Coworker kept using a screwdriver to pry things in a server rack

Watched this guy try to pop out a drive sled with a flathead and almost scratched the chassis. I handed him a plastic spudger from my kit and he looked at me like I was speaking another language. Noticed Mouser sells a 10 pack for like 6 bucks, way cheaper than replacing a bent panel. Has anyone else had to explain basic tools to someone who's been doing this for years?

Wait, he looked at you like YOU were the weird one? That's wild. He's been in a server rack that long and never heard of a plastic tool?

Haha @grantw41, reminds me of a guy who got mad I used a rubber mallet on his fiber runs.

My buddy saw a senior IT guy trying to remove a bracket with a pair of pliers, chipped the paint off three other brackets before someone stopped him.
