On Location: 16th Street Mall

This bus has no air conditioning. It's really hot and full of people so one guy decided to try and open the emergency exit in the roof to cool everyone off. Then this loud voice sounds through the overhead speaker: "get out of there and sit down, please!"

Train Ride

On a train. A very hairy man is in front of me. On my left is a man who looks like a woman. In the car in front of me, two guys are wearing matching flannel shirts.
On a different train, across from a very fat man in very short shorts. In front of him, a man is holding a freakishly happy baby who keeps clapping his hands.
Two loud girls took the place of guy and baby.
The louder of the two said, "want to hear my best idea ever?" Sadly, she received a text message after that, and I never found out what her idea was.
Now they're mirroring each other, moving their hands around.

So I'm on the 140 with my sister, the-red-headed-swimmer. We are heading home after getting hair cuts and she really likes hers so she tells me, "pretty people shouldn't have to ride the bus! The bus is for old people and all their suitcases!"
The guy in front of me with an ear split in two keeps blowing up a red balloon and then letting it fly around. I hope none of his saliva spitting out of it lands on me.

Interesting Dude

The other day when I was on the 140, I met a really crazy person. He started out telling me about this perfect alternative energy machine that he made and how he wasn't going to show it to the public because he didn't want anyone to kill him in his sleep. I asked him, "How does it run?" He just said "HA!" After that, he started telling me all about his music and how it comes to him. "I close my eyes, and I'm in a theatre, and then I look up at the stage, and I'm on stage, playing and singing, and I write it all down and there is my song." He then went on to tell me about all the police officers he had met that told him he should become a cop. He showed me all the different business cards. "They all say I should be a cop! What do you think o' that?"
On the 140. The old guy in a wheelchair up front is talking about the new fancy wheelchair he's going to buy. "With headlights, blinkers, and gears!"
On the 766 across from a guy with a homemade cigarette full of who knows what behind his ear. Someone just left their year pass on their seat. Sad day for them but the guy who picked it up was pretty happy. A girl a few seats down is eating something hot pink out of a ramen cup. I don't think it tastes too good because she takes a big gulp of tea between every bite. The guy who found the bus pass just traded it for something he is now rolling up in cigarette paper.

Next to someone on the 5 talking about his druggie roommate. "He just kept taking them. Then I wondered what I should do, cause what if he died at my house?"
Waiting for the 790 while chatting with a guy wearing an eyepatch. He's telling me about how much he wants a helicopter.
On the 790 next to a guy with two lip piercings, two nose piercings and two eyebrow piercings. He is very symmetrical.
