Due to the nature of my job and the age of some of my coworkers, I am sometimes casually given passwords on a piece of paper. Out of a sample size of conservatively 20, I have never even once (!) seen a special character other than !. It just doesn't happen. Password rules and a requirement to change your password every X months are pure security mirage and just create frustration in people who often struggle to generate even one secure password in their entire lifetime.
(Yes I evangelize password managers around here. So far I've converted 2-3 people. They are the important people with shit people might want to steal on their computers/accounts, so I'm happy with this.)
