Should this happen on Muni?

We all have our ideas of right and wrong. And those norms don’t take a back seat when we ride Muni. Nor should they.

Here are some questionable things seen and smelled on Muni this week:

  • A woman just crawled on the streetcar with an open tallboy of Old English. Happy Monday! #MuniDiaries
  • On the 33 line and for the first time, saw a driver curse out a passenger!
  • Old woman dressed entirely in black on #sfmuni brushing the hair of a creepy doll. Quota for the macabre, fulfilled.
  • Someone pooped on the bus during my morning commute. #sfmuni
  • man picks nose. smears findings on bus wall. my stomach… #munidiaries

Bored kid in Russia appoints himself bus driver, takes off with vehicle

A kid in Russia decided to steal a bus last month and take it on a joyride around town. Unsatisfied with tagging, rock throwing, or whatever it is eight-year-old boys do on their lunch break at school, Andrey Grimov stole the bus when the driver left the keys in the ignition to go on a break.

According to the U.K.’s Daily Star, the boy drove the bus through a hedge, a field, and across a lawn in Veliky Novgorod, before taking it out on the road. Police eventually stopped him by setting up a roadblock. According to the boy’s mother, Andrey said he was bored and looking for an ‘adventure.’

We seem to recall something like this has happened before in San Francisco in the days before Muni Diaries was around. Anyone remember the details?

New Shirt Perfectly Describes the Muni Sickout

FML

Muni rider Jeff (not be confused with our own Jeff) made a new shirt expressing his feelings about Muni some days—like sickout days, for example. He’s a high school teacher and San Francisco resident, and he has this to say: “I’ve had an idea floating around in my head for a couple of years, and I finally reached the tipping point. It’s a shirt, and maybe, unfortunately a way of life.”

He’s selling his Muni FML shirt for $14.

In case you want to complete the Muni worm area of your wardrobe, we recommend Fuckin’ Muni or Muni and Your Mom.

What did you see on Muni today?

Cuz if you’re anything like these fellow Muni riders, you saw some good stuff.

  • Gotta love the guy with a 10lb thing of kitty litter on the bus. #catpersonproblems
  • People rolling joints, typical. Separating a shoe box full of cocaine into baggies? Not so… #sf
  • empty mickey of vodka, container of potato salad, pint of Haagen-Dazs. Apparently some take the 6 to get over a breakup
  • so the 29 driver just stopped the bus, got out, and did several jumping jacks. That’s all
  • Oh my god why did I just look up from my phone to this old guy in spandex shorts

You love it. You know you do. All the whacky stuff that happens on your commute. Life wouldn’t be the same without it.

Just a few examples:

  • Guy boom-boxin’ “My Girl” on 38L, slightly disappointed that people weren’t singing along. #sfmuni
  • Drunk brodude on #sfmuni is at that point where he is either going to start hugging people or throwing punches
  • Grammar argument OH on #SFMuni bus: “I don’t give a fuck if shrimp is plural already. Shrimps, bitch.”
  • On the #sfmuni #21Hayes seated in front of a woman with the speaking voice of an out-of-tune #kazoo
  • Someone just told me their phone number was 867-5309 (niiinnnnneeeee) #funny #80sthrowback #munidiaries

This week’s shades of Muni is brought to you by fellow riders @danmasq, @deathandfood, @AkiraNiji, @QuismOreoCookie, and @HannahStahulak. Follow @munidiaries, because crazy shit on Muni is actually more reliable than Muni itself.

Muni ‘man sitters’ beware

We still don’t get why you do it. Yeah, you: crotchy sitters.

Firstly, you’ll not only be shamed on the internet—not that we have ever, ever shamed so-called man-sitters on Muni who’ve got big balls and they cannot lie…oh, wait, yeah we have, a lot.

But now, you’ll endure an added layer of emasculation when those big ones are Photoshop neutered in favor of (duh) cats. I mean, if you are actually saving room for cats, per Feministing.com, we’d be OK with it, just let us know.
