43 Twitter Accounts Everyone In San Francisco Should Be Following

    Because actually working is overrated.

    1. AT&T Park Seagull

    50 Shades of Garlic Fries. Yes, we have an inappropriate relationship with garlic fries. If that's wrong... we don't want to be right.

    The seagulls always show up towards the end of a Giants games, and watching for them can bring excitement to a slow and/or boring game. They have their own Twitter account, where they — naturally — make a lot of jokes about bread.

    2. Diamonds of the 30X

    Re-reading @FiftyShades Should have used my kindle... #diamondsofthe30x

    3. Karl the Fog

    Goodnight San Francisco. Stay weird, stay different.

    Karl's pretty much a local celebrity in San Francisco. We like seeing Karl's hilarious tweets, but love it when he spends the weekend out-of-town.
