Four Weird Things People Did on Muni This Week

Between you and me: I can’t wait to get old and just let it all hang out, act as weird as I want to be. You know, floss at the dinner table, tell the kids to get off my lawn, that kind of thing. But some people aren’t waiting to get old to be weird. Here are four of them, spotted on Muni this week.
1. Guy on the N is waving his hands at me like he’s putting a spell on me. I shouldn’t be worried, right? Right? – @e_gadd
2. Dude on #38 alternating between singing 80s hits and quoting the Bible ALOUD. Like a battle of God vs. Cindy Lauper – @loveoz13

NYC Subway shark lives life hard

Living in a big city, you come into contact with plenty of people you might describe as sharks. But you don’t exactly expect to see the real thing on a subway.
That’s exactly what happened in New York City earlier this week when subway riders found a small shark left upside down beneath a seat. Later in the day, photos of the shark surfaced on Gothamist, upright, and posing with a transit pass, Red Bull, and cigarette.
We don’t expect to see any sharks on Bay Area transit anytime soon, but it made us wonder: Does this trump a live chicken on Muni?
Just in time for Shark Week, too.
Left Behind on Muni: A week of meds
Bummer, cuz, uh, you know, that there. Yeah. Bummer. Unless the pill box just wanted to go on an excursion.
It’s no ear of corn or lonely snack. But still.
