Last night, I was chatting with my friend Tim about Thanksgiving dinner menus and this woman stepped between us. Was she inserting herself to make us shut up? (Perhaps she was offended by my anti-turkey stance?)
I said, "You can stand here." And I gestured toward the spot to my right.
She looked at me blankly, but I'm certain that she understood the situation.
"You should stand here so I can stand next to my friend," I said.
Reluctantly, she moved.
Tim cracked up. "I can't believe you," he said.
"Clearly you're from California," I said.
So today my friend Jen was telling me about people holding hands on N Judah this morning. They were positioned so that they blocked the door. For other passengers to enter or exit, they had to say "excuse me" to the hand holders. The N Judah must carry only Californians. Try that in NY and you're going to get your ass kicked.
Sometimes I miss the east coast. Then it snows and I don't. Also, Muni is way cheaper than NY or Boston.
Today's Stats:
Wait time: 1 minute
Ride time: 15 minutes
Muni Reading: New Yorker, again. Fiction by Roddy Doyle. It kind of bored me.
Irritation level: Very low. I was riding the J Church because I got my teeth cleaned in Noe Valley this morning. I love riding past Dolores Park.
