So, one day I'm hanging out with my friend, and he introduces me to his friend. Middle-aged guy, seems pretty nice, but he's having a shit day. Why? Because he had to copy something from an email, and he spent about an hour, flipping back and forth between two windows, copying the email into a Word document or something. I was dumbfounded, and I said "Why didn't you just copy-paste?" The guy stalks off with his head down, muttering under his breath.

    My boss will purposely screen shot text he writes so I have to rewrite it and not copy paste… not fun.

    Or an iPhone with access to the email. Probably a feature on Android too, idk, I’ve been away from modern Android for ~3 years.

    Lots of times I’ve realized it’s easier just to take a screenshot (or even a photo of someone else’s phone…did that tonight when my wife was getting a weird error in Netflix) and then copy the text (or just go right to search from the selection).
