Most of the bus stops in San Francisco have been undergoing a change lately, transitioning to e-billboards and a more earth-friendly architecture.  That’s great, but there are still many that utilize the same old poster advertising system. While I find it hilarious that there’s an ad for J. Crew clothing company on the corner of Eddy and Polk (in the heart of the Tenderloin), the one of Jacob from Twilight gracing the more people-friendly area of Polk (around Russian Hill) makes sense.

I also feel the need to state that the one on the corner of Eddy and Polk which is filled with the ‘dregs of society’, stayed pristine (which is more than I can say for the sidewalk by that bus stop).

Both J. Crew and Twilight got positively graffiti’d within the time span of 24 hours with ‘fag’ ‘sucks cock’ ‘Polk —-> Castro’, and basically a bunch of dicks in or around the vicinity of Taylor Lautner’s orifices.  For those of you who aren’t aware, Russian Hill is an upscale neighborhood.  The Tenderloin, is not.

Funny enough, most of the J. Crew ads got switched out with the iPad 2 recently.  All have stayed clean.  Makes sense.  Bros AND hos (literally) love Apple products.

This old dude almost sits on my lap as he takes a seat next to me. Not 5 minutes later he slightly raises his checks and proceeds to cut the cheese.

It’s a good thing your bag managed to get a seat before any of these mere humans could get their grubby hands on it.

A few years ago I was riding the second car of an N Judah train out of downtown. The second car does not have a driver only the first. There were only five people on board and the first station we came to the doors did not open. The second station we came to the doors did not open again. A woman started getting excited “we’re trapped, we’ll never get out and I have to go to work”. So the third station that the doors did not open I reached up and pulled the red emergency lever above the doors. All of us exited. I went up to the driver and said the doors did not open on the second car. He rudely said “that car is out of service, don’t get on it”. I wondered how one would know if the signs on the car and the overhead signs indicate a destination and the doors opened. I would have explained that I pulled the red lever and he would have to go back and reset the doors but since he was so rude, I just sat down. After several minutes of opening and closing the doors he figured it out. I just smiled, you get nothing extra from me because of your rudeness.

This girl was hiding the fact that she was clipping her nails, yet the sound echoed around the car. She then tucked the clippings under the seat.

Hobo Vs. Hipster #3

On the M outbound to school yesterday, a normal-appearing man started making bovine noises. It would’ve been annoying, but this was a savant of cow sounds, a true artist. I’ve never heard a human impersonate a cow that effectively before.

Today on bart someone was using a pen as a toothpick. It was me.

Today on muni I was taking the 71, and it was packed with people. There was a lady asking the all the elderly people if they wanted to sit down. It would have been very sweet if she had a seat to give, but she herself was standing. I wonder who she planned to kick out if one of them had actually said yes!
