Williamson County tax office having a drive through for vehicle registration renewal.  Whole thing took about 90 seconds in my car.

Going on my morning walk while the leaves are falling down the street. Man, I love the fall. 

[Underdog 29305]

Until you gotta rake that shit up(just spent a few hours mowing,raking,blowing leaves). 

[NeverMarryAStripper 22486]

Yeah, you can celebrate by coming over and raking my yard

I jerry-rig a piece of plywood over the exit side of my zero turn, instant mulcher.

Figuring out how to fix something around the house that you've never worked on before, and it only taking about 15 minutes and $10 in parts.  Especially when calling in a professional would have been $100 minimum

[BigDHornfan 6638]

First nut after having to refrain for a week after a vasectomy.  may not be trivial on second thought.

When you use the Font drop-down box in Windows ... powerpoint, word, notepad, whatever.... and are inundated with 1000s of fucking butt fucking ugly ass shit that you would never voluntarily choose in a million years...............

Arial Condensed, Franklin Gothic, Courier Regular, Courier New, Impact, all the ridiculous Scripts, 300 variants of Segoe, motherfucking Webdings and Wingdingdongs....

 

on all my computers i tried to delete it from the computer 1 by 1.  and most of them, windows wont allow because its a "system protected font"

 

well i just discovered you could right-click on all the motherfucker and "Hide" them.  never to be seen on a drop-down menu again. hallelujah

Buying reserved seats unreasonably close to some asshole in an otherwise uncrowded movie theater and making him have to get up and move.

It wasn't the proximity, it was the masturbation.

Having a microwave upstairs and the excitement my kids get over warmed PJs this time of year

[elfenix 34846]

Paying for basic economy and still getting a carry on and a window seat

 

Edit: also, 3 beers in the lounge beforehand

[NeverMarryAStripper 22486]

When those beers kick in you’re going to regret the window seat

[elfenix 34846]

Also, no one in the middle seat.

[lateshow 1332]

Fuck a window seat. #teamaisleseat

[52-80 19382]

I just bought one of these watt-meter thing that you plug electronic devices into, and it measures how much power its drawing.  Shit's dope.

Can see how much juice things draw when they're idle, when on stand-by, when in use, etc...

Yes, but the beach makes it worth it

The device that popularized is call Kill A Watt but now there are hundreds of generics for <20$.  You can get fancy ones that transmit data via Bluetooth.. .some built into a power strip, etc.  Mines just a basic one with an LCD reading on it

Why is a 1-pack $20, but a 2-pack $114, 3 - $170 and 5 - $284? WTF?

Search for "watt meter" and buy any of the other generics

Swinging the door at the office break room to perfectly close with a gentle click. Any door really.

Crop dusting a loud place where you can just let it fly.

I overheard my 6 year old daughter tell her two friends “if you don’t play nice I’m gonna have to punch both of you in the face!”

No idea why but that pleased me.

Coming back from a short-trip Thanksgiving dinner with zero leftovers to deal with.

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Sometimes my wife will open a beer then decide she doesn't want it.  Guess where it goes?  The answer is in my belly.

[Guest]

Finding a Thanksgiving photo of my son on deployment on his Army unit's webpage.

Very, very cool!!!

You should ask @HouTex.

Just finished a complete brake job on my old truck. I put in new pads, rotors, and calipers. I took it for a test drive and everything is working like a champ. There’s something about working with your hands to accomplish something that gives you a great feeling.

 

Of course, I left my phone sitting on the rear bumper when I took it for the test drive. I had to use my iPad and find my iPhone app to track it down. The screen protector was smashed to shit, but not one scratch on the screen. I appears that the camera is now nonfunctional though.

Sounds like you came out way ahead.
