Muni Diaries Live alum Kelly Beardsley shared the following tale recently. Kelly is a BART operator, you see:

Around 9am last Saturday, I heard an operator report a complaint from a passenger about someone tearing up a seat with a sharp object. Two minutes later the operator reported a complaint of the same guy now taking a crap in the seat he cut up.

Man, I’m just not even fazed anymore.
