Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
Helen describes the scene above.
This guy was listening to his boombox with headphones on the 28. And jamming out. Hard.
Boombox and headphones. Boombox and headphones … maybe his jams were so loud, like a helicopter passenger, he had to cover his ears to protect them and be able to communicate with fellow passengers …
Ah, never mind. I give up.
Helen dropped this one into our Diaries submission box. Now it’s your turn to share!

Matt got it all down:
A nicely dressed 40-something woman is riding Muni talking into her phone.
“Listen, I’m trying to move blocks around and schedule meetings.”

[…] "Listen, I'm trying to win us a vacation to Greece and Taiwan. Honey, I'm going to get us on that boat. Greece… and Taiwan!” Read more

So, the other day, @pmillegan‘s Caltrain was rolling along just fine. Only, someone forgot to shut the door. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

The Super Bowl is tomorrow. The San Francisco 49ers will play some football team or another in the Super Bowl. You will probably watch the game on TV, because you either a) are a 49ers fan, b) love commercials, c) both, d) are laid up in bed with that flu that’s going around, and have no choice but to watch the Super Bowl. Wait, are we allowed to write “Super Bowl”? I guess we have to hope so.
Lots going on this weekend. And some sort of “football” game or something, or the other. Check it out:
