I have had several occasions when something didn't work but when I immediately tried again, it did work. I flipped a light switch but the electric light didn't turn on. I turned it back to the off position and tried again. Still nothing. Again. Success! I pick up a phone on my landline and it immediately says on its screen that there is no connection on that phone. I turn it off and try again. Success!
I think that I am too quick and abrupt for the system, even though I am elderly and not fast in most things. I imagine that younger people might emphasize being out-of-date: landlines???
