Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

People who touch your screen when pointing something out.

People who open and close their laptop lids by holding the sides and not the top.

People who drag their laptop across the table to move it instead of lifting it.

What's wrong with opening the lid from the side?

[–] scytale@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I forgot to mention - specifically opening the lid with one hand on the side and the other hand holding the base. You can potentially damage the hinges on your laptop due to the uneven force being applied on the lid.
