Two things.
1. Defrosting the freezer. I have a fancy steamer permanently on loan and it makes this job a joy. However, every time it needs doing it's because I've left it too long and needs to be done right away otherwise the freezer won't close. Added to this my OH is prang about the kids food defrosting so I'm under this immense time pressure and can never do a thorough job or enjoy slicing through ice and creating bellowing clouds of steam.
2. My home printer. Everyone has experienced the bullshittery of a rarely used domestic printer so I won't waste the keystrokes describing the usual hour long process to get four wonky pages.

Don't slice the ice! Concentrate on warming the exposed metal tubes containing the coolant - Soon to be 'warmlant' - to defrost the deepest parts quicker.

And when storing the frozen food, cold air drops, so put the freezer bags into a plastic crate, creating a cold trap around the base for the cold air to pool into - and put most vulnerable food on bottom, and all sacrificial (ie ice cubes, freezer packs) on the very top!

I'm afraid physics can't help with with the printer.
