I can't watch my dad type, and I can't wait for him to type anything. More often than not I end up ripping the keyboard away from him and forcing him to dictate to me because it drives me that crazy.
My mom used to do the same thing to him, although she was quicker on a number pad (being a CPA will do that to ya) than she was on a QWERTY keyboard.
When my dad was here over Christmas and was annoying me with his laptop, I grabbed it and typed the e-mail that he was trying to send. He said "You know for the last 15 years of her life your mom used to do this to me, and I always asked her 'how am I'm supposed to get better at this if you never let me do it myself?' Now I'm glad that you've picked up her bad habits as well as her good, because to be honest I've been annoying myself with my inability to type."
It's really sad when your typing style is so bad that it annoys you. He doesn't even use the 2-3 fingers method. One finger on the left hand, one finger on the right. Drives. Me. Crazy.
