It kills me when I watch my non-technical colleague editing a document by repeatedly selecting words, right-clicking, slowly scrolling down to either Copy or Cut, then click somewhere else, right-click, slowly scroll down to Paste...

He also regularly "checks" spreadsheets with a handheld calculator... Sometimes going as far as not using formulas at all.

To be fair, I do both of those as well: the former when I have only one hand free, and the latter to sanity-check my formulas.
