Category: Funny: Muni LOLs

No doubt, it can be boring waiting the bus. But if this utterly asinine cringe-worthy video posted by the Daily Telegraph in Sydney is any indication, sometimes you’re better off just dealing with it and twiddling your thumbs.

Holy MF awesome! Our own Animals and Other Cities editor, Amy, brings us the find of the decade. It’s educational footage from the early 1980s that walks Bay Area transit drivers through the various shenanigans that happen on any given route. Among them:

• Entitled old ladies who ain’t paying
• Boom-box blaring teenagers (if you ask nicely, they’ll turn it off)
• Teens who light paper fires in the back of the bus
• Drunk dudes trying to board the bus, bottle in hand
• Crazy lady who doesn’t want a ride, just wants to show off her fashion finds
• Dudes fighting because one tripped the other
• Olive Oyl and the purse-snatcher
• Creepy dude who pre-rapes bus-driving lady

You know, the everyday stuff. And the soundtrack [exclamation point]

Urban parents have a lot of explaining to do. Not sure how I would have explained this one, though. Caption for the photo proves that I’m not the only one.

This lady ran for her life lmao.

Real life lessons, y’all.

Sergio CrazyPants Riccetti-Schubert hipped us to this “interesting” sight:

That’s the emergency exit hatch on a 22 Fillmore bus being held closed with a plastic shopping bag and a shoelace.

You might remember the SFWeekly report earlier this summer that detailed the maintenance issues at Muni, where fixes included the use of garbage bags. Pretty good advertisement for Glad bags.

Thanks for dropping this off on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, Sergio!
