I have seen you post this before, and it definitely depends upon one's seating position. I can not eliminate all blind spots with my stock mirrors. It has been quite the aggravation. But it hasn't been as aggravating as my being unable to get my wife and son to position their side mirrors properly despite years of trying

This. When I picked up my Z and I was driving it home with my wife in the passenger seat, I did not even realize there was a quarter window there until she pointed out (after a couple of hours) something she was looking at outside the quarter window on my side.

The problem this presents for me is when I'm stopped at an intersection that is not quite "square." I can not see if there is oncoming traffic from my right.

There's a window back there?!

I've known so many people that seem to forget that they even have side view mirrors. They don't know what they are for, so they never pay any attention to them. These are the same people that are hilarious to watch backing up a box truck or something else with no back window. They have no idea what to do.

Usually, if I happen to drive their vehicle, I'll just set them so that they work for me, and let them figure it out from there.
