I was in college and had shot 35mm during HS and had also made good use of my
GIII just before getting the K1000. So when a popular speaker came to the
college I got there early and got a front-row set. Then I sat on the floor and
shot up at him as he spoke, walked, and gestured. He got quite animated for
the cameras. (Some people really enjoy being photographed.)
Anyway, afterward I noticed that the film rewound too quickly. And we all know
what that means. (Or is that assuming too much these days? Have people
forgotten?)

That was the favourite failure mode of my Praktica and drove me nuts.
Eventually I decided to always waste the 1st frame by doing one extra
advance to see if it was still winding. Better that than waste an entire
roll.
I think I also figured out how to pop the top on the 35mm canister and
re-feed the leader out when I knew this had happened. Gah! I had put
that whole sour memory out of my mind ...
