Waiting 8 seconds after turning off a device, before turning it back on. Any electronics, really.

Turning the TV on off? Wait 8 seconds.
Blender not working? Unplug, 8 seconds, replug.
Replacing batteries? 8 seconds.

10 seconds is too long, 5 seconds isn't enough sometimes. 8 seconds is perfect.

    What’s frustrating is the occasional device that literally needs 30 seconds to drain its caps and you go back and forth with tech support claiming that you turned it off for a minute when it was really only eight seconds.
