More Inappropriate Behavior
Oh San Francisco, you never cease to shock and disgust and slightly titillate. As I was having a run the other day I decided to make it more interesting and ran up the hill to Franklin Park down on Potrero and 16th. As I rounded the chain link fence separating the playground and swings from the rest of the park I spotted an overloaded shopping cart. Near it was an homeless person bundled up and sleeping on the grass. As I mused over the homeless problem, I noticed another figure huddled in the grass a little further along. As I got closer, I realized it was two people, and as I drew level I realized that it was a girl with her shirt half off astride a guy, with a coat covering their mid-sections as they did their best to form the beast with two backs. In the bright daylight, not 50ft from a playground with kids on the swings and the seesaws.
Boy howdy, no matter how many times it happens, it never ceases to shock me. I certainly never know how to react in situations like that. I mean, what do you say? "Excuse me, Sir, Ma'am, but you can't do that." Yeah, it sounds stupid to me too. So I did all I could do which is to trot home and try to put it behind me (unsuccessfully). More tales of life in the city, I guess.
