Anthony S. found this handmade note of angst (I think?) on a street pole on Stanyan Street.
Is “skull fuck” a new meme or an old meme coming back? “Skull Fuck was the Dead’s chosen name for their 1971 live album, which of course the record company rejected, so it became artistically by default named Skull and Roses,” according to a commenter in an earlier thread. We found two more skull fuck requests this way.

Or, in @Peter_Hartikka‘s case:
The one time in my life I notice a hot guy on #SFMuni checking me out, and I have a cold sore the size of Nebraska. #fml

Such brutality!
I hate to be the one to say this isn’t a real transit ad, but this isn’t a real transit ad. It should be, yes, but it’s not.
Patricia called our attention to these brutally honest parody ads via Happy Place. The ads explain how you can easily not be an asshole on Down Undah’s Queensland Rail. They’re meant to mock the exceedingly polite — and accidentally passive-aggressive, right? — Queensland Rail etiquette tips. Have a look at what Happy Place describes as, “…five examples that much more closely resemble our subway experiences, plus or minus a few breast-gropers and/or gibberish-spouting homeless women.”
My favorite Bay Area transit etiquette rules: “Don’t give your giant Styrofoam its own seat on crowded trains,” “BART isn’t your living room, mister,” and “It’s impolite to take up extra bus seats and flip people off.”
What are yours?

Someone put googly eyes on emergency car stop button casing turning the forbidden red button into something much more hilarious. They also transformed the usual monotonous morning commute into a carload of passengers who briefly broke their silence and laughed together. Well played, witty vandal!
Well played indeed! Thanks, David!
