me too, and know someone who would loosen brake cable bolt each time to remove wheel because they were using the second little bump thing on the cantis cable instead of the larger.
also some people tend to like setting up their brakes with pads super close, thinking a really short lever reach is safer. Can make all the difference though.
also often a good sharp whack moves a tire past pads easily, where a slow push and wiggle will misalign more.
