More examples please in the likes of [1]. I am bright enough to understand them, but not to come up with too many on my own.

Some examples off the top of my head:

  1. A designer who has spent 12 years working in Photoshop but haven't learned even basic hotkeys because doing everything with the mouse is "more convenient". The same person also always clicks the Open button in file opening dialogs with the mouse cursor instead of just double-clicking the filenames.

  2. A guy who often gets out of the building to get some junk food instead of checking out a new affordable cafeteria on the ground floor of the same building, which has been open for 3 months. (That was me, prior to today.)

  3. A manager who has been working in software development companies for 15 years who still uses IE7 as his main web browser.
