Another New Year’s Eve has come and gone, and we all seem to have escaped largely unscathed. How was your Muni experience Wednesday evening? Here’s what some of your fellow Muni riders had to report:

Earlier this week, we posted your top Muni rider pet peeves. That was, of course, merely a snapshot in time.
Without further ado, here are this week’s instances of disturbing and head-shaking behavior on Muni:
First, an oldie but annoying-ie
Dude has his phone on speaker, but still has his phone to his head. #Muni #L2cellphone — @DaneYoshida
Next, we move on to flat-out gross
dude blew his nose in his bare hands and proceeded to wipe them on his jacket sleeves #munidiaries — @LimLam8
Then onto these charming fellow riders
Homeboy: I have a cold, allergies, and I’m high as a kite on NyQuil, but I can STILL smell your cologne. #sfmuni — @MissNatMoore
And onto positively SMH behavior
Woman w/cane berates woman w/baby for sitting in handicap seat. On one hand ok but on the other really? #munidiaries — @ckueda
Lastly, the rainy day #dickmove, indeed
Your umbrella doesn’t need its own seat. #dickmove instagram.com/p/wzFSzWtp3Z/ — @spiegelmama
Things on Muni is a weekly compilation of our favorite tweets from you, the Muni rider. Add your voice to the choir at @MuniDiaries.
Furthering the “You guys think of everything” narrative, Muni rider Nate tweeted the above. “Badonkadonk #BootySF” indeed.
Wouldn’t a real Muni route that looked like this be so. much. fun?

Remember #lifebeforethestorm? Yeah, I didn’t think you would. There was this thing called no rain. It was strange and wonderful. Somehow, we all survived it.
But enough reminiscing. Onward to the most remarkable Muni moments of the week!
This week’s Things on Muni is brought to you by fellow riders @jocelynslai, @bbunnykat, @theEddieH, @faern_me, and @pjrocks. Be like them: Follow @munidiaries on Twitter. You, too, could experience the glory.

You know how sometimes you just stumble upon greatness unintentionally? That happened to us when we were planning last month’s Muni Diaries Live.
One rando day I saw someone post a Throwback Thursday photo of herself and her dad, decked out as he was in an honest-to-goodness Muni operator uniform. I followed the breadcrumb trail to Klee Wiggins, daughter of a Muni bus driver.
Fast forward to that night in November at the Elbo Room, when we were all treated to 12 minutes of delightful and hilarious and touching stories of growing up in a Muni family.
Check out Klee’s performance at Muni Diaries Live.
