The Official Disproportionately satisfying "things"

[Greedo]

Getting into bed with clean sheets after a warm shower.

Cleaning your ears with a cotton bud

And from my childhood, writing on the sole of your slippers with a ballpoint pen

Any others?

writing on the sole of your slippers with a ballpoint pen

Good call! Writes so smoothly.

Having a satisfying scratch of my ears with my little finger. Though I have to remember not to do it in public.. grosses people out...

Putting butter scraped off a slice of toast back into the butter dish and waiting for the protest from SWMBO!

A nice cold pint of beer after a mornings hard cycling...

Taking a corner fast in my Corrado. Down shift, dab the brakes to settle it, hold the speed on the throttle, point it at the apex and hold it on the racing line, tyres chirping on the edge of traction then hard on the gas on the exit, cams on song and back up the box.

The excitement you feel before a major sporting event which is out of proportion to how you feel afterwards, regardless of the result.

Really? It just makes me nervous, usually.

I can relate to what mickle said, even though I've never raced cars. For me it's accelerating all the way through a crossover turn on skates - there's something about hanging there in the balance between two opposing forces

Early morning farting loud and long in a hotel shower, knowing the walls are so thin that the guests accross the corridor will hear it

The satisfying thpthu thpthu of high-velocity rounds slamming into the jerking body of a "lifestyle guru".

Getting into bed with clean sheets after a warm shower.

Actually that is a nice one, especially if the sheets were dried/aired outside.

I like the 'pop' jars make when you open them, the smell of new books and that sound wine makes when you pour it from a bottle. (Perhaps the latter is a bit Pavlovian. )

The first bit out of a tin of Vaseline.

 

[Dayvo]

Early morning farting loud and long

As long as you remember you´re not alone at home, but staying at your girlfriend´s instead!

Open a jar of instant coffee and remove the cover, making a very satisfying sound.

Taking ski boots off after a hard day´s skiing.

Managing, after an eternity, to pull out the rogue hair in your nostril.

That urgent, frenzied, look-em-in-the-eyes passion of a new lover.

..when you thunder out a rib-cracker in the shower....

Walking on gravel paths. The small crunchy type of gravel that is.
