When people right click to copy and paste instead of Ctrl C and Ctrl V.

Also not using Alt/Tab or Ctrl/Tab.

What's yours

They do have very subtle differences.

Just thought of another one - typing text into a userform field and then clicking the highlighted NEXT button with the mouse instead of just pressing enter.

When people delete an entire line of text just to put in a missing letter at the start.

Or use the space bar three million times in Word instead of lining text up using tabs on the ruler.

This! When people have the start button in places that it shouldn't be. I know it might be anal to say keep it at the bottom, but that is how I have it, so that is how it should be.

It just annoys me that every application other than Windows OS has the menu bar at the top
