Sophie 23,028 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I think there is too much negativity in the world so this topic is for sharing things that made you smile. It could be a video, a joke, a funny conversation at work. What made you smile? 1 1 Quote Link to post

LovesToWet 3,408 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 On a day to day basis, my family make me happy and today was nice as it's father's day and the cards and presents I got were very nice. Other things that make me happy (which others may find sad and boring) are cleaning my bikes, drawing and finding some quiet time to myself. 3 Quote Link to post

Popular Post gldenwetgoose 20,236 Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 Yesterday I went to a local hospital for a scan - it's originally an old Victorian building, so is all organised around one long corridor, with wards and other departments off little corridors either side. It must have been nearly a ten minute walk to where the map said 'Area 4 Reception' was, but no sign of it. Then I noticed the appointment letter said it was on the first floor, which would explain it. Finally on the corridor just above where I'd been walking I saw the sign for 'Area 4 Blue Reception' and turned through the double doors off that main corridor. On either side were rooms with their doors closed, but in front on me the room opened up into a wider reception area. A desk with the usual plastic screen above it and about a dozen and a half chairs. About half of the chairs were occupied with pensioners and ill looking people, but I barely noticed them after my eyes met with the first person I saw. Sat closest to my pathway to the desk was a member of the medical team (a nurse I guess, but wearing scrubs and sterile gloves. It was impossible not to notice her really, partly because she was sitting sideways on the chair - long slim legs crossed and reaching into the corridor. She looked athletic, maybe a runner - not over developed, but certainly no couch potato, and long blonde hair tied tightly back in a pony-tail. A lovely posture, leaning slightly forwards with her elbows resting on her knees. If she was modelling and I was photographing it's certainly a pose that would work perfectly. The main reason she was the first person I noticed though was the way she made eye contact and gave me the biggest, warmest smile you could imagine. A really genuinely friendly look - not the sort of barista-trying-to-earn-a-tip smile, but the sort of smile you'd give an old friend when they remember your birthday. I think we may even have said hello, which wouldn't be too unusual given she was hospital staff and I was a patient, although I imagine she was just sitting waiting for an in-patient who was having a scan. Now it's worth mentioning at this point that I'm a doofus - after a couple of minutes of the stern lady behind the reception desk looking for my name on the appointment list, she checked my letter and confirmed my idiocy. It was Tuesday and my letter said Wednesday. There was a brief discussion in front of all the patients about them 'possibly being able to fit me in as I was there but they were busy' and me apologising as it was totally my fault and I'd come back today. So with the entire reception area having the knowledge I don't know what day it is, I turned around taking in their smirks and amusement and walked back towards the door - my embarrassment evaporating at the sight of that glowing smile again. And that smile - that was the thing that has been making me smile ever since. Smiles are infectious. 2 1 5 Quote Link to post

Popular Post steve25805 121,220 Posted November 21, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 21, 2022 Things that make me smile and brighten my day in work (in a supermarket) are those special moments when you have a really friendly chat with a pleasant customer and ten minutes after they've gone a manager comes up to you full of praise because that really nice customer I was talking to took the trouble to queue at the customer service desk just to put in a good word for me. Doesn't happen often but it brightens my day when it does. 2 3 Quote Link to post

Do a bad job and they'll tell everyone they meet. And that was pre-internet. In your industry, that'll be a customer who comes back to your supermarket repeatedly and probabaly recommends it to friends and family too. 1 Quote Link to post
