Can we talk about people who screenshot with their phone camera instead of using the capture button?

I saw three posts this week where someone took a photo of their computer monitor with a phone, and the screen glare made half the text unreadable. My cousin did it too and insisted it was faster than pressing Print Screen. Which method drives you more nuts when scrolling through here?

Saw my grandma doing this at Thanksgiving, she was taking a photo of her oven display because the clock was blinking and she wanted to prove to my uncle that it was 3:45 and not 4:00 or whatever. Honestly that blurry monitor photo thing is way worse than the camera capture stuff, at least the phone photos show you what the actual problem is.

@noahhernandez that grandma thing is hilarious though! For me it's the monitor photo thing too. My buddy once sent me a picture of his desktop to show me his high score and it literally looked like a blurry crime scene photo with light reflection on the glass. Pressing Print Screen would've taken him less time than pulling out his phone and trying to get the angle right. I'm guilty of doing this with my old TV remote settings though, so I can't judge too hard.
