In Canada Chip Cards came out in the last 5 years or so.

Prior, it was swipe card, instantly select Checking or Savings, instantly type PIN, then APPROVED and go.

Now with Chip and Pin:

Insert card, processing, checking or savings? processing, Insert PIN processing, authorizing, PIN OKAY DO NOT REMOVE CARD, authorizing. Remove Card.

It triples/quadruples the time you spend waiting at the machine.

Phone cradles for cars that have those massive wings on either side of the device.

Like every single major phone on the market is less than 10mm thick. Having 30mm of rubber padding on the side is pointless as gently caress and as an added bonus, the cheaper ones tend to put the pads right next to the keyboard, meaning you cant easily get your finger to the edge of the screen.

For example:

Although this one is OK because it has an adjustable foot height, so you can make the wings sit above the keyboard by dropping the foot to its lowest point.

Maybe dont use your phones keyboard while driving the car that the phone is mounted to?

I dont, but sometimes my passenger does for GPS, or if I pull over to do it myself.

Then its 1000x easier to pull the phone off the mount and type, then put it back no?
