“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”.
“bUt I LiKe It ThAt WaY!!1!11!!!”
If you try to “help” by taking control, you’ll soon find that all the similar tasks are delegated to you and no learning takes place at all. So your only option is to just watch them fail and bear suffering.

Obviously they’re wrong.
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.
There is a reason I always say, “backslash, the one without the question mark”.
Yup. You can’t say “the one leaning to the left” because, and trust me on this, there’s a number of ways a person can screw that up.
yup - def a pet peeve
Years ago I came in hot to a new team acting like I knew everything and the lead refused to teach me. Totally my fault for being a horse’s arse. However, I taught myself and got really, really good at it. The team lead had been doing it for four years. When I saw how he was doing it, I had to cringe. My way was way better. But if I tried to show him my way, it would have been like I was acting like I knew more than them. Had I come in more humbly, my contribution would have probably been better received. It didn’t work out with that team.
I don’t act like I know better than others so much now, if I catch myself. Sometimes their way works for them. And I’m not young. There are probably younger people than me who are faster. Maybe they use AI. I refuse to.
You’re never gonna be the best. Try to be the kindest.
Not necessarily … I have a young colleague who has an absolutely Insane typing speed, he never copy-pastes anything shorter than something like a hundred characters simply because he types that much faster (and during all these years, I’ve never ever seen him make a mistake).
I have the opposite problem. I don’t care how other people set up their workflow, but I get criticized for not using the defaults while performing better. 🙄
I have the problem that I give off a vibe as an onlooker. I’m not trying to be judgmental but I guess I ooze it.
Edit: Your case makes me chuckle. I used to love watching IT struggle because I got rid of default desktop and quick launch icons. Finally we have all learned to search.
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.
lol I tap on my own screen when I forget which computer I’m using.
Why tho? Seems no worse than riding in a car with somebody else driving - and in that situation your life is at stake.
That’s almost as bad. I don’t like being in my own car if someone else drives. “Shift mothefucker” I’d say in my head while sitting uncomfortably
When I’m riding in a car with someone they don’t constantly make a wrong turn even though you’re pointing right at the right one. They also have an understanding of the language and the location of the controls. If I tell someone to turn up the radio they very rarely rip the rear view window off the car instead.
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.
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
My personal hell will be this but they’re also a loud chewer that licks their fingers and gets wet Cheeto dust all over everything.
