What I see in Brazil, that is a culture that is reputed to tolerate late people: the same folks that want to be forgiven if they are late do get very angry if someone leaves them waiting for more than 30s.

I used a Sterilair (a small heater that supposedly cleans the air) to ressurect a Sony camera. It also stopped working with no obvious reason, I suspected of humidity and left it hung about 30cm above the heater for one day.

Sometimes a software puts the business in a cast. Me and my friends used to go to a cafeteria every day. Every day we needed to reach for change money, etc. We suggested the cashier to create a "pre-paid" account for every person
