Things that weirdly give you thrills ?

[Cheddarsmedders]

Pulling up weeds by the root - gives me shivers. I can’t even walk past them in the street.

[Jozen]

Another weed puller here.
Also the satisfaction of plucking an eyebrow hair and seeing the bulby bit at the end. Ooooooh!

[froomeonthebroom]

Getting into fresh bed sheets

[Ninjawannabee]

Pulling out pubes, ideally seeing the bulb bit, and if it's a really long and fat tube bulb I'll often nibble it off

[WheelyCote]

Smell of a freshly opened quality street tin

Plucking chin hair ..it's a love hate thing

[Coconutcreampie]

Bathing in the blood of my kills


(I may be at that slightly manic point of sleep deprivation where I think I'm hilarious but everyone else just thinks I'm wierd)

[CoraPirbright]

Oooh where do I start?! I think life is so much richer when you stop to really appreciate the little things like:
Bubble wrap
Fresh sheets
Buying a new notebook
The sound of ice cubes falling into a glass on a hot day
The funny diamond patterns that bounce around on the bottom of a swimming pool in the sunshine
When kit kats used to be in foil, slitting the foil with your fingernail by sliding it down between two fingers
New foil on a jar of coffee (sadly lost to me now that I only ever buy refills)

And on the grosser end of things:
Spot squeezing
Removing gunk from the corner of your eye and pulling away strings of it that go around your eye

I get a little buzz out of seeing the same people at the same time every day.

On my morning walk to work there's the lady having a fag outside the bookshop, the man who is always struggling up the hill on this bike, the woman who waits for her kid in the swimming pool doing a colouring book...there are lots.

It sort of makes me feel weirdly cosy.

[WhipItGood]

Ah these are all fantastic! So many I thought were just me.

I like it when everyone slows down and pulls over for an ambulance. Feels like everyone is trying to help by doing the right thing in an emergency and I feel proud of us all 😊

I used to like the smell of Sunday colour supplements in newspapers, but they don’t seem to smell of much anymore 😟

Making lists and ticking things off. I have even been known to add a forgotten thing to a list after I’ve done it anyway, just to tick it off.

[goldentrianglex]

When I've hung washing on the line outside, I always have to look back and admire it just before go in the back door.

[WhipItGood]

I do that too golden!

Also if I tidy up a cupboard or room, I go back to admire it a couple of times (before family life trashes it all again)

[DameDaffodil]

TroysMammy
Me too! I love it, could never have short hair just for that reason

[DuggeesWoggle]

Whipit I read a book once about getting things done (I am a terrible procrastinator) and the suggestion about lists was that the first 3 items should be:

1. Something you have already done, so you already have something ticked off.

1. That thing you're not looking forward to/been putting off, to get it tackled straight away.

1. Something you enjoy, so you have a reward for doing that awful thing you don't want to do.

Once you've done those 3 things you are well on your way to getting through your list!

[JeremyCorbynsBeard]

Pressing the button on the vacuum cleaner and watching the cord whizz back in. Still seems like witchcraft to me.

[WhipItGood]

That’s a good tip Duggees I’ll give that a go. I’m also a terrible procrastinator which I think is why I make lists anyway

[JeremyCorbynsBeard]

Also, opening the dishwasher to find it empty.

[QueenOfMyWorld]

Getting into freshly washed bedding first(dh knows he's not allowed)

[Outedsochanged]

Working with really big machines (where their tyres are as tall as I am) it's the power thing of them making me feel insignificant rather than the in control powerful work woman I have to be. (Thankfully I work in construction)

[DuggeesWoggle]

I said I read the book WhipIt I didn't say I put any of it into practice

Well not past a 3 item list anyway

[ArtemisWeatherwax]

Surviving a trip in a glass lift. Even if it's just in Reading John Lewis so all of 3 floors worth. Growing up I was lead to believe glass lifts = dicing with death. I all so like looking out of tall buildings when everything is small.

[FoxyBoxter]

have long hair and when I wash it in the shower a few loose hairs slither down my back and congregate in my bum crack. When I feel a tickle there later I love shoving my hand down the back of my trousers and pulling the long hair out from my bum.

🤣🤣

[BowieCat]

The optician looking right in my eye. So close, yet you cannot touch each other. It’s just full-on in that moment, until they swivel away and everything’s back to normal social convention of interactions again

Me too Spaniel but my optician is a Greek bloody god pretty much, he's beautiful

I work in a motorcycle dealership, my office is pretty close the workshop. When the technicians rev the engines of the big bikes it still gives me a thrill every time.

[myidentitymycrisis]

fanny gallops haven’t heard that for ages!

[Buddyelf]

This is my favourite thread ever! I’ve laughted out loud at some of these!
I also love ticking off a list, and also add things later on that I’ve alreay done just so I can tick it off.
Peeling anything! Plastic lids, wallpaper, if it comes off in a big bit it’s so satisfying. I love the noise a car makes when it reverses fast.

[lecossaise]

Sticking cotton buds in my ears. (I know it's bad!)

[luckycat007]

At the dentist when they use the wee scrape thing on your teeth. Blackhead extraction. A really big poo coming out.
