We have pretty low standards for pleasure.
1. When Lebanese clubs don’t play the same exact music over and over again.
Please no more remixes of Dance Monkey or Havana or Panda.
2. When you have enough hot water for a long ass shower.
A long shower after a rough day at work? Sometimes the azan pops off honestly.

3. When the service drops you off without taking you on a tour through every zaroube in Beirut.
Thanks 3ammo <3
4. When it rains and the internet doesn’t collapse.
Extremely rare but it can happen, and we’re here for it.
5. When it actually takes you 30 minutes from the mountains to the sea.
Crazy, isn’t it?
6. When you come home w fi dawle la tetla3 bel elevator
You’ll understand how good this feels if you live on the 7th floor.
7. When you’re at a family gathering and no one asks you “fi hada hek hek?”

8. When you wake up at 11 AM on a Sunday and your mom isn’t aggressively cleaning the room
And no “b dallo neymeen w ma b se3doone” mumbling that we’re sure she does on purpose to wake you.

8. When you find a parking spot bala ma tebrom alf marra
Phenomenal and groundbreaking. Especially true if you’re in Hamra.
9. Better yet, when the car in front of you leaves their parking spot so now you can park in their place
Whoever you are, hope you have an AMAZING day.

10. When the power was supposed to cut but it doesn’t.
A surprise extra hour of kahrabet dawle at 1 AM?

12. When you order delivery and the food arrives in under 40 minutes.
The excitement when the delivery guy calls you to confirm your location earlier than you expected.
13. When you’re having the cheesiest knefeh for breakfast.
Knefeh hits no matter what time you enjoy it, but for breakfast? Otherworldly.
14. When you’re at a wedding and no one tells you 3a2belik/3a2belak.
And let’s keep it that way…

15. When it’s the end of the month and you haven’t exceeded your internet consumption limit.
2GB to spare 👍
16. When Lebanese people obey a traffic light that’s actually on for once
Everyone gets so excited that it’s working that they decide to obey traffic laws.

17. When you leave your house looking like shit but don’t run into anyone you know.
Especially when you’re in the “nezel tek l disjoncteur” outfit
18. When you make it to a party just in time for free entrance.

19. When Zara goes on sale and you actually find something nice to buy.
A $10 top that’s NOT bursting at the seams and covered in make up? Big W.
