One thing nobody ever seems to want to be, or be perceived as, is ungrateful. As in, "I don't want to sound ungrateful, but..." There's always an explanation that's supposed to cancel out the possibility of this behavior.
Just once I'd like someone to admit, "Yes, I'm ungrateful. I sound ungrateful because I am ungrateful, and I don't care." Wouldn't that be refreshing?
Happy Halloween, everyone. Go eat too much candy!
