Nope, not talking about the sounds that the buses make. This is more a symphony that we bring to our commutes. Using headphones to drown out what’s happening right in front of us. Having someone bust into song spontaneously. The good, the bad. You know the drill.

• Guy on bus says to girl next to me: “let’s pretend I was your next boyfriend.” Headphone volume: up 5 notches.
• Got on #SFMuni, accidentally made eye contact with old man. He started singing Wizard of Oz at me.
• While #SFMuni installs a new bus shelter in #NoeValley, I’m blasting out The Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” to get in the mood
• ppl the J is not ur personal office where u can take speakerphone calls during ur ride to work!

My favorite way to talk about odd shit that happens on Muni is to pass it off as though it were totally normal. Apparently, I am not alone in this:

• This man gives zero fux. Farts, keeps his leg up🙊 I’m trapped in a corner w terrible ventilation
• That moment when you’re hungry, and someone gets on the bus w/ 🍕. Can I have a slice or two?
• That moment the dude next to you is in the process of breaking up with his g/f on the phone. #munidiaries
• I love when people talk about their jail time and legal strategies on #SFMuni.
