Watch Your Arm on Muni! 05.25.10
Photo by Flickr user Joey.Parsons
Rider Fannie saw a scary incident this morning at Church station:
Around 8:45 a.m. I got on a train that was quite full, after waiting for three full trains to pass by at peak rush hour. Then, this chick got her arm stuck in the door. Like in the sliding track…her left arm and elbow. I watched her scream with hysteria. Originally, she’d been very busy trying to cram on to the very full train, and getting angry. I would have helped her, but there were more than three people already trying to do so.
Somehow, they got her arm out. She had a pretty big bruise on the bone of her elbow…She was distraught (and I would be too).
They made us get off. (As in, empty out the entire two car train)
And some of us filled out information cards (as witnesses).
And then waited for two more trains before getting on.
Lesson learned: Muni vehicles are not worth (almost) losing a limb over.
Yikes. I’ll remember this the next time I try to jam onto a train…
Weekend Photo Diary: Muni Metro Goes A-Whizzin’ By 07.03.09
Photo by Rick Audet from the Muni Photos Flickr pool
Found this photo in our Flickr account the other day. It touches off all sorts of geek nerves in me — from the suggestion of speed and motion to the wide-angle aspect and blurring of imagery. Great photo by Rick.
Well, nothing much going on this weekend. Ah, we kid. Hell, the weekend seemed to start early for most of you (not us!), so you’re probably reading this Sunday or Monday. Hope you enjoyed it.
If you’re still looking for things to do Saturday, the day the country we live in was born, look no further — SF Appeal has a great round-up.
Weather in the city should be mild by July standards. Go forth … on the fourth. [the sound of fellow Muni Diaries editors beating Jeff]

Belting It Out at the Church Station 05.18.09
This video came by the way of @kerouaconacid via Twitter of a lady belting out some serious tunes at the Church Muni station yesterday.
Wow. I suspect I sound just like that in the shower. Nice job capturing this candid performance, @kerouaconacid.
Got some video footage of Muni happenings? Email it to us at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com!
Spitting Princesses 04.23.09
To the girl who told off the flamboyant kid for spitting on the outbound train at the Church St. Station earlier this week, I’m sorry I said nothing in your defense.
To the flamboyant kid and his friend who decided to spit on the outbound train at Church St. Station after the girl told you it was inappropriate, and said that you didn’t care because it was like being on a sidewalk, if I ever see you do this again, I might just spit on you, or maybe even step on you, because that’s how I treat trash.

If you’ve got Muni or BART stories, especially ones that don’t involve spitting, send them our way.
