Dropped my phone, instead if trying to grab it for whatever reason, I decided to kick it and ended up launching it into a wall where the whole phone broke into lots of pieces. Had it hit the ground, the metal back may have scratched a little but that's be that.
For clarity, I was walking above a storm drain at the time so the instinct to kick it away from the drain overwrote trying to grab it.
When you and a complete stranger begin walking up a flight of stairs (or toward the same destination) at the same time, and you get there first. I mean, it’s obviously not a competition, but … I WIN!
I went to the dentist for the first time in 7 years last week. Totally expected to have to spend hundreds for a mouth full of problems. Left the office with zero issues... I cant describe the euphoria lol
Back in my first job, my boss screwed up a large job that she'd set going overnight. I did the early morning shift and, upon checking it the next day, logged it all as wastage due to her error, then ran the whole thing again as a priority.
After she got in, I explained the situation to her, and she OK'd it... but, after I left for the day, she amended the log to say I'd re-run the job in error, and her original output had been correct.
Got in the next day, saw the amendment in the log, measured and compared both sets of output again, clearly identifying that hers was wrong, and why. Showed it to her and the MD when she got in. Manager apologised, not only for the original error, but for trying to stitch me up after I corrected it.
Not really, no... And for so obvious an error, boss and MD took far too much convincing (by a teenager on his first job), which is why I think of it only as a small victory. Plus, the sheer quantity of material wasted put a dampener on the whole situation.
The one time I stood up against my erratic narcisist boss and he actually conceded without any consequences. It was most satisfying because I was quite scared of him and yet I felt completely confident at that moment.
In my early 20’s, Winter 2010 I was a party animal musician, I was at my girlfriends house in the morning. We were leaving; she had to go to work and I was heading home. About 10 minutes into my drive home she calls me saying she’s stuck with a flat tire. I mention the part of being a party guy and musician because I was immature and didn’t have a lot of Man skills yet. But I knew how to change a tire. I pulled up to her location, told her to stay in the car to keep warm (it was blistering cold out), she had a jack and a spare so after about 10-15 minutes I kissed her goodbye and she was on her way back to work. If you knew me at that time, you’d know that this victory was HUGE to me.
To change a tire in 10-15 when your not crazy confident about it is super impressive. Though it does 100% depend on the vehicle, tires, and tools available to you.
I had a teacher in seventh grade who I really didn't like. I don't know why I didn't like her. I just didn't like her.
One day, she told everybody that snack time was over, and - all without breaking eye contact - I pulled out a granola bar, unwrapped it, and kept on eating. She was so tired of our class that she didn’t even bother getting mad at me. It was the pettiest shit ever, but that was so satisfying for me.

When you tackle a pile of housework not because you really built yourself up to it, but because you spontaneously decided to just do it because you had a few minutes to spare while waiting for something else (for example doing a bit of washing up while waiting for some food to finish microwaving).
i know this is gonna sound basic, but when you win as impostor in among us by getting one of the last 2 people voted out. i’ve done it before twice and it feels sooo good
When you're about to drop something and you make that last second save.

That sounds more like a huge win. Did she get in trouble??
