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.

Because Muni is cold. It is hard. It is truth. Live it, know it, love it, like these fine folks are doing.

  • Sometimes I think mass transit is designed to embarrass you physically. Great source of physical comedy. #muni
  • The bus you’re on time for, is the bus that never comes #sfmuni
  • Shocked it took me living here 4 yrs before I saw someone on @sfmta_muni using vodka bottle as pillow
  • My nose adapted to breathing air w/o actually smelling it. Thx for helping me experience evolution, Muni
  • An always fun #muni game – whose BO? This round was easy. Crazy hobo scratching his pits.

Video: Train nearly takes out senator on platform during safety conference

Leave a comment

You know those yellow dotted lines on the platform? They’re there for a good reason. In this hilarious video, Connecticut Senator Richard Blumenthal held a press conference on a platform at the Milford Metro-North station to discuss its safety record and a train nearly takes him out.

Fittingly the train speeds by and knocks everything over just as Blumenthal said, “Safety, as you know, is paramount.”

Science writer Annalee Newitz fulfilled our geek dreams by sharing a story of how Muni is actually on the side of righteousness when an obnoxious driver gets in its way. I particularly love that she recounted the early days of being in the tech industry in the Bay Area. Here’s the video of her terrific story as told at Muni Diaries Live on April 5.

Missed this show? We’ve got the spring show recap and recap of all of our past shows to tide you over.

Doughnut Hooligans on Muni

Leave a comment

muni donut hooligans

Rider Judy ran into two suspects involved in a baked goods heist and sent us her illustrated conversation.

These hooligans seem pretty innocent compared to, say, the soccer hooligans in Among the Thugs, which, incidentally is probably the best book about hooligans.

What interesting characters did you run into during your commute today? Tell us all about it at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com!
