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.

Just last night I rocked up to Tesco to buy some food. I parked right by the shop, stepped off the bike and started taking my helmet and gloves off.
At which point I was accosted by a very irate man. "WHATTHEHELLDOYOUTHINKYOUREDOING?"
"Sorry?"
"Damn right you should be sorry! You can't park there, it's bloody dangerous, you're on the path! And what makes you so special? Why don't you park in the car park like everyone else?"
"..."
"Come on? What have you got to say for yourself?"
At which point I pointed at the floor. To the words 'Motorcycle Parking'. In two-foot high letters.

Did he flounce off in the huff? Apologise profusely? We need to know!

Sputtered, went red and stormed off without another word.

Is he still wrong?

Win!
There were a few moments last year (year before?) when bikes were allowed in bus lanes. Had a few cars try and stop me cutting back in, with a kind of "hope you get a ticket" look.

They cut you up even though bikes are allowed in bus lanes...
Twunts

My local supermarket has a bike bay, in which the odd twunt will sometimes leave their car.
One on occasion one parked next to a Harley, so close it couldn't be got off the side stand.
Harleys are ridden by 2 kinds of people: Angels, and very large men who would like to be Angels. Their friends are of the same ilk, and it was 4 of these friends who answered the phone call and rolled the car onto its roof. As a parting gesture, they wrote the car owners name and address on the door, with a winking smiley.

Best way to take the wind out of a pompous Harley rider's sails;
When they're being all smucg about how much their Harley cost, point out that a decent mid range Harley costs about the same as a base model Ford Focus.
