someone you like comments on or likes your social media post

accidentally knocking over a cup of coffee on carpet

finding out from a third party, as an adult, that your parents are not your birth parents

(finally) getting a pay rise but it is lower than the cost of inflation

actually completing day 7 of Weird Web October

accidentally touching your eye after chopping chilli peppers

relentlessly plugging Weird Web October stuff on LinkedIn

getting a text message response or a voice message from a long-distance friend

your vinyl record player breaking, and you actually listen to records, not collect giant discs for funsies or just to look at

you come first in a powerlifting competition and do really well despite having a shorter preparation time
