Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
It’s not every day that you arrive at your work to such an uplifting message. I work in a building across the street from Kirkland Yard (see below). Turns out one of my coworkers lost their work ID, but a Muni driver grabbed it for him and went the extra mile of leaving this note.
Not all bad apples, folks.
Donut socks. Because, donut socks. Not donuts and socks, weirdos! Just … donut socks.

Take that, silly tech shuttle!
Karmic justice and schadenfreude collided (combined?) this morning downtown, when a Muni trolley’s electric pole came offline and smashed through the window of a (probable) tech shuttle. SFist has the story:
An electric Muni bus antenna collided with the window of what appears to be a tech shuttle downtown, though which vehicle may have been at fault remains unclear. From the photo above, it appears the antennas had come loose from the overhead wires and were sticking off the rear of the Muni bus when the shuttle possibly drove into them.

We’ve all been there. We need new appliances, but we’re all, “Cool, but HOW DO I GET THIS THING HOME?” Good question, dear consumer.
The answer, of course, more times than not, is to rent a dolly and wheel the damn thing home yourself on public transit. That’s what elevators are for, silly!
BART rider Anthony tipped us off to this one. But then, pretty much everyone started sharing photos, like this one from Viral Images:
So, there’s your answer.

BART rider and friend of Muni Diaries Sara had the ride of a lifetime today. The Harlem Globetrotters, in town for a series of games starting tomorrow through the following weekend, boarded her BART train and, what else, started the damn show (see the video above).
I think I hear one of them saying, ” … nobody cares.” C’mon guys, show a little love. It’s the Harlem Freakin’ Globetrotters, for cryin’ out loud.
We all wish we could be so lucky …
FYI, here’s info on the Globetrotters’ games in the area over the next couple of weeks. If you haven’t seen them before, think about it. Ticket available here.
