To blab on Muni, or not to blab on Muni?

It’s one of those unspoken rules, right? Stand to the right on escalators, let people out of the elevator (or bus or train) before you enter, slower cars to the right, no talking during the morning commute. Or is it?

@davidbicha boasts of a “TwitterWar” he recently waged:

Mini TwitterWar today! I stand by it: there’s an unspoken no-blabbing-during-morning-commute agreement.

We combed Muni Manners for the expert take on this important question, but our search came up empty. I have my personal feelings, but I’d rather know how you feel.

So, dear Muni rider: What do you think about excessive talking during the morning commute on Muni?

… you’re either “into seeing strange things,” oblivious, or just don’t give a damn.

Susan is the former, and posted the following snippet on our Facebook wall.

Guy on bus: are you into seeing strange things?
Me: sure
Him: that guy over there is rubbing motor oil all over his body.
Me: (looked over) Yes, he is. Only in SF.

I had trouble finding a photo to go with this story. I hope you understand.
