Careful where you … spit on Muni!?
In a classic case of “Oh no you din’t,” @terrihd issues the following ultimatum to the wearer of those shoes above: “Spitting on T-3rd floor; if he gets my bag it’s on.”
I sure hope it didn’t come to that.

Worst Person in the World on Muni?

There are great people on the bus, and then there are terrible people on the bus. Natasha overheard one of the latter recently:
“yeah well then she cried ‘rape’ and i told her ‘well if you dress like a slut than that’s on you.’ i was wearing jeans and like 3 cardigans and nothing happened to me.” -hipster girl on muni.
just get off the bus or shut up because i hate you.
Granted, it’s on a different level than this. But I’m no fan, either.
Jedi mind trickery on a Muni seat
You laugh, but something tells me this works sometimes. Picture it: a crowded commute-hour Metro train, and not one person sits here because of the message.
Instagram photographer @dusteallen asks, “A fair Muni warning?”
Well, is it?
Muni window smasher vs. tattooed guy

Happy Monday to you. Take a ride in Pierre’s Muni Way Back Machine (eight whole years ago!).
My favorite weird Muni story, from back in 2005 on bus #8002 on the 47 Van Ness, near North Point and Van Ness:
Out of nowhere, a guy sitting near the front of the bus slams his fist into one of the windows on the bus and cracks it. He turns to a woman sitting nearby and says something about being stressed out by classes. Then a middle-aged guy with tattoos on his face gets up and talks to the driver, obviously telling him what happened. When he sits back down, the window smasher says something about snitching and the tattooed guy says that his taxes have to pay for fixing the window. The two start arguing, and eventually the driver gets on the radio to call the police. Then suddenly the window smasher apologizes and gets off the bus.
The only San Francisco element missing here is a protest. Seriously.
Got a whacky Muni story? You know where to share it.
Creepy Doll, 1; Rained-On Muni Riders 0
First, there was Asylum, then there was Poltergeist, then there were probably some other movies with creepy dolls, and then there was this.
Jesse says: “There were a TON of people at the stop (Divis and Geary) AND it was raining, but no one was sitting down…everyone was keeping a healthy distance from that little monster.”
Jesse always makes us laugh—especially when he’s performing at Muni Diaries Live—but this is the first time he has for real creeped us the eff out.
The NYC Subway, a Horrible Place for Bad Ideas

Had it with the transit poop talk? Well, we’re not quite there yet. Definitely not, if there’s a strange utterly mind-boggling story involved.
According to Gawker, a New York man was killed last month after he fell onto the tracks while trying to create a makeshift toilet between two cars of a moving subway.
The story gets ever weirder. Shortly before that, another man was found in the same station, bloodied, with “severe buttocks injuries” and a broken pelvis. Police believe he had climbed up from the tracks and although it was unclear what exactly happened to him. He was, most certainly, very drunk.
Via Gawker.
