Muni rider Michelle W. observed some exemplary behavior on the 71L-Haight/Noriega Limited the other day when a man spilled his coffee. One point for humanity.

This morning, a man spilled his coffee on one of the new hybrid electric buses. He asked for newspapers from passengers, got none, so he took off his shirt and mopped up the mess. Kudos to him, wherever he is now.

That is pretty sweet. Could it be the same mighty good man we spotted earlier this year?

This week’s top Muni moments feature a Christmas tie. It’s not too soon, is it?

  1. Do you think the 38 drivers feel inferior to the 38L drivers when they get passed by them on O’farrell?
  2. The look on people’s faces when they realize they got on an express bus by mistake.
  3. There is a man on the 49 wearing a necktie with a bold Christmas tree motif. ‘Tis the season!
  4. A man on Muni playing music from his phone just dropped it and it fell apart. Music man 0 – everyone else 1.
  5. I was pretty convinced the toddler behind me shat on the N-Judah. Then I saw the woman eating tuna.

This week’s top five Muni moments were brought to you by @krystaelaine, @harpersfinest, @kitzerkoo, @lamelsauceda, and @annedcamp. Got your own Muni moment? Tweet it to us at @munidiaries!

People collect things. It’s one of the things people do. It’s fun, and sometimes borders on sickness.

Grace collects things she overhears in San Francisco. She alerted us to the special room in her house of overheards: Overheard on Muni. Naturally, we bought in.

A sampling:

OH in SF (on the 14L):
Woman: Hey that’s knitting she’s doing! My Dr. says I should learn that cuz it’ll relax my mind, also I need to find an AA meeting.
