Cuz if you’re anything like these fellow Muni riders, you saw some good stuff.

  • Gotta love the guy with a 10lb thing of kitty litter on the bus. #catpersonproblems
  • People rolling joints, typical. Separating a shoe box full of cocaine into baggies? Not so… #sf
  • empty mickey of vodka, container of potato salad, pint of Haagen-Dazs. Apparently some take the 6 to get over a breakup
  • so the 29 driver just stopped the bus, got out, and did several jumping jacks. That’s all
  • Oh my god why did I just look up from my phone to this old guy in spandex shorts

No one ever said ‘No Cooking on Muni’

And there you have it, folks. Someone straight making some goddam toast on a Muni LRV. Never mind that SFMTA says it’s dangerous.

This is just the latest chapter in the saga of people’s creative use of Muni’s electrical outlets:

Muni shelter electrical outlet begs you to charge your phone
Pop-Up Barber Shop at the Muni Stop

Be careful out there, you guys!

You love it. You know you do. All the whacky stuff that happens on your commute. Life wouldn’t be the same without it.

Just a few examples:

  • Guy boom-boxin’ “My Girl” on 38L, slightly disappointed that people weren’t singing along. #sfmuni
  • Drunk brodude on #sfmuni is at that point where he is either going to start hugging people or throwing punches
  • Grammar argument OH on #SFMuni bus: “I don’t give a fuck if shrimp is plural already. Shrimps, bitch.”
  • On the #sfmuni #21Hayes seated in front of a woman with the speaking voice of an out-of-tune #kazoo
  • Someone just told me their phone number was 867-5309 (niiinnnnneeeee) #funny #80sthrowback #munidiaries
