Three feline friends permanently lounging on the back of your jacket, that’s what’s better than laser cat. @emichbe spotted this jacket on a fellow Muni rider, and as a cat lady myself, I am utterly charmed by this bold fashion move.
Oh, there’s also this amazing cat shirt we saw on Muni this summer. Now I think that my idea of carrying my cat’s whiskers in a little locket around my neck doesn’t sound so crazy…right? RIGHT?

Offering further proof that dogs are THEE BEST, a guide dog named Orlando is being credited with helping to save his owner, who fainted in a New York City subway station, sending the two tumbling onto the subway tracks.
According to the Associated Press, Cecil Williams is still unsure why he passed out. He said that Orlando tried to hold him up, barking frantically before they both went over the edge. Bystanders called for help, the subway driver was able to slow the train, and Cecil and Orlando suffered only minor injuries.
Who’s a good boy? A very good boy?

It’s Thursday. In less than one week, it will be Christmas. Many of you are already vacation-bound, and good for you.
For the rest of us, like this four-legged beast, the destination is coming right up.

We threw this in the WTF: Weirdness on Muni category, but it’s not so much weirdness as what theeeee fuck. Via submitter “Ms. Over It,” we remember and wish everyone taught their kids to be good people, even when said kids get chest-puffy with their friends.
This story, unfortunately has it all: the worst of teen-on-woman harassment, theft, and what sounds like a lot of other scared passengers who sat on their hands.
I boarded the L train inbound at Taraval and 25th ave. yesterday evening after work. At the next stop a group of 6 or 7 teen boys boarded bringing foul language and disregard with them. They fought among each other, hogged multiple seats relaying emasculating phrases and homophobic accusations in the highest sound volume…this continued all the way to Forest Hill Station. When I departed the train I thought I was done with that ruckus but to my dismay the boys departed the train as well. We all boarded the elevator with a couple of other random people and half way up they hit the emergency stop button causing the elevator to jolt to a stop. They laughed and pushed each other around then hit the up button and the elevator began moving again, we were almost to the top when they did it again! I let out a frustrated sigh as I have a fear of falling and glanced at the other 2 adults on the elevator whom were also showing annoyance which I think the boys picked up on.

Look, just because you’re in a hurry and have “things to do” doesn’t mean you get to bump and push tiny gingerbread men on the bus, okay? From the looks of the situation above, this guy is the only one who has the right to be pissed. He’s risking life and limb, you guys!
