Random Friday Thread... what small things make you disproportionally happy?

[d000hg]

What little things brighten your day more than they logically should? Whether they're good (someone brings a box of cheap chocolates into work), bad (parking your car in your neighbour's favourite spot) or just weird (train has an even number of carriages)?

I'll start: Repping someone (up or down) and being the one to tip them into the next rep level.

I have a six inch high fluted glass flour shaker with a screw-on perforated chrome lid which only cost two quid, and which we fill with crushed chillies. This is bought out at most mealtimes, along with the S & P. Livens up many a meal.

Cheap, simple and gives a lot of pleasure (rather like . . . . nah, better not).

It doesnt mean anything much, (being happily married), but when the ladies do a double take , eye me up and down and do a 'phwoar'
then they nudge each other and giggle. nerves probably

Walking along behind some yoofs and one stops, takes a step back, puts some rubbish into a street litterbin and then carries on as if they had done something normal.


(I have seen this happen twice in this town this past year. On both occasions the yoofs in question have been talking in a East European language. )

Achieving the perfect cuppa.

Clearing out the garage.

Waking up thinking it is time to get up only to realise there is another 2 hours until the alarm goes off.

Going for a slash in a public loo and peeing happily when another bloke appears alongside and still be peeing happily when he's washing his hands. There's something very satisfying and manly about being able to piss like a horse.


I am so going to miss my prostate when it packs up (or whatever it does when it does what it does).

[RichardCranium]

Another wee one, sorry.

When the urinal is the long metal trough sort: having the loo to yourself and managing to pee a dog-end from one end to the other, especially if it requires that sideways heel/toe shuffle to finish the job.

I believe it goes into some kind of stutter mode whereby you keep starting then stopping. Sounds weird..........nearly as weird as the examination of said gland!
