Temporary water/food shortage that you have to wait on a resupply for.

Heating gets fucked so people have to bunk up.

A bug goes around the ship and those that are immune/better have to pick up a lot of slack while everyone else is out for the count.

An auditor/diplomat is coming on short notice.

Something goes wrong during scheduled diagnostics so a lot of previously automated things have to be done manually while they wait for a multi-step reboot.
