Not the most recent incident, but where I live we observe daylight savings time (which is dumb). I have a large wall clock in the main room of my house in a very visible location, but up high enough that I have to use a ladder to fiddle with it.

Daylight savings ended and I put off changing the clock. Months went by and it eventually got closer to daylight savings coming back so I told myself I'd just wait it out until the clock was right again. 24 hours after daylight savings kicked in (the clock is correct again, I lazied my way into a win!) the battery died and I had to get the ladder out anyway (shit!).
