I think she thought I was a terrorist since I have dark hair and eyes. Laughingly I told her I WAS a terrorist and that she was a nazi with her lack of hair and attitude." It's not clear from that whether she actually called you a terrorist or not -- thanks for the clarification. Also, I understand being pissed off. However, calling someone a Nazi for commenting on your appearance trivializes the murder of six million people. When criticizing other people's language, please consider your own.

She thinks that she is an officer of the law. I sat next to someone she was giving a ticket to and she told the woman that if she did not sign it, she would call the police and they would make her sign or put her in jail. When you see and hear her in action you can tell there is some type of inbalance there. I haven't seen any inspectors in the Metro lately either. I saw one one the 14 yesterday so I asked him where have they been? He told me that there are only 35 working because many are on Worker's Comp and that their schedules have changed. He also said that there are only 8 inspectors throughout the city from 6 AM until Noon. Six hours of "Free Rides." WOW! Wow, I just read this and I have seen her in action before.

The fare inspector TOLD me I was a terrorist. I simply made fun of this crazy woman. If the fare inspectors are insane, what should we do about it? Humor them? I didn’t say I was a terrorist.

It's like saying "bomb" on a plane, in a laughing matter.

I called the contact officer who originally took my report several times but nothing ever happened. I don't think MUNI does much of anything about employee misconduct. The MUNI unions are too powerful. Even though I'm pro-union, I feel SF municipal unions are corrupt and need to be controlled by the mayor and the Board of Supervisors.

If they act as thugs, which many do, then they need to take the consequences. I feel no respect for them.

Are they somehow superior life forms? Why should we respect them if they don't respect us? Should we be frightened that they will pull out their gun and kill us because we find their activity disgusting and tell them so? I will not cower to these fools.

She came up to help her fellow fare inspector on the N Judah with a difficult drunk guy who apparently "misplaced" his pass. Buzz-cut walked up when she realized her coworker had a "rebel" on her hands, and at first I thought it was a guy. Then I realized it was her! She blocked the way of the drunk guy trying to escape his fare evasion until he shoved past her and she had to radio to the other fare inspectors that they had a "code 387" (or whatever code is for difficult fare evading drunk guys). I would like to think that they got the guy and made him pay, but he probably just pushed past the inspectors, if any, at the top of the stairs. Perhaps I too could avoiding $55 per month if I just acted drunk every morning on the way to work. I'm pretty sure they have no right to lay a hand on anyone, so I could just walk by them mumbling drunk obscenities and be on my way! I finally saw her yesterday morning!
