“Sorry About the Dog Shit Thing on Muni This Morning”

@thrifteye found a very sincere letter from a passenger on Muni via Craigslist.

Sorry for smelling like dog shit on the bus – m4w – 25 (financial district)

Date: 2012-07-19, 9:39AM PDT

To everybody that was riding the 2 (or was it the 3?) bus inbound to the Financial District on Thursday, July 19 (around 8:30 a.m.)

I sincerely apologize for potentially getting dog shit on you. It wasn’t my intention.

Let me explain: I walked to the bus stop, like I do every morning. Typically, my eyes are focused on avoiding bikers and homeless people.Now, I know that I must add shit to this list, because apparently, I stepped in it.

When I sat down on the bus, I crossed my legs, like I usually do. When people cross their legs, the bottom of their shoes usually touches their pants leg. It’s only natural, you guys. Unfortunately, on this day, the bottom of my shoe had shit on it.

To the pretty blonde girl I was sitting next to: I think I might have gotten some of the poo on ya. Sorry about that.

To the guy on the other side in the Yankees hat: I might have gotten doo-doo on you too. Again, my sincere apologies.

To everybody else on the bus, let’s be clear- I did not shit myself. I see a lot of you every morning and would appreciate it if I wasn’t known as “the guy that might have shit himself that one morning.”

And lastly, to whoever let their dog take a dump on the sidewalk without cleaning it up- F you, buddy.

Survey: What’s the first thing you tell newbies about Muni?

The other day on Twitter, we threw up the following question:

When out-of-town friends ask about #Muni, what’s the FIRST thing you tell them?

We figured you guys would treat us to some USDA prime juicy-as-hell responses. You did not let us down.

Among them (add yours in comments, below):

Muni Transformers Seek Mission District Tacos

Oh, look: a decidedly Mission District set of Transformer-like beings. Note the distinctive Muni palette.

Lohkay found this on a T-shirt last month at (we think) the Ferry Plaza Farmer’s Market last month. Per Lohkay’s Tumblr:

The dude at the stall said he made all the t-shirts, but when we commented that it was Transformers he said he didn’t know what those were he just wanted to make a cool shirt. Could be honest or could’ve just found the art online — EITHER WAY I just wanna know if anyone has any information on who is the original artist for this badass t-shirt.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a Muni Transformer — AKA Muniformer. They are obviously hiding among us waiting to battle Munitron, and I am 100-percent sticking to that story, yep.

Mystery Muni Accordion-Player

Update (1:34 p.m.): @clowntraps was kind enough to share the photo above, adding, “the N Judah accordion player from yesterday. Quite good!” So there you have it. Now, audio, anyone?

Original post: You know what they say about three making it a trend, right? Well, here we go.

1. Bummed

2. Joyous

3. Indifferent?

We recently learned of a mysterious full band entertaining/irritating L-Taraval passengers. Won’t someone help unmask the accordion player on the N-Judah? Are the two somehow related?

Here’s another photo, this one showing TWO accordion players, from bananaeggroll:

No, but thanks for asking

Sam had a noteworthy experience on Muni recently. On her Tumblr, she called this “Lady next to me on Muni.” Here’s what happened:

LADY: *something in a different language*
ME: I’m sorry, what?
LADY: *again in different language*
ME: What?
LADY: You don’t speak Ordu?
ME: No, I’m Iranian.
LADY: Oh.. are you Iranian Muslim?
ME: No, I’m not religious
LADY: …..
ME: …..
LADY: ……
she goes and sits somewhere else

Score one for honesty!
