About once a week I accidentally send a sticker in Signal. It feels like it should be impossible, but somehow my subconscious muscle memory uses those positions for something. But I've never met anyone else with this problem and still haven't figured out how or why I'm doing it, so I can't blame them.

my older relatives do this with swipe-to-reply, every other message is a reply to some random previous message ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This just underlines how unintuitive swipe gestures are. There is no way to tell the feature exists or what swiping might do, and having horizontal finger drag do interactions when vertical drag just browses is simply inaccessible to many people.
I still do not understand why everyone and their cat copied that from Tinder.
