  • weight measurements in baking recipes (instead of or in addition to volumetric measurements)

  • password requirements. Not using the same password for different sites, just using a formula, but it's hard when some sites require the use of characters that others forbid, or some sites cap password length at a character limit lower than other sites require as minimum.

I had a bank that didn't allow special characters in their passwords (the irony).... I used to have to change my password just about once a month because i used special characters were required everywhere else and until I went to reset the password i wouldn't remember, oh yeah the bank is the insecure password site, and know what the password was then, because I would just not hold shift when I hit the special characters for that site.
