OK, I saw a post about a computer mouse and it made me think of this pet peeve of mine.
I work with an older fellow, both of us as technicians repairing the same electronic lab equipment, i.e. shared responsibilities.
We share a computer in our shop/office.
When he is at the computer and I am working or (catching a nap), the tap, tap, tap of the right, left click switches on the mouse get rather annoying.
It isn't the "normal" soft click of the tactile switch in his case. This fellow, who'll remain nameless because I've worked with him for a decade, actually lifts his fingers two or three inches off the mouse to tap the switch. Both index and middle finger. Poor mouse, we go through them at least once a year. I equate it to driving a jeweler's screw with a drill.
Once, after having my nap interrupted several times, I mentioned to him that the switches on the mouse are tactile and don't need any "momentum" to actuate.
After a decade he still beats those switches like a scolded dog.
LOL, any pet peeves you want to share?
