The word "literally" is not necessary in a...
I’m grateful that when a dear friend says “I was literally blown away…” she literally wasn’t.
people who leave the lights on
I am motherfucking grateful to have a lovely home, cheap electricity and designer light fixtures for my husband/wife/children to leave on in every room.
Cars in the bike lane, drivers that won't let you...
I’m grateful to have the freedom to swear at lane-changers when I’m not one and then swear at stubborn drivers when I’m trying to change lanes. I also enjoy that I can curse drivers when I’m a pedestrian or cyclist, curse pedestrians when I’m a driver, and curse law-flouting, self-entitled fixie riders just about all the time.
My girl friend made me toast and said how much she...
Clients who don't understand what we do. This...
I’m motherfucking grateful to be at home in my pajama pants with a paper clip stuck in my hair, rather that driving every day to an office park and sitting in a grey cubicle navigating the treacherous waters of office politics, an endless stream of meetings, unrealistic shareholder expectations, and colleagues who can’t or don’t do their jobs. If a client disrespects my time, it’s probably because...

I’m grateful to have traveled enough to know that home is the best place on earth.
Trustifarians
I’m grateful that I didn’t grow up with money. Based on my research, it’s very difficult to escape that upbringing without turning into a total asshole.
Strangers (men) who tell me to smile when I passed...
I’m motherfucking grateful that so many strange men remind me to smile. Doesn’t matter where the advice comes from so long as it’s good.
People in the office not saying hello or...
I’m grateful that I wake up every day smiling. I cannot say the same for some of the mofos at my office.
OMG. Being on an email chain and getting...
I’m grateful to have appropriate forums for self-expression, so that I don’t feel the need to ‘respond to all’ on email chains or write soul-baring treatises about pork chops on Yelp.
Sitting at the back of the bus, I observed a dude...
I’m grateful for MUNI, even if it is slow, unpredictable, potentially fatal, and often filled with people who have absolutely no concept of public transit etiquette. Beats the fuck out of trying to find parking twice a day.
Tucking my fat rolls in to my jeans
I am grateful to be able to afford the $80 dinners and $40 bottles of wine that produced the fucking fat rolls I am now tucking into my $200 jeans.
people who won't try new food
I’m grateful that you refuse to try stinky cheese, or any other exotic delicacies, because you’re leaving more of that delicious shit for me.
condescending hipsters incapable of enjoying...
I’m motherfucking grateful that being hip hasn’t robbed me of my ability to enjoy simple pleasures, like Coldplay and matching socks.
