People collect things. It’s one of the things people do. It’s fun, and sometimes borders on sickness.
Grace collects things she overhears in San Francisco. She alerted us to the special room in her house of overheards: Overheard on Muni. Naturally, we bought in.

Jesus, you guys. This happened last night, according to SF Appeal:
“A Muni bus driver was stabbed in the leg by a passenger in San Francisco’s Tenderloin neighborhood on Wednesday evening, a police spokesman said today.
“The stabbing was reported at 7:08 p.m. near Eddy and Taylor streets, where the driver had pulled over his 31-Balboa bus after a passenger said someone on board had a knife, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.”

Via Muni rider Porfirio: “Puppies riding free on #sfmuni, but too cute to care.”
Yep, it’s another mattress on Muni. The most remarkable thing here to me is that dude seems to be alone. You know, carting a mattress around San Francisco, alone.
