Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
While waiting for Muni at the West Portal Station, rider Nick Lunar Marsh and a friend made an interesting health discovery. What else are you gonna do while waiting for Muni holding a bag of bagels you just bought, right?
Found more tidbits of life facts or just weird things people do while waiting for the bus? We’re all ears.
This bus is clearly possessed. Rider Nicholas Dorgan took a photo of it and survived to tell the tale, or at least to send us the photo.
Sure, you’re not superstitious or anything, but tell me that this photo, in combination with the photo below from @velvetgoldminer, doesn’t creep you out just a little.

@alleekate418: On the T watching a man eat something out of his shoe.
What kind of shoe, I wonder? And are we talking M&Ms or mashed potatoes?
More Muni experiences await your eyeballs — check out the rest in our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories Muni” celebration. And we still want to hear from you; send us your stories today, ’cause the best ones will be excerpted on a real-life Muni bus ad.
Ouch.
Earlier, a MissionMission contributor said he saw two guys putting up these ads on the 49 (“one of them had a pretty sweet mustache”).
So far in the series of Muni adbusters, we’ve got a special variety Tums, the other name for Tartine, and a dig on Du Beers.
I can’t quite tell why Men’s Warehouse was picked as a target for the spoof. Personally I think this spoof of a men’s fragrance is pretty on point.

From MissionMission:
I had the pleasure of watching one of the new fake bus ads go up today. I was on the 49 when two young males boarded. One mentioned concernedly to the other that there was no one driving the bus. I informed them that the driver was behind the bus fixing the wires, which had fallen off the lines as the bus turned off 16th onto Mission.
But alas, no photos of the two guys. Just as well, because that would be like finding out that Santa Claus isn’t real, right? You can read the rest of his account on MissionMission, including a description of the guys.
For review, we have a special variety Tums, the unfortunate nickname for Tartine, and an inexplicable spoof of Du Beers. The dig on Marines is also clever but perhaps not from the same culprit?
What’s next?
