My project manager refuses to use hotkeys, watching her copy/paste with the right click context menu takes years off my life.
Watching people open the browser (whoch open to google by default), typing google on the search field and hit search, selecting the first result (which of course is google) and the making their search when it open
I had a boss who didn’t use even the context menu never mind keyboard shortcuts. He went for the application Edit menu to copy/paste. Gave me headaches.
What kind of sick fuck taps the screen with their finger repeatedly??
Animals I tell ya
They instinctively tap on your screen even when you tell them you don’t own a touch screen.
There is a reason I always say, “backslash, the one without the question mark”.
however they get it done is fine it’s just when it takes 10x the time to open something they use every day. bitch how do you live like this
I was a consultant for 40 years. I was that guy that logged in remotely and took control of your PC. People absolutely lose it. It does not matter if you tell them or try to explain to them. On countless occasions I would be on the phone with the person saying I am logging into your computer right now. They would start screaming that somebody is hacking into the machine. It would take a couple minutes to calm them down. Same thing if I said I’ll be logging in in five minutes. I would inevitably get a call from the person that I just told five minutes ago I was logging in saying somebody’s hacking their computer. I am so glad I am retired now.
My girlfriend does NOT use her mouse wheel to scroll web pages. It’s melting my brain.
“differently than you” is a funny way to say “triple clicking a hyperlink every fucking time oh my god you only have to click it once, mom”.
By “differently” you mean “utterly wrong every time”, right?
Had a refinement yesterday, where we decided that we should add all tickets of an epic individually into the milestone (except for two).
And for whatever reason, our project manager had decided to use the in-browser split view and was struggling against that, but also just was about to do it in some cumbersome way. I think, he wanted to manually compare the list of issues in the epic vs. the milestone.Either way, I could tell that he’d need 10+ seconds to even get started. And telling him how to do it would probably take equally long. So, I just open each issue of the epic in a new tab and check on each tab that the issue is in the milestone or add it, then close the tab. And yep, I was long done when he was still trying to find the issue list for the milestone.
That was certainly one of those moments. 🫠
He isn’t entirely familiar with that issue tracking UI, so it’s fine, and of course, it is my job to be good with computers and all that, but still felt wild that he could’ve easily needed ten times as long to do the same thing.
Watching someone earning triple your salary struggle to share their screen or start a presentation fullscreen
😑
I once asked a co-worker to scroll to the bottom of a list so I could see the last entries.
I watched in abject horror as he clicked the little down arrow on the scroll bar repeatedly.
I honestly wanted to wrench the mouse from his grasp and feed it to him.
I don’t use computers, ever, so I never have this problem. My family has been without internet for years and my mother/sister and my father both agree things is better this way.

Why tho? Seems no worse than riding in a car with somebody else driving - and in that situation your life is at stake.
with a car the other person has a licence for it, which comes with the assumption of at least some basic skills operating the device.
Users with computers? Some people really shouldn’t even approach one.
The middle mouse button pastes the selected text, “home” goes to the start of the line, “end” goes to the end. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.
Yeah I unbound the middle mouse thing when I switched, it was annoying
Just add this option to the config file
Opens nano
