I've noticed Chinese people doing this often. I assume that it's to do with Chinese keyboard layouts.
There is at least one exception in my opinion where this is acceptable: when writing special characters with diacritics etc. (for example รฉ, ร ), caps-lock can help capitalizing these letters since they often already require shift to be pressed. I'm aware that there are other ways (i.E. type the diacritic first, then the letter), but the caps-lock way seems easier to me.
Whenever I need to all caps a word, I have this habit of pressing and holding the shift key with my pinkie finger and pressing the letter keys 1 letter at a time.
Yeah, people doing that is my fault.
My bad.
There's a (really good) song on youtube called "clean the fan". It says it all. Stuff is just designed so poorly
People who touch your screen when pointing something out.
People who open and close their laptop lids by holding the sides and not the top.
People who drag their laptop across the table to move it instead of lifting it.
