Abort sending message
My phone, the Nokia 6500 classic, has a weird feature that I have been using quite a lot: Delay the sending the message a few seconds so the user can abort it. This feature is intended to make up for shortcomings in the design that make the user accidently send a message, or accidently send a message a little too early.
I have used the feature once to actually abort a message because I forgot to write something. But I have used the feature countless times because I accidently ended up sending the message before I was finished with it.
A real-life example of a feature that creates the need for it itself.
