Our pal Lindsey (pictured) made a new friend at Farolito late Friday night on her way home from a holiday party (pictured):
She was handing the guy (the one with the strong hairline who is always there) a $5 bill and asking him to give her “the best thing you’ve got”. This went on for a couple minutes, and I thought she may need a suggestion. I leaned over and told her “try a burrito!” because everybody knows Farolito has the best burritos. This girl looked at me and said “shut up, white bitch”.
It gets violent. Read on.

you should have shut up you white bitch….why ? dunno…but you look like shutting up is a thing you need to do in everyday life! LOL nah j/k batman cant be mean ! i will say this…most of the time… when ppl are angry.. it has to do with them not you.
White chick should have known better and just shut up. You called it upon yourself. Not sayin it was cool, just that if you didn’t expect that reaction you’re a fool.
really? “hungry drunk hoes” didn’t offend you more than “try a burrito!”?
Get some street smarts and stay out of people’s business. This isn’t the dorms.
@Yerf: EXACTLY!
*Condemning me* for suggesting a menu item an indecisive patron at Farolito, who was holding up the line, is a far more relevant example of “running ones mouth” than the quip I made. When you choose to come back to Reality with me, and the 1,000 other people who have thus far viewed this blog post, let me know. Have a nice day.
errr, “suggesting a menu item to”.
guys, her blog got ONE THOUSAND hits, your common sense is powerless against that.
Linds-baby, “reality” is what, literally, smacked you upside the head.
obviously, the woman who hit you was out of line and out of control. However, there is a startling lack of streets smarts in SF that I have not been able to figure out in the 10 years I’ve lived here. Before I moved to this city that I love so much, I lived in shitty East Coast neighborhoods and regularly dealt with neighbors who repeatedly broke into my house while I was asleep, 10 year olds who threatened to have their older brothers shoot me in the face because I was white and local grocers who would overcharge me because I ordered in English. In short, my roomies and I became aware very quickly that we were not liked in the neighborhood and were considered a target by certain people. At the time, I thought it was normal urban living and it made me extremely grateful to live in our paradise by the bay where, for the most part, that doesn’t exist and people are generally laid back. That said, some of that urban downside exists here and a lot of people seem oblivious to it. In this scenario, you should be aware that some people are just looking for a fight and getting involved in any way will make you a target for that anger. Not blaming the victim, but some people truly don’t give a shit and see anyone who is a little too cheery/social/well-off/whatever as a target of their frustration and a symbol for what they see as a negative change in their city, community, etc.
I kinda have to agree here. A little patience goes a long way. Even at 3am. Not saying it was right for her to slap you but some people just don’t want to hear shit from anybody, white or not. Either that or see No fish today’s comment below.
Stu — seems to me, waiting a couple of minutes
behind a brain-dead zombie in a burrito line might be try the patience of anyone. And maybe Lindsay “don’t want to hear shit from anybody”, too.
Which is all fine and good. Just be ready for anything is all. There are no rules in the jungle.
Stu, that is what I’m getting at. When I lived at my old place, I decided to get righteous and walk home 8 blocks after a show…you know, “this my neighborhood, this is my community, it’s my right to walk on my own street at night, etc.” About 3 blocks in, a group of Latinos guys stopped me and pointed to a group of thugs about 2 blocks ahead. They basically told me I was crazy and that those thugs would beat the living shit out of me if I didn’t figure out another way to get home. The Latino guys were literally just being friendly and helped showed me the reality of where I was living at the time despite my beliefs about walk-ability, urbanism, etc.
How dare she be friendly and suggest the burrito? Jesus christ, people. I make recommendations to people all the time, and I have never had someone go off on me like that, not once.
Hey anonimodesf — what kind of reaction are you expecting to your line of bullshit? How about, “Shut up yourself, tool!”?
So, you ran your mouth and got smacked around by someone who didn’t like it.
Is this the first time you’ve been struck by someone else?
Read the last sentence of the linked post and your questions will be answered in full.
Girl, you gotta learn to improvise some urban self defense moves.
1. Salsa to the eyes
2. Leg sweep
3. Burrito down the throat
And that’s the last time they pull that on anybody
Finally- a helpful comment!
Funny that. I thought the most helpful comment so far is the reminder that there are no rules in the jungle. Stay outta people’s business or be ready for anything.. Hopefully there was a lesson learned.
Give me “the best thing you’ve got” = I’m illiterate and can’t read the menu.
“shut up white bitch” = I have incredibly low self esteem and assume you’re making fun of me OR I’m such a lowlife that anyone attempting to be nice to me makes me feel highly uncomfortable OR I’m cracked out of my mind.
We need to stop black out migration from San Francisco.
what’s “black out migration?”.
I’m sorry…”African American” out migration.
Too late. It’s a done deal, except for 16th and Mission BART Plaza and “certain neighborhoods”. Hellooooo, Richmond!
What is “out migration”? Is it the same thing as emigration?
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/out-migrate
Interesting! I have never heard/seen that term before.
Probably because people no longer understand the difference between “immigrate” and “emigrate.”
El Farolito doesn’t make anywhere near the best burritos in The Mission.
Now THAT will get you slapped in the head
Farolito is a grimy little pit of grease, dirt, and soul-crushing squalor. It’s like eating at McDonald’s, if McDonald’s never cleaned the fuck up and had windows coated in thick clouds of lard vapor.
It’s true: Farolito is not great, but this is pretty much a Coke vs. Pepsi argument. People can get used to anything.
Manny: I know, that goes without saying. But just because Lindsey made an incorrect recommendation is no reason for her to be abused.
In other words your preference in men tends toward fem metro sexual.
I think you’re doing what I did before reading the article: “strong hairline guy” is not the weemer in the picture above.
Lindsay, the moment she laid a hand on you…you had every right to take your helmet off and smack that illiterate hoe upside the head with it.
That would have made it worse. Again I don’t condone Lindsey bein hit, that really sucks. But sticking your nose in her (hitter’s) business EVEN with good intentions, although it sounds like L was more trying to get her to order and out of the way so L& friend could order, yer gonna get a “street” reaction. i’ve seen worse for even less.
You sound like an enabling masochist.
anonimodesf is correct…I lived in the 16th Miss area for years til I had a kid and didn’t think it a good place for a baby, cuz hey…its not! 3am at a burrito joint can be pretty dicey even for the residents. Too many drugs and the agressor probably was adled on something illegal. Trust me…people like the hitter see people like lindsey as ‘marks’ and prey. At 3am, lindsey was in her world not the other way around.
Flavor Flav told us over 20 years ago, “you could get a smack for that.”
Basically another vote for the “Marshall Plan.”
“San Francisco officials have a moral obligation to try and stop black residents from abandoning the city and should consider a local version of the Marshall Plan to help African Americans, the Rev. Amos Brown, president of the San Francisco NAACP, said Sunday.”

I will delay judgement until I learn what type of meat was suggested in said burrito.
If only “burrito” was suggested…then you did not help the situation…and deserved to be slapped by all patrons standing in line in front of you.
I would interpret “burrito” as sarcasm. “Hey, try the Mexican food, it’s great here!”
Omg it would’ve been great if you said, “Hey, try the Mexican food, it’s great here!”
No, fuckface. It was entirely un-sarcastic. I was offering an honest opinion. So you can go on and continue to provide (incorrect) answers to all of these questions, and I hope you’re blowing a load over your own snarkiness. In fact, since you seem to have so much time to sit around and monitor the comments on this post, I suggest you find yourself a book on how to form a fucking sentence. “Again I don’t condone Lindsey bein hit, that really sucks. “
Playing grammar police is one big really waste of time especially on blog threads with so many uneducated idiots. It’s futile I’ve learned.
“I would interpret “burrito” as sarcasm.”
That’s because you’re a paranoid schizophrenic. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but you should really seek treatment.
I like that there were people offended by the burrito suggestion. I really love that SF is full of little shit talking brats that really can’t fight, but love to talk shit via the internet.
PS – This is the worst news ever.
The worst news ever is that you have somehow managed to find certain keys on your parents’ keyboard.
hahahahaha! word!
I bet that was one hot black ho.
Lindsey you’d be cranky too if you had just been f**ked in the a$$ five times in one night.
YOU ARE VERY, VERY CORRECT. A+
Super quesadilla suiza is the only thing to get at El Faralito. And when did it start being called Faralito, anyway?
Definite articles are usually optional.
Farolito always puts waaaaaay too much rice in my burritos.
Pancho Villa is a bazillion times better.
sorry but as soon as she sets hands on you, you have not only the right but the responsibility to grab her head and drive it into the counter full force. Preferably with repetition. Failure to do so only suggests to this asshat that her behavior is acceptable.
When (well, ‘if’ really) the police arrive you only need say “She attacked me. I was afraid for my life and defended myself.”
What did the guy with you do while this was going on?
pushing her off of me & buying me a quesadilla.
I new Andrew was a gentleman.
black people are hella stupid
All White Bitches in SF need to shut up in general!! Especially hipster, smart-ass, think-they-know-it-all white bithces and Marina White-Bitches. Stuff a sock or a cock in it.
Whatever, shithead.
What did you expect would happen? Not that you should’ve been expecting a smackdown, cause that wasn’t called for, but really.
probably that the lady would finally order a burrito since she had been standing at the counter for at least 5 minutes up to that point…
At that hour, when they “appear to be” a Capp St. hooker, when they had been acting like that up until the altercation? Common sense’d tell me not to butt-in.
Dunno, but I’ve never heard of such a crazyass aggro response to a friendly suggestion before. So, I suppose, I would expect that the person would either say “thanks” or possibly just ignore the suggestion altogether.
Maybe if it weren’t 3am and the woman at the counter hadn’t been acting in that manner up to that point. Common sense should dictate when you should or shouldn’t be helpful/butt-in.
This article amuses me.
I think the moral of this story should be that if you’re surprised by or afraid of the crazy, maybe the Mission isn’t for you. Maybe if you stayed on Valencia you’d be safe, or I hear Walnut Creek is nice.
you sound like an idiot.
IF YOU DONT WANT TO FALL, DONT RIDE A BIKE. FUCKIN DUHHHHHH IDIOT
Walnut Creek has one of those new sit-down Chipotles.
