Because U.S.A.! I mean, why else?
First, the above actually happened. “Miley Cyrus Leggings = Today’s #SFMuni #FashionStatement”
Then, not to be outdone, the following did indeed occur.

Mayor’s Car Found Parked in Muni Zone

Mayor Lee’s car was seen parked in the Muni zone while he stepped out to grab a bite in Diamond Heights, Streetsblog SF reports.
David Black sent in photos of the car, as well as a Muni bus which pulled up to the stop and was forced to load riders away from the curb. Luckily, no Muni passengers in wheelchairs were unable to board due to the situation. Black said that Lee, and several people who appeared to be staffers, waited in line behind him at the taqueria.
The police officer who drives the Chevy Volt for the mayo “will be admonished,” the Mayor’s Office told Streetsblog.
For future reference Mr. Mayor, La Corneta Taqueria, which is the restaurant where the mayor and his staff were seen standing in line, is easily accessible by BART.

I suppose it depends on your point of view. Some of these could be positive experiences. If so, good on ya. I guess?
- It smells like poop on this bus. #goodmorning #yuck
- Look lady, I’m sry that yr bag had to give up its seat so a human being could use it, but you need to get over it. #SFMuni
- Munifears: seemingly irrational fears you have riding the bus, like someone ‘accidentally’ sitting in your lap #sfmuni
- I don’t know what’s worse, that my #SFMuni driver is on the phone, or that it’s on speaker for us all to hear.
- 22-Fillmore stalled while woman enlists help of strangers to carry her 9 Starbucks drinks. This a social science experiment?

USA! USA! flag stuck in BART door
Oh, the dangers of celebrating your team advancing in the World Cup. Like, you know, getting your American flag stuck in the BART door. Also, note the blue and red Tom’s.
Don’t think you’re better than us, Germany, and I’m not just talking about the win. Like you’ve never gotten a GER flag trapped in the U-Bahn doors! USA! USA!
