I don’t know if it is the kind of “worst” you were thinking about, but in a previous helpdesk job I found a text file on a users desktop with a bunch of links. Asked the user what that was for, and they used it tonremember web sites. They were star struck when I showed them that bookmarks were a thing, and added their links as bookmarks for them to get started.

Are you suggesting that I’ve been doing email wrong this whole time?
