Muni Is My Closet

A man carrying all his freshly laundered clothes from the dry cleaner boarded the 27-Bryant last week, casually hung them all on the hand rail like no big deal, and sat down to continue his cell phone convo. Riders Karoline and Mike snapped some pictures of the rider, making himself at home on Muni. Thanks, Karoline and Mike! (click images to embiggen them)

p.s. As a commenter asked, I meant to say that I found this to be a really cute and amusing sighting about urban living – I was on the bus with Mike and Karoline, and this totally made us smile. What do you know, it’s not snark here 24-7, and a lot of times the stuff that happens on the bus makes me love living in an urban city even more.
