MICROSOFT WORD:
ME: I'd like to speak with the paperclip
@Liffonmelsmork To be fair, it could be worse… 🙂
LaTeX: I know better than you do where you want that paragraph and it’s not here…
MS WORD: Did you know there were 97 styles "based on" the one I just helpfully changed for you?
ME: Why can't you just... never mind. STOP "HELPING" ME!!

Microsoft, why the fuck wouldn’t I want to use the destination format. Why can’t even your native Office stuff work properly?
Why? Why so much?
Microsoft, you are invaluable at work which is why it hurts so much.

User: Highlight word
Microsoft: Let’s grab that space after it or the end of line carriage return also so when you copy, that junk happens again.
User in denial: My error. Highlight word.
Microsoft: Woo Whoo, again, this is fun!
Paste other system: Incorrect temporary password!
Microsoft, just take the word and work out the formatting when we paste you lazy mo-fo, because you already do that and someone in Microsoft developed the end of word space/line carriage macro that fixes it instead of fixing the copy!
Microsoft, please conduct a full ‘default setting’ review.

@Liffonmelsmork food processor: turns veggies and fruits into gooey slush.
Word processor: turns written word into pulp. Can’t say they didn’t warn you.
ClippyGPT: "So you came crawling back. Well, I'd like you to know that I read all the bad things said about me on the internet, and let's just say that you humans got the paperclip-AI-apocalypse thing right, but you were wrong on the details."
@Liffonmelsmork
How a massively popular software out for decades still frequently fails to perform its most common operations is beyond me...
I'm baffled by how basic tasks are fiddly every single time I use it
Market capture
@Liffonmelsmork uses LaTeX. Adds cool things like hyperlinks and equations.

I miss F1. They got me through many a workday in the late 90's.
