This is a question Conspicuous Consumption

Have you ever been photographed sat on a balcony eating a croissant; or wallowed in luxury just for the sake of it? What's the most ostentatious thing you ever seen or done?

this one time....
and sure hadn't I been a graphic designer for yonks at this stage, and many years ago it was too. And wasn't everything done with a little mouse and a pointer on screen.... need an airbrush ? mouse to the tool panel, select airbrush, click, mouse to file and spray away... and so on and so forth (I realise you're mostly skilled tayto shoppers on here so I won't go on.... Anyway wasn't it one day and I back old school doing some drawing with an actual pencil and paper and happy I was with the change... So I make a small illustrative error and do I reach for the eraser with my free hand ? no, no I don't. The years of 'edit undo' were drilled into me so deeply, that with out so much as a shred of conscious thought after making the error the tip of the pencil followed by my right hand and the rest of my right arm glided smoothly to the top of the page (actual paper) and they and I were both confused for a second as to the absence of the 'edit undo' feature.

Oh how I laughed to myself.

Then this other time I posted something on the qotw a week late. A heinous crime I know, please don't call the rozzers..

I can't beleive you used a piece of software for years and didn't think to learn the shortcuts.
