At some point in time I decided that I was going to start taking random pictures of things that struck me as funny, odd, or down right insane.
I’m not sure when…
Oh yes I do.
It was here…
When Burger King wanted me to PAY to pee. Wasn’t happening. I’ll hold it before I pay a quarter to use the facilities.
As I snapped the picture, because this was so foreign to me, I decided that I was going to start taking random pictures… just to take.
Lucky you, this is where they will end up.
So, here are all the things that I found fascinating while I was in San Francisco….
The ferry was extremely cold, but it didn’t seem to bother her…
One of my favorite things about San Francisco was the street performers. I could’ve gone broke if I paid then what their talent deserved because they were all just so darn talented… and adorable… like this gentleman, who posed for me and held the note as I snapped the picture…
I’ve always wondered what I should do with the drain rack and the pots and pans in the kitchen and now I know. I can set them all up in the middle of a big city and play them. Because honestly? That would be so much more fun than actually using them for what they were intended for.
While this gal was certainly interesting to look at, I’m not sure that she deserves any money for standing on the sidewalk completely still. Well, yes she should. I could never stand still for that long with all that crap on. She really did look like a robot.
And this guy? Sure, he looks like a statue. But might I offer some advice? Next time, don’t spray paint yourself where you’re going to stand…. it kinda gives it away.
And when I saw this? I stopped dead in my tracks because all 31 year old women get excited when they see pirate ships.. don’t they? They do when they are hopping Captain Jack Sparrow is aboard. Actually, I thought more of the ending scene of Goonies… and then I searched my pockets for rubies. But there weren’t any. I think that’s when I snapped back into reality.
Here is the perfect definition of a multi-tasker. He plays all this stuff at once. How?
and is this not the coolest Mickey D’s sign that you’ve ever seen? Seriously.. isn’t it?
And while we’re looking at signs… do you stop in the middle of busy city streets to get the perfect angle of a photo that you want to share on your blog?
I do.
Now, did I mention how cold it was in San Francisco while I was there? (Apparently, it’s warmed up this week.) Some people must not have checked the weather before venturing outside…
I’m thinking he asked what he should wear while riding a bike… and the person he asked was not aware that his bike was a MOTORCYCLE… and i think he has a fake tan. He’s awfully orange.
At least she’s smart and is wearing a hat… because you know that’s where all the heat escapes your body.
This is a tour… can you believe it? I was amazed. There’s a little tour guide up there talking into a helmet mic and then all these little people on wheels following her. I have never seen anything like it.
I would like to tell you that these people were ones that I met and spoke to but they aren’t. They are just two random people that I shutter stalked on the ferry on the way home. I would also like to tell you that they are just huddled together because it was so freaking cold and windy, but they are obviously very much in love….
Gag me.
And does it look like that ship will fit under the bridge? No. I didn’t think so. But apparently it did and it was just the angle that concerned us because I checked the news in San Fran after the conference and the Golden Gate is still intact.
Now, I’m going to warn you about this next (and last) picture. If you have small eyes peeking over your shoulder because my new design is so bright and colorful and your children can’t stop looking, make them not look now. Because it’s not exactly kid friendly but I was so in shock when I saw it that I couldn’t help but take a picture.
I was sitting on the floor at my gate at SFO. I was so tired. I was near tears. All I wanted to do was get on that plane so that I could go to sleep when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted something shiny; something sparkly.
From my floor view, I saw the gold heels first. As I looked up, I saw her cheeks and dimples.
And all I wanted to scream was “just because you can, doesn’t mean you should…” and I have to wonder if she knew that she was the talk of gate 82 at SFO that night…
Until next time…

Great photos! Pay toilets?? Wonder how many people don’t have the money to go, but can’t hold it? *shudder*
Hey, those wheelie things are called Segways – aren’t they so cool?! All the big cities are now doing Segway tours, Washington, DC included. I SO WANT to try one out!
Heathers last blog post..We Are On Our Own
You know what I LOVED about this post. It was like life as YOU see it – and we got to get inside your head and view life from your filter.
This is what I tried to do in New York….. but I thought of it too late and only wound up with a few photos….
Wasn’t it hard to snap those pictures inconspicuously??? Did anyone notice that you were photographing Goldie’s butt???
How did you do that??
OH MY GOSH……
This post cracks me up!!!!!!! Now you make me want to post pics about the funny things I see here in Texas! I like the pirate ship pic and GIRL the burger king bathroom charging thing kills me….you’ve got to be kidding?!?!? I can’t get over that!!!!!!! SAD!
Jeannies last blog post..6 Unspectacular Quirks Meme
Loved the pictures. Definitely found myself chuckling at some of them. As for the couple in love…gag me with a spoon!!!! Love sucks. Anyways…as for the last picture that’s just disgusting. I totally agree with you – just because you can DOES NOT mean you should. And she had to of known she was the ‘talk’ of the gate. Hello why else would you dress like that other than for attention?
Tishia Lees last blog post..I Change Themes As Often As I Do Underwear
I’ll have to admit, when I saw the title of this post in my feed reader, I was a little afraid to click over!
(And don’t worry about that last picture. Anna Marie saw PLENTY of that type of thing when we were in Biloxi, the night of the Usher concert.)
Great pics! What a neat idea to remember your trip. I’ve used a pay toilet before. You would think that because you have to pay, that it might actually be cleaner. Uh-uh, think again!
Heather @ Not a DIY Lifes last blog post..Update from the the Trenches of VBS
OMG I am cracking up! And I’m lifting that term “shutter stalked” so I what I do when I’m shooting random things like that will have a name. You really got some unexpected shots…and the commentary was priceless to match!
Christines last blog post..Things I learned this week, and it’s only Tuesday
LOVE the pictures! Thanks for sharing and reminding me not to take things for granted that I see on a regular basis. It’s funny how when you live in crazy town you stop noticing things… they all just blend in as normal. Or maybe there is just so much going on it gets overstimulating and my brain shuts down.
You forgot to mention the angry lady on the bus who yelled and told you not to take her photo. She was kind of scary. Maybe it is better to just not mention her.
Oh Heather…I SO needed these photos and your words regarding each and every one. I have laughed and laughed, and had to share them with my sweet love Susan. She laughed too. Thanks for brightening up our otherwise dreary day!
Lovish!

Soliloquy –
I just took it. I figured that if she was on display, which obviously she was, then I could take a picture…
Ok, so I didn’t… I pretended that I was just stretching and snapped it.
Christine…
I came up with “shutter stalked” all on my own. I don’t mind if you lift it… just make sure you share the pictures with me…
