Little things in life that make a difference...

What are the litle things in life that make a difference to you? This thought occurred to me last night as I went to a puclic restroom, and it included urinals that had the fly stamped in them so as to reduce any "splattering" that may occur. It made my night.

What is "the fly"?

They paint a little fly on the urinal, and they've found that men naturally want to aim at the fly (it looks kinda real). If they paint it on a spot that if the guyy aims there at it splatters less, then there is less clean-up in the restroom, and its just cleaner for everyone.

Hmmm, I like the concept. A win-win.

One thing that has made a notable improvement in my life: I finally invested $10 in a couple bottle openers and attached one to each of my coolers and stuck one in the trunk of my car. This has greatly reduced the incidences of being stuck somewhere w/o a bottle opener for whatever miscellaneous beverages that may require one.

Great topic, Rochin. I too have seen a target like that (though never flies), and they crack me up.

The thing that I think is SERIOUSLY underrated and always makes me happy when they are there - coat hooks at bars/restaurants. I hate going into a bar and having to either pay to get it checked or just stuffing it underneath my seat. Whenever there is a hook either underneath the table/bar or on the side of the booth, well, that just makes my day!

It doesn't take much to keep you guys happy, does it?

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! I think this is the best post in the (11-month) history of Pilot Nation!

Oooh... so many little things that make my life so great... whether that be King Burrito (need I say more)... the fact that any local supermarket carries at least 15 kinds of microbrew (Eat that Rochin54!!!) Funny story... my mom read about the "fly" study that you were referring to earlier and so she had someone make a rubber spider out of a friends "creepy crawlers" oven thingy (those things were awesome btw) and then glued it in the back of the toilet for my brothers and I... It actually worked pretty well, somehow having a target to shoot at was not only fun in its sporting nature, but also did reduce in, shall i say inaccuracies... But I digress...

I totally forgot to put down my own little invention that makes me happy every day, but the inclusion of pockets in athletic shorts... its great, I can slip on my comfy basketball shorts, and still have pockets to keep my keys, wallet, phone or whatever and I don't even have to deal with changing or anything.... I thought about modifying the pilot shorts (that match the legendary Rochin jersey) to include such an innovation, but then I realized I would suffer the wrath of the entire Pilot Nation forum and decided against it... But yeah, basketball shorts with pockets are awesome, I strongly suggest you pick up a pair

you must have to wear suspenders to keep on the matching shorts....

Actually NO... the shorts I got were not matching in size, just style, they fit perfectly!!! I must have been one of the lucky few to find a pair from one of the walk ons that year... And Rochin54 has never forgiven me for it...

true - nor snagging the Coky jersey before I could get to it.....my life is incomplete.

I let you wear that jersey so many times... When will you ever move on??

You gotta get that thing autographed!
