Injury
My brother's friend Alex waited for the train in Winchester for about 45 minutes during a snow storm a couple of weeks ago. During that time, three express trains whipped by, covering him in snow. To add insult to injury, he had to look at a badly punctuated LED sign the entire time.

This is a contraction of "minutes" and gramatically correct.
