My example: rinsing spicy sauces and peppers off in my sink so the spiciness aerosolizes and I realize when it makes me cough. Every. Damn. Time.

    Letting batteries drain too far:

    • In phones where it’s hard to replace and old laptops where it’s hard to source a replacement
    • In AA/AAA-powered devices where a dead battery will evolve hydrogen gas and eventually break its seal, causing a leak

    Also, I really should be buying Lithium AA/AAA cells now that I have so few devices that need them, but I keep buying a pack of alkalines each year. Ni-MH voltage falls just a tad short.
