Lift buttons and pedestrian crossings etc should all have a second set of buttons at floor level where possible. More for disabled access, but would be useful in these times as well. Seen them in lifts quite a few times, but should be more widespread.

Some old bint posted on our neighbourhood Facey page that joggers shouldn't be running bayside without masks as it wasn't 'strenuous'.
I hope she dies of COVID.
Kidding!

Losing a guitar plectrum and not being able to find one.
Breaking a guitar string and stabbing myself in the finger with the end.
Any dodgy connectors, particularly usb connectors which intermitantly work, and I cannot charge a phone or tablet, then they inexplicably work great.
