Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

Sometimes avoiding eye contact and plugging your headphones into your ears just isn’t enough to stop people from talking to you on Muni. This rider has solved the problem with an oversize hoodie made just for Muni. I respect the sentiment.
If you really don’t want anyone to talk to you on Muni, I guess you can always go the bed sheet route. But that’s a little much, don’t you think?
It’s not too late to repent for your weekend full of debauchery, be it any of the seven sins. All you have to do is to get on Muni.

And wouldya just lookee there. Many of them are about drinking and the hot, hot heat we suffered this weekend. Coincidence?
This week’s astute Muni observations were made by @taylormadeSF, @IvanVanderbyl, @LorenaBennett, @brendenguy, and @Zurib19. What’s happening on your Muni commute? Tell it to @munidiaries.

If you’re not at the beach right now, you’re probably tweeting about how hot it is in San Francisco today and the heatwave on the bus. Like these fine folks …
To the dude sweating profusely on Muni… I feel your pain bro.

Sit right down and you’ll hear the tale of beloved Muni Diaries alum Jesse James (current holder of the Muni haiku champion belt) and how he went from niche Amazon order to AT&T Park and back home again. Hilarity and perhaps a life lesson or two ensue.
Jesse told his story on stage at Muni Diaries Live in early April. Catch up on all the MDL action over the years. You won’t be sorry.
We are not even a little bit kidding about this. This eBay post features a vintage 1960s toilet seat emblazoned with a vintage Muni logo.
The posting is titled, “Vintage 1960’s San Francisco Muni Solid Wood Toilet Seat for Cable Car Riders,” though I am not sure why cable car riders need a special toilet seat. The item description reads:
“I left my heart in San Francisco” Vintage SF Muni toilet seat with lid / cover. Solid wood construction. Mounting hardware including rubber washers is part of the set.
Shows little wear for its age. Some fading of color in spots. No cracks, checks or splits.
Pretty standard toilet seat dimensions. Seat Measures approx. 15″ x 15 1/2″, 15” x 16 ½” to center line of mounting bolts. Lid 13” x 13 ½”Would make a great CONVERSATION PIECE.
Looks like someone out there might be leaving more than their heart …
Bidding starts at $100, or you can buy this conversation piece right now for $135.
