A warning would have been nice...

Dear Muni,
Why didn't you warn me that today was the day all of the people in SF who talk to invisible people would be riding the bus?  If I knew beforehand that I would be engulfed by this today, I would have taken a cab or better yet worked from home. Although most of the 30-minute commute was traumatizing and depressing, I must admit I did learn I a lot.

I learned that one man wants to kill someone for stealing his hat.  I learned another man wanted to take a shower because he just got out of jail for not doing anything.  I also learned the same man who just got out of jail was currently "drunk and wasted" which was a big shocker to me!!  The last man I had the pleasure of "talking to" this morning was regurgitating the announcements on the bus in song as Darth Vader.  His rendition of "Please move to the rear of the bus." was my personal favorite. 

All in all, the most valuable lesson I learned today was that no matter how long I live in the city, I will never be 100% used to those that talk to their invisible friends/enemies.  But please...next time a warning would be nice.

LOL, this is hilarious...reason #1178 why I don't miss riding the B-U-S; crazy mo-fos.

Oh yes, you start to understand why everyone drives who can now...the freaks come out at night, pretty much every night, but especially hot nights in Melbourne and here in little old Footscray too....

That was hysterical. :) I used to run into some real characters when I took the bus in school.

I used to always run into this dude on the metro who had a lettuce on his head. He wore it like a hat. I assume he took the middle out to be able to wear it that way. Sometimes he had an apple stuck in the root-end with a toothpick.... He'd sing a bit, and was generally very friendly. Once a kid asked him why he had the lettuce on his head and he frowned and asked the kid where he kept his? - apparently he couldn't think of anywhere else to keep it...

Sounds fun. What day of the month does this occur? We could sell tickets and/or make a documentary.

I am hoping to move within walking distance of my company, so I don't have to deal with traffic and I only have to ride the bus if it's a tram at the zoo.

:)

Kudos to you for hanging in there.
