If you’re still secretly wishing you had a date for Valentine’s Day (but publicly denouncing the Hallmark-esque insincerity of the holiday itself), I found five great San Francisco singles for you. These guys and girls are environmentally conscious, technology savvy, financially responsible, with sensitive writerly souls.

Oh, all right. These are bus riders who wrote Craigslist missed connection ads. But hey, with less than 24 hours until doomsday, this is no time to be picky. We didn’t correct grammar or punctuation mistakes in the ads because…I think that’s pertinent information you need to know.

So if you’re looking for a last-minute date, especially if you are the girl who wore black and white snowflake skirts and tights (or if you’re the girl who bought a painting and gave the dude a fake phone number), you might be the one they’re looking for!

Here are our Muni-riding singles:

What happened on Muni this week? Kai the chocolatier rode the 22-Fillmore with a backpack full of 15 pounds of cooked bacon, which made the bus smell like bacon. In related delicious smells, a woman’s bag broke on the 1-California, and a bottle of maple syrup shattered on the floor. Elsewhere, Sara was reading a textbook for her Emerging Diseases class while riding Muni and diagnosed some likely cases around her. “I like your haircut, but you should dye it,” a stranger said to an unassuming woman with a salt and pepper pixie cut.

And finally, here’s a song relating to an important Muni etiquette:
“Close, close, close your legs/when you ride the bus/Verily, verily, verily, verily/your junk can’t be THAT large.”

This week’s Muni moments are from @noshthis, @bozzygoestowork, @happysara89, @dewright07, and @CAwkward.

Don’t forget to follow and @ us your best Muni moments at @munidiaries!

So nice of the gentleman on the left to pass the goodie around. Mind making my coffee a little more Irish this morning, guys?
