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??

People remembering that I'm coeliac, and going to the trouble of getting in gluten free goodies for me. Now that is being thoughtful.

Also watching doggie sprawled out on her new bed, letting out a sigh of pure contentment.

It can be a busy and stressful time for retail workers but its good to see them smiling and laughing at themselves... especially when they've just asked you if you wanted a gift receipt for the christmas crackers you are buying!

Pulling a sickie for the Christmas lunch I was invited to this afternoon, it's with my colleagues that I used to work with, lovely people but nothing in common. Couldn't be bothered to sit through the tedium. Sometimes CF comes in handy :pac: I am sending on wine, cards and a secret santa present to alleviate any feelings of guilt and I will spend the afternoon blissfully alone and wrapping Christmas presents and listening to Christmas songs

I just won a hamper in the gift raffle at work!

I think the last thing I won was a plastic moneybox in playschool. I'm delirah!

"Make it so DH wins the raffle. It might make her forget about the salary negotiations."

Now I'm not saying this is a conspiracy, but this is a god damn conspiracy. Don't forget your worth.

Daidí na Nollag, my hero. No more rebellion from the little one. This is just one big holiday, sleeping through the night each night for the past fortnight. Doesn't want to go to bed? Well, is that the elves I hear in the sky - you do know they go around and check all girls are in bed before 8pm? All rebellion ends instantly. Massive run up to bed in the funniest (but deadly serious) bed time ever. This morning she wanted to be carried out to the car for crèche and went into another stand of resistance but all I had to say is 'An gcloiseann tú na tuathghinte sa spéir?' and off with her out the door ar nós na gaoithe ag feachaint ar an spéir. I wish it could be Christmas next week all year round!

Also, the young fella behind the till in Woodies in Carrickmines last week. I had been talking with the kids in the Irish as we approached the till, changed into English to talk to him and he started talking to me in Irish. Impressed.

Plodding around the kitchen drinking tea and making breakfast the house is full again, the older kids have returned from college for Christmas I am so content.

Had loads of old stale bread so took it to the ducks ( not white bread before I get shouted at ) . They saw us coming and surrounded us and actually ate from our hands . We held a full slice and they chomped on it . When it was all gone we walked on with six ducks following behind us in a neat line ! We passed a mum and two little kids who looked at us in awe . !

My mam's cancer support group had Xmas meet up yesterday. She asked me to call by as she had to give me something.

While there I bought some raffle tickets, put her name on them, she won a box of Chocolate Mikado, and was delighted!

Same here. I would thank your post EB, a few times over, if I could. What a lovely thing to do.

Glad they are over for you anyway.

That ^^ is so lovely. So nice of you and your colleagues, and he was chuffed I am sure that someone got him a present. That is real Christmas spirit to me.

I work in the English Market in Cork, you'd have a lot of "characters" knocking around there, ranging from harmless auld craythurs to scary c*nts.

One of my favourites of those regulars is this guy John, he's in his sixties, was in the army for years, on the pension now but can't sit at home so he goes in to town, out to Douglas, and just goes around talking to people working in shops. He's had enough of talking to men because of the army so he mostly talks to the women, he's had cancer and a few other health problems so he's no teeth and half a tongue, it can be difficult to understand him but he's so worth talking to, really interesting life. Around three every day he comes by for a chat.

The three of us in my place of work wanted to give him something for Christmas, he can't chew so there was no use giving him stuff from the shop (chocolate). He'd mentioned he liked a certain type of (very cheap) beer, we ran out and got him cans of it and put gift wrapping from the shop on them. Just a little jokey cheap "it's the thought that counts" present.

I don't think I've ever gotten a better reaction to a Christmas present! He was so touched, even to get the bag, and then he came back about an hour later obviously after he'd looked to see what it was shaking all our hands and saying "well I knew ye were good people anyway but now I have the proof of it, how did ye know I like these, god bless ye! etc"
