Rob and other: On several occasions when i found myself looking at my film i
quickly closed up the camera as fast as I could and ran it anyway thinking it
would be hardly worth it to only get a shot or two off the whole roll.

I'm almost always surprised to find myself with hardly than many shots ruined.

So I'd advise when that happens just close it up, rewind it and run it! You
never know!

Don't just throw the film away!
