lost my pants and my wallet one night. Month later a homeless guy brought it to me saying was on 5-Fulton

100 Muni StoriesScrew Fashion Week. The latest fashion trends can be spotted on Muni, as a sharp-eyed Twitter correspondent observes.

@SheEatsWell: There’s a guy on my bus rocking a headband. And he looks good. Oh #dirtythirty #sfmuni #100MuniStories

Disclaimer: That’s an older photo of another guy rocking a headband on Muni and possibly not the same guy rocking the headband on Muni in @SheEatsWell’s tweet. But I think this young man is also wearing his headband with lots of swagger.

100 Muni StoriesWe’ve seen our share of lost and found stories on Muni Diaries over the years. This one is technically only a “lost,” or so it would seem. @shanghaijim tweeted it:

“Did someone forget their G-string on the steps of the N early this morning? It’s on its way back downtown.”

The “G-String” should be a new Muni route, right?

What kind of shoe, I wonder? And are we talking M&Ms or mashed potatoes?

Counting Down 100 Days, 100 Muni Stories

Muni turns 100 this year, and we want to celebrate it with your Muni stories in our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories” project! You might remember the cool prize for this story drive: Submit a Muni story in the next 100 days and a portion of your story can end up on a bus ad.

For 100 days this summer, you can go our 100 Muni Stories page to see new stories in the running for getting their own advertisement inside the bus. We’ve combed through your submissions and tweets, plus some that we think deserve some props. At the end of the 100 days, we’ll be choosing quotes from the best of the best to appear on ads inside all Muni buses.

Today’s “100 Muni Stories” submission comes from David Gray, who remembers the 55-Sacramento and how its passengers had to help the bus get up steep San Francisco hills.

We’re still taking submissions for the centennial birthday celebration, so send your stories our way and remember to tag it #100MuniStories.
