This is also nice.

Getting to use a tool that only gets used like once every 5 years is nice, too.

Although a minor thing for me is when girls talk to me, even if it's non-romantic. It's always special for me given that I have autism and terrible social skills.

You should join Toastmasters.  I was extremely shy, didn't even date until I was 23.  It really helped me overcome it, I've been a member for 26 years now.

This is true, sans the autism part. I can't relate there. Especially when they actually want to talk. And not because you forced them or because they want "something" from you.

Throwing something into the trash from a long distance and totally nailing it.

Only counts if someone sees it!

This and this! Especially as someone who is not known for their throwing skills.

When you copy something, then do a bunch of other stuff, and still paste the right thing when you finally get around to pasting.  :biggrin:
