Simple request via art found on Muni
Grumpy (Shut Up! Please), 2013, Crayola marker and pencil on notebook paper
Art shows up in the strangest places, and you don’t have to be Banksy to pull it off. Says @spiegelmama:
“Bus floor art worthy of framing.”
Indeed. Is it supposed to be a nagging spouse? A judge? A teacher? In any case, I think this pathos-inducing piece is begging for your commentary and analysis on the state of humanity.
Are you on Muni? What’re you looking at? Tell us at @munidiaries like @spiegelmama did.
Muni Gladiators: Throwdown 2013

There’s an important score to settle here, folks, and we need your help.
Last week on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, we asked you:
Which line would win in a fight? (click links for diaries about that line)
No official tally has been taken yet, although we saw some creative and entertaining responses. Karen says, “The things I’ve seen in 14 cannot be unseen.” It’s fair to say that the 14-Mission leads the pack, with the 19-Polk perhaps a bus-length behind.
We cannot complete this survey without putting it to a vote here. So, tell us who you’re putting your money on. And if your answer is “other,” let us know which route you’d choose.
Go!
Cats selflessly lend their images to Muni rider’s shirt
Does this count as cats on Muni? As the ranking editor of cats-on-Muni this week, I say yes. Go ahead and make this your desktop wallpaper, I’ll wait.
Anyway, rider Kate spotted this in the wild, noting this “Muni rider takes fashion to the next level.”
I think my favorite one is that little ginger fella peeking over the gray one in repose.
Are there cats on Muni, you ask? You bet your ass there are cats on Muni. Peruse our Cute category for more heartwarming, less bodily fluid-y kinds of happenings on SF transit.

Maxin’ and relaxin’ on Muni
Or, as Muni rider Anzelmo wants to know, “What’s your story bro?” It’s probably a good one, right? I mean, are those his glasses?
Also, happy Monday. What’s your Muni story?
