Today on the way home I rode through a local bus transit center. I normally do. It's a shortcut between two streets. Usually I enter where the buses do and exit where the buses do. Today I decided to try where the cars enter to drop off and pick up. I was hoping for a little less of a bump entering the station.

There's a large covered area in there, with benches and translucent glass block dividers. It's actually kind of nice - for a bus stop.

As I rode by, I looked over and saw a woman bent over with her shorts around her knees shooting a jet of urine off behind her.



My first thought was "Wut?"

Second: "I sure am glad I didn't ride through the way I normally do. I'd be seein' a whole lot more of her than I'd care to."

Third: "People can be such pigs." Mind you, I understand when ya gotta go, ya gotta go, but there were some more secluded spots in the immediate area she could have found.

Fourth: "There's an ad for riding the bus!"

That got me thinking.....

What kind of weird stuff have you seen on your commutes?

I saw someone poopin' on the street on one block and another person smoking crack on the next ... on the same ride here in SF in the Tenderloin.

You met my Grandma!

The fountain at UN Plaza in San Francisco was closed for a while because it turned into a giant public toilet.

Also it is common for the streets of San Francisco flow with rivers of urine during Bay to Breakers event.

City employees go around spraying disinfectant on Sixth Street in San Francisco because that street is a big toilet also.

No babbling naked drunk dude walking around?

Happens all the time. Right?

Not common in the USofA. I saw this often while living in Russia though.

When I first moved up to WI and started commuting between Superior and Duluth, I was on my way home one bright and sunny day. On the way to the cycling path out of downtown, I happened to come across a "gentleman" who decided to play with himself under a tree. was going at it hard too. >.<

I've seen several people having loud conversations with nobody lately. Last week I passed a large woman standing right on the edge of the curb giving a speech of some sort to the passing traffic. Other than that, nothing too out of the ordinary.

I once saw a VERY disappointed John dropping off a tranny hooker out in the middle of nowhere.

Maybe if we had public toilets we wouldn't see people peeing on the streets.

I saw a very nice looking young woman do that alongside a trail while backpacking in Colorado one time. She must have thought she was in a secluded area behind a bush or something, but she was in plain sight and quite surprised when three of us came hiking by.

Two weeks ago, when it was in the low 70s in the afternoons, I was making an extra loop through a neighborhood on the way to the train station. I rode past a sloping, south facing, brick paver driveway. Spread eagle in the middle catching a few rays, face down, was a young teenaged girl in a bikini. I almost posted her to iNaturalist as a roadkill but couldn't come up with the proper scientific name.

I see this every day. Always an adventure...

My buddy saw a guy taking a poop on the sidewalk, and he's still scarred, emotionally.

2 or 3 years ago I saw a fairly large 40-ish dude wearing the full-on Dorothy from Wizard of Oz kit complete with ruby red slippers out for a stroll on the Capital Crescent Trail. Early AM on a pleasant fall day, but nowhere near close enough to Halloween. Even if you accept a reason for being in that get up, why there? It is a puzzlement.

LOL, oh never mind....

Number one reason to use fenders, that puddle on the road may not be water.

Used to see one guy on the bus dressed like a respectable lady: skirt, blouse, heels, makeup, etc. Didn't seem like a weirdo, just...different.

I've seen my share of public urination/defecation in several states. The most recent was a homeless woman just off a trail. We surprised her when we rode by. It's probably rare for traffic of any kind on that trail, so she thought she wouldn't be spotted.

Off on a trail, behind a tree or something - I can understand that. When ya gotta go, ya gotta go.

But the woman I saw was bent over @ 6:00 p.m. at a well used transit center. There are always people there waiting for a bus. That stop services three popular runs and one not-so-popular run.

She couldn't have been more public if it was noon in front of the county courthouse and she was screaming "Look at the distance I get!!!! Look!!!!! How's that for distance!!!!???!!!???"

Sounds like she takes pissing contests seriously.

Are you sure she wasn't one of those new weather vain fountains? lol

Maybe there was someone else secretly filming for one of those crazy fetish websites

There are a few apartment and townhome complexes along the Sammamish River Trail. Some people don't realize or don't care that during the wee hours of the morning when it is dark outside and your apartment lights are on, people along the path can see inside if you don't keep the shades drawn.

There are a LOT of people who wake up and go about their normal morning without clothes. Cooking breakfast, watching the morning news, making coffee. I've seen a naked couple doing their morning workout routine to some fitness video. My all time favourite, though, was the woman in her underpants (bottoms only) and slippers, sitting on the stairs off her porch, drinking a cup of coffee and smoking a cigarette, waving and saying "good morning" to all the cyclists riding past.
I rode past, then sprinted up to catch the person 50 yards or so ahead, just to ask "Did we really just see that?"

Is that a euphemism for something else? lol

A year or so ago, in a kinda run down area, while approaching a busy 4 way intersection, on a raised front deck, about 4 ft above the road and sidewalk, were 2 very fine looking women in minimalist white bikinis, leaned way over talking to an elderly street lady pushing a grocery cart on hte sidewalk. Just sooo out of place and bizarre. I am lucky to be alive, I was not watching where I was going, and no one else was either.
