Such as counterintuitive fixes to a problem, or where a mistake unexpectedly results in an even better outcome than originally hoped for.

    I cannot pick a lane at the grocery. My first pick will always be slowest. If I pick one out, then pick a 2nd, my 2nd pick will be last to move. Even an empty lane will suddenly have issues like drawer change, shift change or some other calamity.

    I now pick a lane and then have my SO pick any other lane for us to use.

      There is a solution to this problem. One line that just feeds all the lanes. Unfortunately, the geometry of grocery stores would make it difficult to implement. Also, most people like the illusion of choice.
