Things weren’t looking so hot for the driver of this #5 Fulton MUNI bus at this scene a while back, ’cause even the City-employed investigator was basically admitting that the pilot of the black Nissan sedan wasn’t at fault.
When pulling into traffic, you need to look first – that rule applies to people pulling buses out of bus stops as well you and me.
(Some MUNI drivers don’t pull into bus stops for this very reason. Oh well.)
When you crash into a city bus make sure you file notice of your claim within the next six months (otherwise your claim might go poof)
Let’s be careful out there.

Whether or not you get a ticket for parking the rear of your Mercedesin traffic on Gough Street, you probably shouldn’t do it anyway.
Did the driver even try here?

Doesn’t look that way.

We’re living in a society here, people. So even though the Man gives allows you a foot and a half spacing from your tires to the curb, you can do better than that. Check out this Mercedes SUV – see how far it is from the curb? Why not use one of the many San Francisco Examiner newspapers that some billionaire from Colorado has seen fit to have strewn about the place?
If a ‘Xam can fit betwixt the curb and your wheel, then you gots to try again. Two Xams away is way too much. PARKING FAIL. Bikes belong in traffic, as they say - you want to make things easier for everybody else, right? With practice, you should be able to get it down to a quarter Xam or less.

Lots of room for improvement here on Fell Street. (In mitigation, the Mercedes ML driver did manage to retract the outside rear view mirrors. Ten points for Gryffindor.)
If you can’t handle this simple task, maybe you shouldn’t be driving.
Just saying.

The most popular pastime for MUNI riders on the weekends on the Streets of San Francisco is standing in traffic next to the bus stop and gazing up the street with a 1000-yard stare where-the-hell-is-it.
“The thousand-yard stare is the unfocused gaze of a battle-weary soldier. The stare is a characteristic combat stress reaction which is related to post-traumatic stress disorder.”
That’s got to be number one. But number two, with a bullet, is knitting!

In through the front door
Around the back
Out through the window
And off jumps jack.

Here’s a colorful building in the Western Addition / NOPA area of San Francisco. It’s not really a church, the cross is just a telephone pole. The colours are sort of red, green and yellow, anyway.

It makes a nice complement to this nearby building.
Keep on painting, San Francisco!
[UPDATE] Some have noted that these colors aren’t actually primaries. A quick consultation with Channel One’s Sir Mix A Lot-esque Technicolor EP from 1986 confirms that techni-red, techni-blue and techni-green would be more apopro-priate.
Artist’s conception:
Finally, we have the true Church of Primary Colors. The one shown at the top is is merely a church of secondary or tertiary colors at best. So, that’s all cleared up now.
It’s in your house/
at the show/
every place that you go/
Technicolor is here, Technicolor is clear
