Unused (?) condom on the 47
That’s right, folks. Mere inches from my brand-new haircut.
The 47 and 49 (both Van Ness lines, for those of you following along at home) really need to fight it out for the “And I thought I had seen it all…” crown. I personally go back and forth on the question of which I’d rather be on, though yesterday, I would have gladly eaten my lunch off a 49 (ok, ew, not really) considering what I was faced with on this 47.
First, a harmless man singing/yelling to the songs in his head and smelling 10 times worse than a portable toilet got on and sat in the back. Fine. It’s a freakin’ 47, after all. But that resulted in at least 10 people getting up and cramming themselves around the middle of the bus, since no one wanted to be back there with him. This results in a briefcase in my ass, an iPhone in my side, and a front-row seat to the freakishly large condom hanging by the back door.
Condom-leaver: next time, maybe don’t go with the magnums unless you’re absolutely sure you can fit in them, all right?

Aaaaack! I don’t understand why, people. What is the situation here that necessitates someone to leave a condom on the bus?! However, this just gave me a brilliant idea for the next Riders with Drinks. Stay tuned…

Are you sure it’s unused? Looks like there’s stuff in it.

plug1: Nope, it was draped over the rail right by the back door.
Oh, and bmtea, it may be the angle of the pic; in person, it didn’t seem like there was anything in it. But maybe it was my lucky day to come (pun intended) face-to-face with a used one.

Ew. Eeeeew. I love you for taking a picture of it though, Tara. And you are ever the optimist about it being “unused”!

I did! It’s just shorter and with the same bangs I got last time I cut my hairs. It might have been all ugly though, when you came over.

um, that right there is a used condom. sorry. if you take a condom out of the package, it NEVER looks all baggy and stretched out like that.
wow.

hard to tell from the photo, but is there “fluid” in the reservoir there, Tara? that would certainly tell the tale. otherwise, it could just be a condom taken out of its package (heh) and undone. you know, cuz that makes, like, so much effin sense.

My tip-off (Haha!) was that there wasn’t any fluid in the reservoir, and the, um, outside of it didn’t look wet either.
Jury’s still out on whether it was used, I think, seeing as how 1) it’s enormous, 2) you fiddle with a condom long enough (par for the course on a 49 prone to jackasses) and it’ll definitely get gross.
