There was a "press roll" that only had 12 exposures. Sometimes photographers used those small rolls because they needed to change film speeds or types pretty quickly (events, weddings, etc.).
There are entire looks that don't happen anymore because of the technology - basically no flash photography, no red eye, none of those shots where the subject is completely out-of-focus but the scenery is fine. A lot of the fun of getting film back from a lab was seeing the bizarre things that happened by accident.
If you ever worked in a lab, it was shocking to see how many photos people took of their cats and dogs, and the pet had red eye in 1/3 of the shots.
