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.

The mobile YouTube apps are the worst for this. Especially because the "back" button is really an "escape" button, so trying to just swipe back to where you were is impossible
