    The things that annoy you thread is pretty big so figured I'd see if there is anything that brightens up our day a little bit.


    Going to drive through at mcDonalds ordering. Medium meal cause your broke but having two people serve you and getting two drinks instead of one :) (only reason I order a large is for the drink)

    When I find money in the footpath.

    Found 10 a cent coin last week, a 20 cent last month and a 2 euro coin earlier this year.

    When you're flicking through the stations, bored as fcuk, and you find something that you really like! For me it's Irish Paint Magic.

    Was just about to post green lights!

    Ok, finding money in jeans you haven't worn in ages. I found €21 yesterday! And today I found a purse in my car with €17 in it :D

    When you're in a really packed carpark and a car pulls out just as you are getting to his spot.

    Also - when your tea is exactly perfect.

    When you're on the train and the person looking for a seat has the good sense to sit on the seat diagonally from you rather than right in front or right beside you. Thank you kind sir/madam.

    When you wake up in the morning and there's another 2 hours to go before your alarm goes off.

    Those two hours seem like about 2 minutes though. :( Best feeling ever, waking up thinking it's a weekday and then realising it's a Saturday or a Sunday.

    Not so much if you get up, shower and drive to work for about 5 or 10 min before you realise the. Traffic is awful light.

    Hearing the bin truck and remembering that the bins are out and tagged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,578 ✭✭✭monkeysnapper


    I feed the pigeons I sometimes feed the sparrows too
    It gives me a sense of enormous well being .
    And then I'm happy for the rest of the day safe in the knowledge
    There will always be a bit of my heart devoted to it

    When a cup of tea is perfect. Tart, refreshing and lovely.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,438 ✭✭✭✭El Guapo!


    When you say something really funny in front of all your friends and they fall around the place laughing.
    Then you spend the next few days talking to yourself........

    "Remember that really funny joke you told? And everybody laughed?"
    *sigh*
    "Yeah that was fcuking awesome. I think I'll try crack another joke."
    "SHUT UP! You've had your moment, now just shut the fcuk up and don't ruin this for us!"




    Just me then?

    Do you often hear these voices? Have you mentioned them to your doctor?

    They told me to burn my doctor. So I did it last Wednesday.

    Finding something delicious at the back of the press/fridge when you think you have nothing in the house.

    Postcards ( not virtual cards!) with fab pics.

    Waking up warm & cosy & going back to sleep for a few more hours : )Mmmmm

    Helping out the local animal centre
    Giving homeless people coffee and cake
    Helping old women with their shopping



    I don't do any of the above but I love seeing good deeds down in writing, gives me a little boost.

    I was stewing in the sun today when I saw an aircrafts white trail at 30,000+ feet as it flew past way high up at around 600mph. To think what science and human endeavour can do. Made me smile that.

    When no one sits next to you on the bus into work.

    When what you feel like wearing that day is clean and you don't have to spend any time deciding (I hate deciding).

    Catching the metro and one just arriving then you do your changeover and the other one is there waiting. This goes for all public transport.


    When I make the grumpy Argentinian woman in the cafe I have a coffee in the mornings crack a smile by being especially nice to her and she gives me a biscuit with my coffee. She's renowned where I work as being a total battleaxe but I think she likes me.

    A Jaffa Cake.

    This makes my week!

    I love jogging when the sun is out and it's lovely and warm, especially this time of year.

    Wrapping yourself in a warm towel after a shower.

    When you have booked the window seat on a plane and no one sits in the middle seat (even bettter if you end up getting whole row to yourself)

    Getting outraged over an injustice of which I have no understanding of the complex social-political situation on the ground.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,987 ✭✭✭Kerrigooney


    When I walk into a room and my 15 month old daughter smiles at me. Best feeling in the world.

    Maybe that's not trivial tho...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Not raining.

    What are "especially grannies"?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,818 ✭✭✭✭The Hill Billy


    I had an especially crap day a week or so ago (family stuff, work stuff, etc, etc) & was feeling fierce sorry for myself. But on the bus home that evening there was a baby laughing with that hearty, unselfconscious laugh that only babies have. It cheered me up no end.

    Thanks kid!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,143 ✭✭✭D-FENS


    Having the percentage level of Sky + at around 50 % = a pathetic sense of achievement at having “cleared” some of it (i.e. sat on your ar$e and watched TV all day) and you’re well prepared for a sudden influx of programmes to record

    Kookaburras calling to each other in the morning sounding like laughing monkeys.

    When you hand the girl the money in the supermarket and for a split second her hands touches yours and you imagine spending the rest of your life with that girl and growing old together.
