Got on BART and went to sit down in a row of empty seats. As soon as I stopped in the aisle, every passenger nearby shouted “NO!!!”
Turns out there’s a used syringe poking out of the cushions. Passengers are alerting each other about it, and I just reported it to @SF311.
Sigh.
I experienced the same thing once when I reported obstruction on a highway and was given opaque directions to contact CalTrans. Each one such interaction feels like losing a hundred future issues people won’t even bother reporting because of the hassle.
