Waking up thinking your late for work, only to realize it's your day off and you can go back to bed :-D

Deb says:

Great list, You only missed one thing….. Hoping into a freshly made bed!!!!!

ooooooohhhh says:

Findig typos in articles should be added to the list, apparently. Also, I definitely agree that taking your bra off after wearing it for hoursssssss is simply amazing. Also, giving someone a present that they genuinely need/enjoy is great, and making someone laugh so hard they snort or do a spit take.

Alps says:

It's the little things in life…. I agree with so many of these and even a bunch here is the comments.

Here's mine to add: walking into the sunshine after being in a freezing cold AC building

katie says:

I can get a high five from ice cream but I can't put in a VHS?

Jess says:

Dang! You had me going and then you had to remind me that we can no longer back to VHS and Betamax. :(

Aaron says:

These are all SO true

Helen says:

getting into a freshly made bed with new sheets

Matt says:

My favorite ones are, putting on new socks, showering after a hair cut and sleeping with a pet.

Misnut says:

Making poo jokes with a new friend for the first time

Guest says:

The smell of play dough and the original scent of Oil of Olay!

Eli says:

This is sad and interesting at the same time. these feelings, "peeling plastic off something you just bought" for example, are merely a conditioned response to materialist BS

Alycia says:

Don’t forget the feeling from peeing after having to hold it for a long time!!!

pyke209 says:

HA HA I STILL HAVE A VCR TV COMBO WHOOP WHOOP!! and vids are 20p in charity shops

OrugTor says:

Walking out of an over-cooled building late on a Summmer night in a low desert city into 90 degrees.

How about walking into a office supply store or used bookstore and smelling slightly aged paper.

Mikki says:

Top of my list:

Slowly walking into the ocean and burying your feet in the wet sand

Dan in Los Angeles says:

Number 26 doesn't count any more in Santa Monica, CA. They have sensors that erase the time and start over every time a new car pulls in.

Jerry R says:

Great list. Just hope the curly fry was potato and not mouse….lol

Guest says:

How about:
The smell of asphalt right after a brief rainshower
Finding a dollar bill (or a five, or a ten) on the ground
The burnt chip in the bag of potato chips–yummy!
Your first bite of fast food after a night of heavy drinking (or is that just me?)
And for the ladies (maybe the guys too)–finally zipping up the zipper on that special dress after two weeks of dieting!

I have more–but then again, every one most likely has their own. This list (and idea) was super cool–makes you really appreciate the little things in life. Thanks for that!

jammy says:

Ah…yes popping bubble wrap would be my number one! And what about the smell of freshly baked bread knowing you are going to eat it.

peeler says:

What about peeling the clothes off a very appealing person for the first time? Oh, yeh!

Dude says:

What about poping plastic bubbles! or finding money in ur pocket's pants!

A satisfying first world list. But to call these the best in the world is weird considering probably a quarter of the people on this planet have not ever experienced any of these things

leonitis says:

wearing a new pair of shoes for the first time.

Mouse says:

Sniffing the pages of a new book.
Reading a book. With covers. And pages. In bed. Not on a computer.

frank says:

At first I thought this list was trival, then after 5 or 6 items it dawned on me: this is the secret to happiness! Have gratitude for, and take pleasure in, the simple everyday good things that happen in life. THank you! I'm a happier person now.

Theodore Diamantidis says:

When I wake up in the middle of night, I wish it's later than I think, because I can't wait for real life to start. Why would someone wish it's earlier?

Gazzy says:

How about 'Piercing the film of a new jar of coffee'?

ace says:

a lot of these "absolute best things in the world" center around our acceptance of materialism as the basis of our society, ignorant to it's economic and spiritual effects. this list is pretty sad. the best things in life are free dude.

Bridgette says:

Each one is a feeling had, not the purchase of said material thing, but a feeling recieved from them. A fail to see that as ignorance to economic and spirtual effects.

Anon says:

Actually most of these ARE free and are about random acts of kindness or simple pleasures of tactile stimulation (like the hand in a bag of rice) rather than material centered. It's not the electronic device that provides the extra satisfaction, it's the feeling of the plastic as it pulls away revealing a glossy screen. If all you can see are the items involved in these activities or crooked marketing behind them I would argue that you're the one obsessed with materialism.

Mike says:

GREAT LIST!

Nan52 says:

Would like to add one, a cold pillow when you get into bed.

John says:

Orrange says:

Never push a tape into a VCR? How else can I watch the good version of the Star Wars Trilogy?

Anon says:

Closely kept secret of the DVD industry: you can fast-forward through previews because they are encoded like scenes in a movie. Only the menu button doesn't work.
