Excuse me, you dropped your celery on Muni

celery

Muni rider Susan noticed these bunches of bright-green celery on the floor of the Muni Metro she was on. She then posted it to Twitter, concerned for their well-being: “Why was there celery on the Muni floor and why didn’t anyone else notice?” Good question!

I can only hope that this celery met their fated jar of peanut butter somewhere, after a good scrubbing-down, of course.

The Muni Metro Map, Caffeinated

Thrillist SF’s Joe Starkey has gone and done us a solid here. He created a mashup of the Muni Metro map with prominent coffee shops located at or near the stations and stops.

“Chances are, if you’re riding Muni in the morning, you desperately need coffee. So, we’ve gone out of our way to make your life easier, by using SF Muni’s map and our caffeine rolodex to plot out the best, closest coffee shop to every stop on Muni (that matters), replacing each stop name with the name of said caffeine-slinger. The only rule: all of the coffee shops had to be under a 10min walk away from their respective stop.”

Piss in a Pillow on the 47-Van Ness

Muni rider Samantha submitted this story. I, for one, am speechless.

Muni is home of the weird, that is for sure. As soon as you think you’ve seen it all in San Francisco, you can hop on Muni and see something even weirder.

I hopped on Muni the other day and a homeless man rolled onto the 47 bus (yes, rolled) with a pillowcase of his own urine. Yep, this man carried a pillow case of piss that was dripping out as he sloshed it to and fro. Riders like myself were dodging piss trying to comprehend why any of this was happening. He was too drunk to sit or stand so he rolled around on the floor until it was his stop and he then tumbled down the stairs.

I mean I just can’t. Good morning?
