San Francisco can be surprisingly gross. At first glance, the city is a glittery peninsula filled with a notoriously health and planet-conscious population surrounded by fresh blue water. Look a little closer and we're a town that's oddly permissive of some generally disgusting behaviors. We all do 'em, and we rarely think about just how gross they are. Behold our list of the eleven things San Franciscans do that are actually downright gross:
1. Eat an entire meal on Muni and/or BART.
2. Walk around Dolores Park's poop-covered grass while barefoot.
3. Keep stinky compost bins on the kitchen counter.
4. If it's yellow, let it mellow. If it's brown, flush it down. (We're not hating, just being honest.)
5. Prefer food from a truck.
6. Proudly go showerless for all of Burning Man.
7. Use the restrooms at the Westfield Center, which are open to the public of downtown San Francisco. Think about it.
8. Sit on those convenient but oh-so-dirty benches in Muni shelters.
9. Purchase marijuana from a stranger in Golden Gate Park. (It's legal now. Just head to a dispensary!)
10. Set food down beneath the vomit-stained bleachers at AT&T Park.
11. Lay out at Ocean Beach on a bed of hypodermic needles in the freezing fog.
