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?


LMAO!
LOL I miss public transport! Nothing but cabs out here in the sticks hehe I love those two men haha
that was one interesting ride! but i think the headress ranks highest on the weirdness scale.
gaah i also see a lot of couple 1’s around here. medyo nakaka-jirita jackson talaga. boy, the people in your commute’s way interesting than mine!
Whoa - what a ride for sure!!!!
At least it breaks the monotomy of commuting. Those are really weird people
It’s more fun to observe on the bus than to watch TV…there’s more suspension of disbelief on the bus hahaha
