That Tuesday last month where every single Polaroid back I touched just refused to eject film
I had three separate customers bring in SX-70s and a Spectra all in the same 6 hour window, and each one had a different weird jam that took me like 45 minutes to diagnose, has anyone else had a day where the camera gods just decided to mess with you?

That "every single Polaroid back I touched just refused to eject film" line hit home. I ended up with a Model 100 that had a stuck roller and a OneStep that was making this grinding noise, all within a few hours. One of the weirdest jams I saw was from a guy who loaded the film pack upside down. The film just would not budge and I spent way too long poking at it before I realized the mistake. These cameras are fussy enough without the universe piling on.

That upside down pack story made me laugh, sorry.
