A submission from Muni rider ShinyTresses
On a rare warm San Francisco day, I had just gotten a haircut so my hair was swingy, sexy and shiny as I walked down to the Embarcadero station to wait for the N. I had been waiting on the wrong side of the station when the N pulled in and stopped in its tracks to wait for passengers to pile in. I must have looked confused because the driver, an older, bearded, skinny man, got out of the train and asked me where I was going.I told him and he said,
“Oh you need to be on the other side, honey, but wait! You’re so beautiful. Do you have a husband or boyfriend?”
Me, totally taken back and in shock: “Um…yes.”
Driver: “Oh I knew it!”
I glanced over and a whole train of passengers are sitting there, waiting.
Me: “Don’t you need to go? I think your passengers are waiting.”
Driver: “But I can’t take my eyes off you! I’d love to take you to dinner!”
I demurred and he said, “Maybe I’ll see you again! Your boyfriend is a lucky man!”
So, my apologies to the N-Judah passengers who were delayed because of one romance-inclined driver. And in case you were wondering where I got the hair cut that stops Muni traffic, it is Oxen Rose on Grove!

This is not about Muni, but a vain girl bragging about getting hit on…. Who cares. Either that or she is plugging the salon.

No wonder Muni is never on time!

If they’re not hitting on people, they’re just having idle chatter among themselves. I think the latter is more common, but I don’t know if that’s a good thing or not.

That driver appreciates good hair after all the riff raff he sees all day long.
