Pissing on Muni

An empty Muni bus with a crowd on the sidewalk is never a good sign, particularly when it's flanked by paramedic trucks from the Fire Department.



"What did you do this time?" I asked an acquaintance who was part of the crowd at the corner of Van Ness and McAllister on Wednesday afternoon.



"I didn't do anything. There was an old man in the front of the bus who stood up, pulled out his willie, and started pissing all over the bus and the people on it."



Tourists were taking photos of the paramedics who were carrying the probable old drunk off the bus onto an upright stretcher.



Other passengers (above right) were pointing out items belonging to the pisser that had fallen out of a bag onto the sidewalk, which seemed awfully civilized of them.



Paramedics, who I believe are paid quite a bit less than their police and fire counterparts, always strike me as the coolest, calmest, level-headed public safety workers of San Francisco.
