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?

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

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