Not The Trivial things that make you happy

All Hail President Murphy

Following on from the trivial things that annoy you, I hope we can start a thread on trivial things that make you happy.

I love pushing the button for the lift and the doors open right away.

Being able to walk straight down an escalator or up it without people standing in the way.

Being bale to sail down the driving lane and use the passing lane without lane-hoggers or slow drivers.

A good thread on boards.ie

when the bus is there as soon as i arrive at the bus stop or train as soon as I arrive at the platform.

when the parking spot that I usually park in in the local shopping centre is free.

What makes you happy??

Finding my favourite bra in my sock drawer this morning, when I was getting ready for work. I thought I lost it!

My 65 year old father telling me that my liquid eyeliner was "totally al dente"

:D:D

(I'm guessing he meant either on point or on fleek; even I'm not sure exactly what either term means!)

Finally found a really good adblocker for my phone in the form of the Free Adblocker Browser. If this catches on, it could be the end of Independent Newspapers/rag journalism.

Well done! There's no stopping you now.

Only a 2 hour wait in a&e......happy days.

I'm sharing a hospital ward with a girl who has OCD (as in, the actual psychiatric illness, not just that she likes things neat.)

She's a lovely girl and I get on great with her, but I get such perverse pleasure out of being even messier than usual just to drive her mental! :pac: Our cubicles are right opposite each other, and hers is all like, bed made with hospital corners (whatever they are), toiletries arranged in order of size, clothes neatly put away. Whereas my entire cubicle looks like a bomb just hit it!

She spends a lot of time looking wistfully across, "If you'd only allow me ten minutes with that mess ..."

I'll take my little pleasures where I can get them!

:pac:

Wow. It's pretty fcuking nasty to take pleasure from making someone with a mental illness worse.

I'm sure you'd be thrilled if she was sitting drinking wine in your face in an effort to mock you.

That's pretty nasty

If she's such a lovely girl, you should be trying to help her.

LOL her OCD is currently under control, that's not what she's being treated for, she's being treated for alcoholism. (Also as it happens, while I have a history of alcohol abuse, that's not what I'm hospitalised for at the moment. And I have no problem with anyone drinking wine or anything else in front of me.) And yeah we both make plenty of jokes to each other about wine and vodka etc as well. Good to have a sense of humour about these things.

Pulling in to a car park and someone runs over to offer me their pre-paid parking ticket as they are leaving.
People can be nice!

Awwww that made me all happy!

This Fat Girl Runs

This won't make any sense to anyone, but...Aunt Tanya makes me trivially, goofily happy.

Badly Drunk Boy

I don't know why it made me happy, but a minute ago, I accidentally told a co-worker that I'm Canadian and he believed me so I ran with it! He's only 2 or 3 years younger than me, and he grew up in the estate beside mine (and they're not very big) yet he still believed me. It started when I wished him and his country good luck in the match tonight.

It was probably more satisfying because he's always pulling pranks on people, although I could have backed it up by showing him my @yahoo.ca e-mail account which I've had since the late 1990s.
