Justin recently arrived in SF. Welcome, Justin. Take it away!
I just moved to San Francisco, and last week rode on Muni for the very first time.  Super crowded on the 45-Union/Stockton headed to AT&T Park, and when the seats next to me freed up at the first stop, two girls sat down and continued their conversation.  At first I tried minding my own business, but I haven’t yet mastered the art of blocking out the Muni noise, so I eavesdropped.  And this was the first thing I heard:
GIRL 1:  Crap, you know what?  I don’t think I have any more pills.
GIRL 2:  Really?  I thought Chris still had some from the knee thing?
GIRL 1:  Nooo, those are long gone.  I’m talking about from what Julie had left.
GIRL 2:  Oh!  Did I tell you what me made Jeff do last month?  We were at (some bar I don’t remember the name of) and decided we needed some Vicodin.  Nobody had any so we convinced Jeff to go to the ER and get some.
GIRL 1:  Shut. the Fuck.  Up.  Did it work?
GIRL 2:  Yeah we just told him to make something up, so we found a clinic within walking distance and he walked in and put “Gout” on the form they handed him.  Voila!  Vics.
GIRL 1:  Huh.  (thinks for a second) What’s gout?
GIRL 2:  Um, I actually don’t know.
I had to hide my screen as I was tweeting this, that’s how close the quarters were that day.  I guess they just didn’t care who heard.
Thanks for sharing, Justin. Now, dear reader, it’s your turn to share your Muni story.
