Who Left This “Answer on a Stick” on Muni?
This “found” item could have been the beginning of an interesting short story, although I wouldn’t have wanted to handle this “answer on a stick” to find out which way the story goes. Muni rider Morgan sent us this photo and said:
I was riding the Muni #48 this morning when my sweetie pointed out this used, discarded pregnancy test stick on the sill of the window. Got us thinking: Why did they put it there? Afraid of discarding it at home? Why not in one of the trash cans near their bus stop? And most importantly: ARE THEY PREGNANT?!
Also, gross.
The little window looks like it has one line, which, according to the Walgreens website, means “not pregnant.” But without the box, we can’t be sure. So. Many. Questions!
