Little Victories
I recently received a £2 voucher from a supermarket after complaining vociferously about the poor quality of their own-brand Rich Tea biscuits, which I spent on more tasty, tasty biscuits. Tell us about your trivial victories that have made life a tiny bit better.

When I moved into my first house
Had a phone call asking for someone-or-other who didn't live there. Wrong number, but I noted the number they called from anyway. Don't ask why, I can't remember.
Fast forward a few months and a letter addressed to previous tenant drops through the door. Turns out they'd bought a washing machine on tick and given their old address (easily done, all you need are the recent utility bills as proof). Quick check with the landlord finds the new address... phone number is the "wrong number" one from a few months before!
New address details (and a mention of the phone call) straight to the out-of-pocket company, job done :-)

you'd best change your locks
or you might arrive home to find a stinking little victory smeared all over your empty living room walls.

Bit late for that
'twas in 1996, can't remember if I changed them anyway. Shit, thinking about it I was going to change them when I finally bought my own house, but never got round to it! Time to do some lock shopping!
EDIT: four keyed-alike Evva 3KS Euro cylinders on their way, 3 for the house and one for the garage. Cheers for reminding me :-)
