Hey, Muni rider, is that a banana in your pocket?
Or are you just happy to see me?
Muni Metro is always happy to see you, if you know what I mean.

A Misinterpretation of Your Meaning
Photo by Mark Hogan
From Muni rider Ramona, overheard on the in-bound 38:
Woman on phone, on bus:
“Well, sometimes you’re mean.”
…
“Mean.”
…
“No. Mean.”
…
“Mean.”
…
“No, you’re not a meme. You’re M-E-A-N.”
Damn. I really want to be a meme too.

Head-scratching things overheard on Muni

It’s not just smells, anger, and despair. Muni is also a roving audio laboratory, much to the delight and chagrin of us all.
These fellow Muni riders clued us in some things they overheard on Muni this week:
- OH on Muni: “My cheek is sweating up my cellphone screen”
- [on the J] Guy on phone: Yes but he’s vegan and I’m not very vegan-friendly.
- Overheard at the #Muni stop: THIS IS THE LIVING WAGE!
- OH: and he was programming on a go cart-he’s that badass, oh and he has a masters too. never forgetting headphones again
All righty then.
This week’s Things on Muni is brought to you by @larrybobsf, @OHinSFbyGrace, @jessicatzz, and @BrittNuffsaid.
‘The Devil is controlling Muni’
I love so many things about this drawing by Muni rider John. The fact that it explains everything might be the least interesting thing about it. The Devil wearing his name in two languages might be my favorite.
Note that the “bus” is moving backwards, which sounds about right most days. “Mostly late or delayed.” Yep.

Muni Riders Debate: What is a pussy bow, anyway?
Hint: It’s not this. Photo by DavidyDave
You see a lot of weird stuff on Muni, and some of them you can’t even begin to describe. This morning, @spiegelmama tweeted about a mystery item that defied definition for some of us.
There is a woman on the 2-Clement wearing a full-on pussy bow. I LOVE THIS LINE. @munidiaries

Do you know what a pussy bow is? We polled our fellow Muni riders to find out: without Googling it, define “pussy bow.”
Muni Diaries Jeff says:
1. a bow worn in the crotch area
2. a naked woman with her pubes in a bow
3. a bow (doesn’t matter where it’s worn) that looks like a vagina
BrokeAss Stuart says: I have no idea. But I think I want one.
Muni rider Matt says: “it is the worst piercing ever.”
BART Diaries Ed says: “Like a decorative barette or something for one’s lady area.”
Muni rider Johnny Tripod says: “A bow given when the skirt-wearing bow-er has forgotten to put on her underwear. Oops!”
Muni rider Aaron says: “More complicated version of the g-string?”
Rider Pozu says: “Personally, I don’t care for pussy bows. I like the possibility of a revealing if fleeting glance at her charms. I hope that doesn’t give it away.”
Sorry to disappoint, but according to Wikipedia, a pussy bow is “a style of neckwear often associated with women’s blouses and bodices. It takes the form of a bow tied at the neck, similar to those that used to be tied around kittens’ and cats’ necks.”
For example, here is Margaret Thatcher wearing a pussy bow blouse.
