Not your normal ride

Bryant and 16th St. - Potrero Center:

I’ve just gotten a seat on the 33 bus going home. In go Hispanic couple: woman in 20s, tight jeans, the largest stomach I’ve seen on a nonpregnant woman this year, tight shirt that goes halfway down her stomach. man also in his 20s, wearing jeans and a ratty tshirt, with…a handtowel…tied around his forehead (karate kid de mexico).

Anyway, the thing is…they start kissing passionately 2 rows in front of me. And while they kiss with closed eyes, the lady’s leg is slung over the man’s thigh…and he alternately squeezes her thigh/ass and her stomach.

18th and Castro:

People get on the bus. 2 men end up sitting in front of kissing couple. 2 men give disgusted look at couple and stare at them (waiting for them to get embarassed and stop? that was what i was thinking)…anyway, didn’t work. Kissing lipid couple keep kissing. Soooo…cant beat them? Join them.

2 men start kissing in front of kissing couple. Kissing couple stops. gapes. stops for good.

Haight St:

Both couples get off bus. Salamat. 2 “Hipsters” get on and sit a few rows behind me. We’re only a few people on the bus now…

Hipboy: Wow, this is the first time we’re riding the bus together…

Hipgirl: Wow…cool…

Hipboy and Hipgirl sound like they’re in the kilig or maybe getting to know you stage…inane conversation continues…until

Hipgirl: Hey you know that girl with long hair?

Hipboy: The skinny one?

Hipgirl: Yeah!!!

Hipboy: (sneeringly) She’s a piece of SHIT!

Hipgirl: (shocked/indignant) Shes my SISTER!!!

Silence so golden…

Hipboy: Well, she’s ok I mean…

Arguello:

Finally off that bizarre 33 bus. Now I’m waiting for the 31 bus. Good old boring 31 on its Richmond route.

31 arrives. I get on. Didn’t wait too long, good.

Would you believe there was a large man in a wheelchair dressed as a pharoah? Complete with that gold and black headdress?

Pharoahs hat
