What everyday objects become surprisingly challenging to use in zero gravity?

For some other things - the astronauts have to use a seat-buckle - for example, typing on a regular keyboard gradually pushes you backwards until the keyboard is out of reach.

Toilets are notoriously difficult - if I recall correctly, there is something like a three day training course for astronauts to learn to use the ISS toilet before they fly there.

Things like drinking cups really don’t work - neither do hard glass bottles. You have to force the liquid out by squeezing the container and drinking the liquid through a straw..

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

I’m sure there are plenty of other things.
