People who don't know the difference between counting and measuring.
So use "less" when somebody with half a brain would say "fewer".
Interestingly, I'm not aware that the other way bothers me anything like as much. Possibly because that mistake is so much rarer.

I don't think I've ever come across an example of someone using 'fewer' when the correct word would be 'less.'
