oh MUNI!

so this post is kind of love/hate/amused post.

so last night i get on the M to come to work, its about 11:15. now, i get on at castro, which is the last/first stop because they are doing "improvements" or whatever, and the car is supposed to be empty because they make everyone get off. not last night, there are these two guys passed OUT in two seats. and i mean out cold. one guy is laying on his back, sprawled out, one shoe on his chest and the other guy is sitting up but leaning back. so we all get on and are laughing at them. i mean, its got to be bad if the muni guy cant wake you up to get you off the train.
at forest hill, this guy gets on. he starts yelling about the lying hippies on haight and how they did/ tried to steal his/ his mom's ipod. he told the story 4 times, once to each part of the train, and each time his story changed. the most disturbing part of all of it is how he talked about how he beat up the stealing hippy. first it just started as beating but his last story included a 10-minute face stomping. scaaaaaaaaaary. and dude is SCREAMING and very obviously drunk. personally i have never encountered the stealing hippies... but you never know what might happen. so he gets off at west portal, still yelling about the lying cheating hippies and the muni guy actually stops and gets out of his little room and walks through the car letting us know hes stopped so muni police can come and pull of the passed out guys. by the time they show up, it takes them like 10 minutes to pull them off the train. i mean these guys dont want to move. apparently they had been on there for 2 hours already. woah. the one guy was holding onto a pole for dear life after he finally stood up. i have no idea what they had drank/ what they were on, but it was a bit too much. when the muni police got the first guy off the train the first thing he did was pass out on the bench. it was totally hardcore. a girl got it all on video with her phone. im kind of hoping it shows up on youtube eventually. if so, i will edit and post a link because its kind of hard to even believe it actually happened and that i witnessed it.

the love part of this post was the muni driver. he was great and wasnt angry about anything. he apologized if any of us were going to work, but i told him that i was pretty sure everyone here wouldnt mind that i was late because two dudes had passed out on the muni. i actually got here fairly early anyway.

thus my entertaining muni ride. i was mostly amused. not with the hippie hater though, he was kind of frightening and annoying and i wanted to talk back to him, but i figured that would just make things worse.

what i actually hate at this moment? i have a half hour left of work. an hour and a half before i can sleep. im so freaking tired.
