'The nicest things are those [that] are totally unexpected,' according to a new study that surveyed people on what brings them happiness out of the blue. Here are the top 30 answers.
A new survey has identified the happiest and most unexpected things that happen to people — and pulling out money from the pocket of an old pair of jeans is high on the list. Other winners: Getting a refund out of the blue — and receiving a compliment from a stranger. The poll of 2,000 adults found that 36% of people also relish being allowed to jump ahead in line at the grocery store, according to SWNS.
But it’s not just being on the receiving end of unplanned surprises that brings the most joy, the same research found. Some 77% of those polled said that making others happy improves their mood, too. Being available to a friend to listen was among the 'how to help other people' suggestions. Also, nearly four in 10 people said they've cheered up others by making an effort to cook a meal for those loved ones or simply by letting another driver into their lane while on the road.
The words 'delighted,' 'optimistic' and 'grateful' are among the words respondents used to describe the feelings they get when they bring some happiness to other people. And 84% of those polled, via OnePoll.com, said these moments in life restore their hope in humanity. The moments of happiness that come out of the blue are preferred by 36% of people — while 14% actually would rather have some heads-up if something wonderful is on its way, according to the study.
