My father did this.

I was giving him a PC tutorial and I asked him to turn off the PC and he turned off the monitor.

One of my users locked her Windows session and then signed in again, there, I rebooted.

We're about to have a generation of people become adults who never had to connect a dvd player or cable box or whatever to a TV, because the smart tv was the actual video source. Turning off the monitor and not the computer is going to be so common now...

Not bad, some people these days don't know to lock the windows session.

Asked to restart, sees restart and shut down, chooses lock instead.

Zero chance she knew about this though.

When I used to LAN at my friend's house his sister would try poking around my PC when I went to the kitchen for something, told her Windows and L opened some secret menu, boom, locked her out.

I told my kid he needed to turn off his computer at night when he's done. He said "ugh...I always do". Then proceeded to lock it as if proving me wrong.

My esteemed coworker, if the computer is off, then how are we still skyping?

Literally every single time!
