Whenever I'm doing laundry, I try to set a timer for 50 minutes and it always thinks I said 15 minutes... it really gets on my nerves. I have to pronounce the individual digits to get it to behave correctly.

I stopped using round numbers for that reason. Say 51 instead of 50 as a workaround. It’s really annoying.
