A Day in the Life...: Through the Presido We Go...What We'll See, Nobody Knows

Another trip to the Golden Gate Bridge started out with a more than amusing bus ride through the beautiful Presidio district (lots of trees and open space). This little old lady boarded the bus behind us and sat down next to Jen and Barrett. This little old lady seemed like she was dipping into the mary jane or something because she was definitely not living in the same realm. The bus stopped to pick up some passengers and the driver got into an "argument" with a woman who was trying to board with a stroller. He told her that she needed to fold the stroller up and she argued with him, saying that she has never had to before and that she didn't know how. After about a minute of back and forth and her becoming progressively more angry and saying "Fine, I guess I'll walk then!", the driver goes "Mame, just take five minutes to figure out how to fold it and then hop on the next bus that is coming then. I'm sorry, it's policy." Immediately after he drove away, this little old lady sitting next to Jen stands up and goes in an unusually high pitched voice "Oh, driver! You handled that wonderfully!" She began clapping and then the entire senior citizen section of the bus joined in, with this one woman shouting in her high pitch "Yay for MUNI!" (MUNI is what the SF bus system is called. It's short for Municipal Transport). It was like the end of Speed or something. Barrett, Jen and I all gave each other a look and then averted our eyes from one another to keep from laughing.
After the seniors had concluded their praise of the driver, high pitched voice lady stands up again, grabbing Jen's arm and shouting out the window at a car that was at the stop light next to us. Apparently there were several dogs in the back seat, so she found in necessary to inform us by yelling "Puppies! Oh, look at the puppies!" Jen acknowledged politely that she had seen, but honestly didn't quite know what to do.
Right before exiting the bus, the same woman began yelling at the woman who was sitting next to me about her talking on the phone too loudly. Ironic, since she was the one yelling.
Well, we eventually made it to the bridge and enjoyed the warm sunshine and actually ended up walking all the way across.

Meghan and I were excited. haha
