Tag: Things on Muni

Sure, there’s a lot of weird shit you see on Muni every day. But in a separate class all by themselves are the one-offs, the things you might experience only once, but things that will leave you scratching your head and saying (out loud or to yourself), “Only on Muni, man.” Indeed.

• these senior citizens on Muni look like they’re about to punch each other. “Why don’t you shut up,” said the bearded one
• I don’t even know where I’m going. I got on muni and I don’t wanna get off because I’m lazy to get up.
• On #SFMuni this morning I witnessed a really intense selfie photo-shoot…
• This 70+ year-old guy just walked on MUNI with a huge boner tent. Good for him.
• Saw a smashed burrito on the floor of the 45. Poured out some imaginary salsa for the fallen homie. #RIP

It’s not hard to say what makes San Francisco San Francisco; it just might take you awhile. Muni is definitely one of those things, in and of itself. But there is also the revolving cast of characters that make up the drama on wheels that is Muni.

• “I’ve never actually been to a Trader Joe’s, I’m such a Whole Foods person” OH #CaliforniaCablecar
• “I’m gonna pop my collar one time and test my pedigree.”
• Girl across from me is putting stye drops into her eye while on the bus… Is this safe? #muni #SafetyFirst
• #muni Woman taking up two seats on the M outbound is eating a corn dog. Good morning!
• Witnessing a serious flirting situation on the 38L. I’m rooting for them, gotta say. #SFMuni

Whether it’s animals, on-time buses, good music, or people flying their freak flags, it *is* possible for Muni to bring smiles to our faces.

• First bus arrived in one minute. Transfer bus in three minutes. I’m rocking #Muni on a Sunday schedule.
• Everyone was arguing on this #SFMuni train when suddenly a guy got on with an Iguana and everyone got happy again.
• Young man carrying the bottom half of a female mannequin on Muni #wtf #noneedtoknow
• Op! Go Your Own Way comes thru on the Fleetwood Mac shuffle! Head-bop has been deployed. #bopping #SFMuni
• He smiled. I smiled. He got off, I kept going. 🚌 #sfmuni

The talk of the town this week was all about that sleek new alternative to Muni as your chariot of choice (and affordability). What better way to show which transit system is clearly superior than our weekly celebration of shit that happens, you guessed it, #onlyonMuni?

• 7am on the bus heading to work & dude next to me just killed a 40. #MuniDiaries
• The scene in Breakfast Club where Ally Sheedy shakes her dandruff onto the table? Yeah, just watched someone do that. #SFMuni
• God damnit. I’m sitting next to the guy who always hand drums on #sfmuni
• OH on #SFMuni: “He’s super hot, even though he has bad, ‘done in prison’ #tattoos.” #SanFrancisco #Lockup
• This guy has on waaaay more bronzer than is necessary for SF. Dude, you’ve got stripper tan. #munidiaries

• As heard on #SFMuni “IM A NYMPHO, DONT GET ME WRONG HEH HEH BUUUUUT…”
• buttcracks and budweisers on the 22 outbound. Classic for so early!
• Why did you get on the 22 bus with an unpackaged sheet cake? Are you trying to turn the ride into a Disney caper?
• When the person obnoxiously playing music from their phone on #sfmuni IS SOMEONE YOU KNOW OMG SO EMBARRASSING
• Man in back of 27 just baa’d like a sheep. No apparent reason.

You guys sure are a creative lot. What better way to deal with the existential crisis that is our public transit, I ask?

• “Lord it’s too crowded, not just this bus. The whole damn world. People need to lighten up!” driver waxing poetic. #SFMuni
• The 38 is a earthquake test on wheels. Took awhile to even type this tweet. It’s more bumpin’ than a Lil Jon concert.
• I used to wash my hands after my #sfmuni #NJudah commute. Now, I take a shower and burn my clothes.
• Smelling like a dive bar is not cute. #Munidiaries
• #SFMuni haiku: Castro Street Station; The 35-Eureka; Overcrowded train.
