What's the stupidest thing anybody has said to you?

This happens fairly often, and i'm like "is it so hard for you to extrapolate that since YOU'RE sitting on a seat, that probably someone ELSE will eventually sit on the seat you have your feet on? Do YOU like to sit in places where the bottom of people's shoes have been?" oh, then, get this. He takes out one of those tiny bottles of liquor (he didn't appear bum-ish or anything, before that, just regular, uh...) and he drinks it, then, just drops the bottle on floor!!! then takes out another one, but got off the train. I'm like, dude, you just did 2 things that make me so mad in the space of about five minutes. First, he litters on the seat with his feet, then litters on the ground. Even though his pocket was right there, he coulda just put the bottle back in and waited the 2 minutes till he got off the train and found a garbage geesh! WTF? God, i love the city!

I have no tolerance for littering - there's no reason for it...

So yeah - I'm gonna jump on my soapbox now...

I hate when people flick their nasty ciggie butts out their car windows (sorry - if there are Ledgies here who do that - if there are and you do that and are reading this - stopping flicking your butts out the window )

Seriously- isn't this what an ashtray is for?? Ashtray's can then be emptied into an appropriate trash recepticle....

Pretty much I hate it when anyone throws anything litter-like out their car window - it reminds me of this old commercial I only saw once - with Bette Midler where like some guy throws a bottle out his car window -then Bette says something like, "If I see you doing this I will hunt you down and kill you..." or something - again I only saw it once and it was long ago - so if someone else remembers that pipe up

Lets see....what also pisses me off is seeing diapers in parking lots...gross.

Seriously - it's your own kid's crappy diaper - keep it with you til you can toss it properly or walk your ass a few feet to a trash can!!! I don't get that - we had to change my nehpew once or twice in parking lots - but NEVER left his old diapers on the ground...just gross...

Um....anyway ...I shall now step down from my soapbox....

Isn't it just great when a kid drops some litter (candy bar etc) and the parent just looks down as its dropped then walks on as though its the normal thing to do.

Cigarette butts on the ground as well wind me up, mostly I'm amazed at the amount of gum on the sidewalks.

While we are on about things in public that irritate. Emergency procedure information on trains, and the tube here in the UK. Why do people feel the need to try and peel the edges? I never read them but you have to be rather odd to decide to stand there and peel them.

Be sure if you have time to check out the Zuni Cafe (1658 Market Street) and have the Sea Bass or the Half Roasted Chicken, which is TO DIE FOR!!!!! Also, if you are into bars, the No Name Bar in Sausalito (757
Bridgeway) is a GREAT place!!!!!! Have a great time

Oh i am familiar with san fran... and i AM looking for some good seafood tomorrow .... i've been to the no name bar with livia... we have some fun little videos of us drinking on their back patio (you know, california... no smoking anywhere under a roof.... so us sinners/ air polluters have to sit outside) we had fun that day finding the record plant

Be careful with the seafood. The ladies in Marin have a way higher cancer rate than national or state average, (that's not a random accident, folks!) and there are a couple oil refineries pretty local Also, there are quite a few sunken ships off of our coast. Some are leaking oil. Isn't it great that we've poisoned our own food so much that we really shouldn't eat it ?
ha, i would have seafood, too ....hope you have a great time!

I totally forgot you guys went. I gave Livia the same suggestions I LOVE the No Name. I was there one time when a guy I believe was a VERY wasted Bob Dillon drove his Harley through the front door - parked it - and started drinking at the bar

And - yes, we used to have to go outside to smoke our pot at the no name - now its the cigs cuz I have not smoked pot since like 1988 or thereabouts

Have a GREAT time!!!!!!!!!
