Best #hashtags for Muni?

In September, SFMTA’s Twitter account unveiled the hashtags it would be using to provide real-time updates for followers. Here’s a sample:
#MuniMetro = Muni Metro Subway between Van Ness and Embarcadero stations. We use this designation because delays in this stretch of the subway affect all of the light rail lines: J, K, L, M, N & T.
Historic Streetcar Line:
#fmarket = F Market & Wharves
See the full list of SFMTA hashtags here.
But SFMTA’s hashtags are woefully inadequate to describe the full Muni experience, if you ask us. Therefore, we hereby formally ordain the following:
#closeyourlegsdude
#gummybearorusedcondom
#chickenboneblues
#backdoorstepdown
#lolundergroundcordpuller
#mysteryliquidinseat
#leadfootdriver
#nevergettinghome
#donttouchanything
#needhandsanitizer
Then the simpler ones that are possibly even more effective:
#barf
#yuck
#ugh
#slow
After all, with hashtags, sometimes the shortest, most 140-character-friendly ones speak loudest.
So, what are some of your favorite Muni hashtags?
I use #WheresTheBoat to track the boat tram when it’s out and about. It still doesn’t have GPS!
