You want to wash that off. I’ve been on the 22 plenty. That story sounds like it happened on the 30. And my story?

Well, I was that guy on the T whose 2-year-old threw up all over him on a hot sunny day in spring 2010. It was amazing: the crowd parted and I got off. Not a drop of toddler spew on anyone but me. And I got to walk up the hill wearing it in the hot sun.

I almost fall off my bike when I see him.

It’s not so bad as any of yours as I was able to instantly disembark – the bus had *just* pulled into a stop.

Isn’t bonding fun!?

The live chicken story – that’s the best one.

there is a guy who rides into san francisco every weekday morning on the BART richmond line. he clearly has some type of terrible skin condition that is eating his face. i’m pretty sure it’s squamous cell carcinoma… huge, bloody, black-crusted ulcerations surrounded by tumors. i have been tempted to follow him from his SF stop to see where he works, because i am shocked that whoever employs him (i presume he works because i see him every day on the same train) does not make him cover his oozing face.

here’s the clincher, though. he picks at his face and eats the scabs. it’s just horrible. those of us who see him daily are used to it and choose seats facing away from him, or we tune out. occasionally, there will be an innocent passenger who sees him, then gasps, screams, or gags, and leaves to another car.

awful, awful, awful. i can’t help but feel bad for him, though… much worse than i do for the moron toenail clippers and booger-wipers.

i was riding the 22 when an older chinese lady was about to board the bus with a live chicken.
the drive mentioned something about live animals not allowed on the bus.
the old woman then proceeded to break the chicken’s neck effectively killing it.
she got on board with the dead chicken under her arm.

(I’m assuming this was long ago and probably the last sensible decision MUNI has made.) BART, on the other hand has those “blue” cloth, fecal-infested seats that has gotten some publicity lately.

ps, a lady threw up on both my legs on the 19-polk. Eww.

There’s a dude who aggressively flosses for the entire ride from Montgomery to Inner Richmond, and you KNOW that shit is flying off the floss into people’s personal bubbles. people are just plain f**king disgusting.

Report here: http://www.npr.org/2011/04/19/133240892/see-imagine-bugs-an-entomologist-is-a-letter-away

Maybe the MUNI is only imaginarily disgusting.
