Not knowing Ctrl+shift+esc opens the task manager is one thing, but copy and paste should be taught in school.
My lazy ass sometimes doesn't feel like moving the left hand so I just use the mouse.

I had to teach my little brother how to download a exe yesterday. Like just the simple every software or game type of installation:
click download on website -> click windows version on GitHub list -> extract folder -> find exe
Quite honestly im impressed he's been using a computer for like 4 years without ever encountering a .zip file
And don't get me started with my highschool teachers. One of them got SUPER excited because I showed her how to enable looping on a YouTube video because she kept clicking replay every 3 minutes when the song ended (she plays Spanish music before class starts)
TBF if you're young, so much software just comes through software managers or super easy installers. Steam + Windows store is probably enough for most people. Maybe? Idk, I have no idea what's on the Windows store except Minecraft.
i am okay with this during the few instances where they do things in a better way than i would have. like utilizing some extremely rare/custom keybinds for certain tasks in IDEs. those experiences are eye opening and humbling.
most of the other times though, yeah it's pretty rough

When I'm in the passenger seat, I push on the imaginary brake. When I'm watching someone on a computer, I'm pushing shortcuts on the imaginary keyboard.
watching my boss shut down the front desk computer at EOD:
"you know, instead of clicking the X on 5 windows, you can hit ctrl+shift+Q once and save all that wasted time clicking. AND it saves me time tomorrow by opening all the windows at once, instead of only the last one you closed"
"oh, thanks! you know all the time-savers"
next day:
back to clicking every X

Go on a older person's phone. Whenever I have to do anything on my mom's phone, it gives me a headache. Everything is too bright and big and unorganized and has so man notifications! And her phone is much newer than mine and it's still hard for me.
My mom refuses to turn off notifications from apps so there are constantly 30-40 notifications. Making it completely unusable.
I just don't get it, you can control how your phone works but people act like they can't do a thing
"no don't change anything, you'll break it! i like it how it is"

I try not to judge people....unless I see them right-clicking to copy and paste. Ew.

Oh my goodness... my job requires me to work with a team on some fairly industry specialized software (steaming and broadcast television); the way my coworkers have their shit set up is so weird. It's like we are all speaking the same language, but with wildly different dialects.
In my job as a Product Manager, I make specialized software for internal users in my company. Watching people use it can be so painful.
An example: Look at dashboard view > memorize client name > go to client view > type in client name to search > click to view the client
When they could have just clicked to view the client from the dashboard.
After I finish cringing, I just take it as learnings for how to build/design better in the future.
