    My wife started a new job a few years ago, and during training she was shown how to create invoices.

    1. Open the excel template
    2. Fill inn the items, and the prices
    3. Sum all posts USING THE DESKTOP CALCULATOR …

    She was completely dumbfounded.

      Don’t correct the trainer and reap the benefits, I guess… ¯_(ツ)_/¯

      I wouldn’t equate that to not realising you can let the shower warm up. Not even close.

      I’m a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.

        Please tell me that you at least showed the student that you can save a word doc as a pdf.

        It was probably cuz you can’t run plagiarism checks on it.

          Yeah I know that one but in this case it was pretty clear it wasn’t plagiarized.

          Ocr is a thing, not that hard to get the text back.

        I wouldn’t be surprised someone else wrote it.

      The best thing about Excel is the look of hatred you get when using ctrl+; in front of someone who’s been manually entering the date through their entire career.
