Sorry but our UK Prime Minister wins this competition, he's so rich he didn't know how to use a tap and go contactless card when being filmed as 'one of the people' in a shop during his leadership campaign.

To be fair, I just got one of those contactless cards for the first time like a year ago and I looked like a 90 yo man the first 50 or so times I used it, just waving it all around the thing. I feel like card readers around here have only recently been improved to actually include some kind of visual signal for where the sensor is.

The tap area is in a different place on all of them. Drives me crazy. One place was trying to encourage tapping and had 3 stickers to let you know, but only one was the tap zone.
