Collection of quirks to know for LBO interviews

Hey, I'm preparing for the upcoming PE recruiting cycle by practicing LBO models and case studies. Even after solving PF and 50+ models from previous years' real rounds, I still encounter some modeling complexities during interviews that leave me stumped. Does anyone have a comprehensive list of the quirks I should know how to model?
