Your place to share stories on and off the bus.
As loverlykiki on Instagram says, “Put your best foot forward.” Especially on Muni, when half the time we end up staring at our own feet or others’ feet.
Props to loverlykiki for sharing an important message, and props to this phat skateboard deck. Could it be half of an original Santa Cruz Screaming Foot?
File this one under “things being where they’re not supposed to be.”
Via the Muni Diaries Facebook page, Muni rider Jack sends this:
Hey Muni Diaries, my brother sent me this photo of a J-Church Breda car that accidentally turned right onto Market yesterday. It makes you wonder—after the new trains come, will the Bredas be historical F-line material?
Today becomes tomorrow’s yesterday. Or something.
Whoa, it’s a brand-new Muni stop that’s spotless and, dare I say, cozy?
LOL, of course it’s not real, you guys.
h/t Muni enthusiast Thea, who spotted it in the Lower Haight and says it’s a prop from the filming of Girlboss, a Netflix series based on a memoir by Sophia Amoruso.
Oh, the intersection of Real San Francisco — can you imagine a 22-Fillmore emptying at this little shelter? — and Fake San Francisco from the tee-vee, which is usually not much of an intersection at all. Remember HBO’s Looking?
But look ma, we’re on TV!
Ever find yourself standing at a Muni stop, thinking (as you do) about California and how cool it is? And then you look over and see that a bench was vandalized to better highlight the Yay Area?
Spotted, dorkily, at the 30-Stockton/45-Union-Stockton stop by the Stockton Tunnel.
Muni loves you — and, apparently, accurate representations of its home state geography.
Consider yourself warned, NYC subway masturbators.
One lady — my hero — has no time for in-transit self love. Among other vicious, verbal lashings contained in the video above, she asks (rightly): “Sitting here rubbing on your penis, are you serious?”
Watch the whole damn thing. Over and over again.
Public masturbation is absolutely no bigs to some folks, and sometimes, people are cool with that. Sometimes they’re not, and the police will come looking for your ass: Like when the so-called Muni Humper went around rubbing his bits on ladies on the N-Judah.
So, keep it together, folks. As Muni Diaries Live alum Tara De Moulin put it so eloquently to song:
Creepy guy’s crotch just brushed my side
For the 27th time
Hey, it’s not that bumpy a ride
Get a magazine if you’re horny
This sign on Muni is pretty much the equivalent of nails on a chalkboard for the punctuation-inclined (otherwise known as civilized people). Via @julesforrest on Twitter, who said: “Type crimes of Muni, quotation marks edition.”
It’s hard to know where to start with this “warning” sign: the existence of quotation marks, the not-so-smart quote, or the underline? Well, don’t worry, it’s just a “warning.”
The right quotation marks (or comma, in this case) make the world go ’round. Got your own Muni pet peeve? Send it our way @munidiaries on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram.
