Death Metal! Animosity on Muni!
Turn the volume down if you’re at work, but there is death metal on Muni! Watch the band Animosity take over an LRV (the N, I think?) and the passengers are just like, “No big deal.” There’s a bad-ass stuffed animal in the video too.

Let’s Play ‘What’s Grosser?’

Rachael posted an interesting question on the Muni Diaries Facebook Page yesterday:
Maybe I’m weird about germs but to me walking around barefoot is no more/less gross than touching everything on the bus then sitting down to eat a sandwich. Why do people eat on Muni?
Which led me to wonder which was actually grosser. I haven’t decided yet, but I’ve probably spent too much time thinking about it already.
The floor is just plain grody. I’ve let bare legs and bare hands touch seats and rails before even thinking about putting a bag on the floor. I think we can agree that the chicken and formaldehyde combo platter is an appetite-killer for all involved. But Muni riders snack on food that isn’t stuck to the window all the time, and it doesn’t always bother me. That said, we use our bare hands to eat, sometimes before washing our hands when we’re late to dinner and about to eat a limb for sustenance. OK, maybe by we, I mean me.
But, which is worse? Barefoot riding or eating while riding?
Circular logic at SFMTA Lost and Found

Muni Tattoo girl alerts us to this “funny if it weren’t also totally pathetic” story:
I lost my coin purse containing my Clipper and my ID a couple weeks ago, and yesterday I got a call from the SFMTA lost & found saying that someone had turned it in (bless their heart). The woman told me I would need a photo ID to collect my… PHOTO ID.
Say whatever you want about competency. I wanna be present when Muni Tattoo girl and whoever’s running the Lost and Found open up that wormhole.
Photo Diary: Dude, Open a Window
What can you possibly smell on Muni? Hot dog juice or fresh strawberries? You decide.
And if you have photos on and around public transit in San Francisco, our Muni Flickr pool is wide open!
Caltrain takes a wrong turn
Laura of @caltraindiaries alerts us to this peculiar sight: A Caltrain that situated itself on … Townsend yesterday morning?!
At least no one was hurt. At least, not that we know of. I do wonder how many cyclists yelled at it to “get out of the fucking bike lane!!!”
