Is there a better smug moment, than getting the washing in off the line, 5 minutes before the heavens open?

Not putting it out because your spider-sense told you it was about to rain, and then being proven right?
Midlands? Just got all the shopping out of the car just in time!
As a da, its getting the lawn mowed just before the rain. Even better if the sky is getting dark whilst you’re halfway through. Even BETTER if it rains for a straight week after.
Very relevant. If only I had checked Reddit few mins before, my clothes would be not damp enough to call it dry.
It’s the little things that make up the big things in life haha
Closing the door and then hearing the deluge a split second later.
Yep, getting the grass cut and the lawnmower back in the shed. Bonus points if you hear the neighbour just about to start cutting theirs, but they left it too late, ha ha ha, fuck you Tom.
Yes – pushing the ‘start’ button on your dryer as you watch your neighbor scramble to get her clothes in off of the line before the rain starts.
Getting the washing in off the line five minutes before the heaven open, but just *after* your spouse told you not to bother because the forecast said it was going to be sunny all day.
Getting your washing in but then seeing the sheets and jeans of one of your neighbours who is just a cnut getting so wet the water is dripping from the clothes. Oh that puts me in a great mood
its beyond me how people can trust the weather when it comes to hanging out washing
Latest Radar Map on [Met.ie](http://Met.ie) is great for showing where the rain clouds actually are and when they will be over the gaff. Great for planning outside drying !
Driving past a line of stopped traffic in the empty buslane at 19:05 in the evening.

Gazzumping some fucker’s massive landrover for a parking space. When they drive past it to reverse in, just nip your little econobox into it.

Getting something finished in work at Enterprise o’clock. Not wondering how to fill the last hour of the day. Not having it hang over for the weekend
, or having the crunch to get it done. Just slipping out the office quick and clean like a lubricated shite from a hairless arse.
When it starts drizzling *ever so slightly* when you are 100-200 metres from your front door, and starts absolutely bucketing just as you get under cover and inside.
Use [NetWeather.net](http://NetWeather.net) Radar to get the clothes in just before any rain arrives.
Sometimes it’s to get one over on your other half.
Our PVC front door handle was sticking like crazy. It was literally lifting the door when we pushed down on the handle. It got to the point where we rarely used the door. It was months of not being able to persuade it to open once the handle had been pulled up into the lock position.
I generally defer matters like that to my other half. I suggested WD-40. He explained all the reasons it wouldn’t work. I listened and respected his knowledge. FWIW, he an incredibly practical, clever man.
One day I was letting myself back into the house. We’d gone out the kitchen door but I’d forgotten to take the key from him before coming home. I had to use the front door. It took 10 minutes of jiggling to get the door open.
You know where I am going with this. I marched into the house, grabbed the WD-40 and did a quick spray on each of the locking mechanisms.
We haven’t had a hint of a problem since.
