I have also accepted I need duplicates of stuff for convenience.
I have one box that has all that I need when we go away for the weekend/week (by car, not plane). All the chargers since the family now has a lot of phones, headsets, kindles, cameras etc. 2 HDMI cables, audio splitters, speakers, extension leads etc that I nearly always need when away for a while.
And then my commute bag has a small essentials bag for the now rarer times I work elsewhere.
All with duplicates of what I already have at home. That I before instead used to unpack and reuse at home, then find and repack all the time, and forget some. Not a problem anymore. My tech packing is literally picking up a box and put it in the boot of the car. Done.
Having a single-letter first name is also a road to dystopian aggravation.
I knew someone with a single-letter name and good luck flying anywhere -- most ticket sales systems won't allow it because the devs didn't read those Falsehoods guides. So you expand the name, e.g. T -> Tee so you can buy the ticket, but when you get to the gate your ticket doesn't match your ID and now you're being escorted out of the building.
