You ride Muni. I ride Muni. They ride Muni. We all ride Muni. Have a great weekend!

  1. 2 riders wearing backpacks that keep bumping each other. Giving each other dirty looks. Total backpack stalemate #sfmuni
  2. took a vote on whether to let a girl get off the 31AX bc she wasn’t paying attn to the last stop #Muni
  3. How do I politely tell the guy standing next to my seat that his fly is down? #munidiaries
  4. Had a muni car to myself for 5 stops. First person to board decides to sit 2 seats next to me. #StoryOfMyLife
  5. Who needs reality tv when you can ride the 49 after dark? #munidiaries

Ninja salesman delights Muni passengers

Muni rider Sherlock sent us the following story. And with it, the clock on “random things seen in San Francisco/on Muni” has been reset.

“The other day, I was riding the 28 to the Presidio Parkway when it stopped at the intersection with Marina Bvld [sic] for a red light. During our brief wait before we got on the freeway, a man dressed up as a ninja scrambled onto Presidio Pkwy and started showing brochures for a car wash. Many people opened the bus windows to grab some of them. I just sat there taking in the most random thing I’ve seen in a long time.”

Would you take a brochure from a ninja? I’d be a little scared of what I’d unknowingly have to give up, to be honest. Sneaky ninja!
