A person who intentionally leaves the Caps Lock key on while using a shared computer that logs out after a few minutes for security purposes, such as one used in a retail or office setting. When typing, they use a "trick" to type a normal sentence, such as this one: they hold the shift key down the entire time to type in lowercase letters and then release the caps lock when needing to type a capital. The problem is this: people who type this way are a rarity, so when a person has been trained using an international standard tries to login to this same computer, they find they can't login at all, even though they were SURE they got the capitalization right ... just to look down to see the SHINING BEACON OF PAIN next to the almighty "A" key beaming its light into their very soul as their account becomes locked and the dread of living without access to a computer starts to kick in. Slowly, the normal person, full of fear of never knowing when IT will call them back, is full of nervous shakes. They rock back and forth in place, telling others "Sorry, I will not be able to assist you today, as I am devoid of access, and therefore meaningless to my corporate overlords and also anyone who needs any work done whatsoever". And therefore they wait tirelessly for their IT ticket to either arrive ... or their sanity to slip into dreadful places.
