Things that make you proud of yourself for no apparent reason

I was in the GPO today, posting a letter by registered post no less.

As I walked out, I could see security guards milling around and making sure nobody robbed all the stamps.

I looked them right in the eye and thought - Well Mr. Security Guard (they were all men), You don't need to be suspicious of me. I'm not going to rob or pester anybody. I'm dressed for work and cleanly shaven (although, as I'm a girl, they probably didn't realise). I've been friendly with the tellers and I have caused no hassle.

And I walked out of the most general of all our post offices with my head held high, conscious of the fact that I didn't cause any of those security guards any hassle or worry.


made me feel pretty good.

Don't know what it is but I feel proud as punch. Usually give the girlfriend a shout to come and have a look aswell

My ex used to do that too. Come here and look at This, its the size of your forearm!

Successfully removing a paper jam from the photocopying machine in work.

I always feel very proud and even attempt to introduce it into the conversation during tea break.

'Hey guys, did the photocopier jam on you this morning? No? Oh, it did for me. Yeah, managed to sort it out though. Took a while, y'know'

When other people think that a comment I randomly make about sports apparently makes sense and nobody copping that I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.

Actually, the same could be said about anything that I say about anything.

Same, only they're usually asking the going rate for copper and lead.

I don't know that one. What does it mean???

It means nothing, that's why it works. It's a catch-all for pretty much any disputable decision though if you use it right and tweak it a bit when you need to.

Any time there is a decision made that people are giving out about (offside, free-kick, goal disallowed, pretty much anything) and everyone is giving out about if the right decision was made by the ref (eg: "that was never offside!" - "Yes it was, by a mile!" -etc.) just throw it into the arguement and people will all remember some other time that something similar happened and assume that's what you're talking about. Usually they will even give you an example themselves ("that's right, in the xxxxx game a while back, same thing!") and validate your pointless point for you.

Not only do you look like you know what you're talking about, you get bonus points for connecting the debatable decision in question to another debatable decision and using it as a precedent, all without saying anything at all. Just keep things nice and vague and let people fill in the blanks for themselves, it seems to work quite well.
