2 days ago I was in the waiting room for a medical checkup. I had parked ~8 or 10 mins walk away, though day in the city. The doctor took more than I estimated, and renewing the parking was a total of 30 seconds from taking my device out of the pocket, hitting "Extend time", and "Confirm". Done, without risking that my turn might come during the ~15 or so mins I'd have been outside running through the street.

Some things are better in modern times. I'd rather have more time-efficient public transport to not need going by car, but that's a different topic.
