And wouldya just lookee there. Many of them are about drinking and the hot, hot heat we suffered this weekend. Coincidence?
- To the dude drinking Steel Reserve in the back of the 8x at 7:45 in the morning on a Monday – I salute you.
- Drunk guy on Muni yelling random lyrics from Lorde songs. #onlyinSF
- So it’s 72 in SF (equivalent to the rest of the world’s 92) & #Muni has the heater on. #MuniIsTryingToKillUs
- The #19 bus is like the Mos Eisley of #SFMuni. I only wish I had Obi-Wan to escort me every morning. cc @starwars
- If the bus smells like if someone is eating fried chicken is most likely bc someone really is eating fried chicken
This week’s astute Muni observations were made by @taylormadeSF, @IvanVanderbyl, @LorenaBennett, @brendenguy, and @Zurib19. What’s happening on your Muni commute? Tell it to @munidiaries.

If you’re not at the beach right now, you’re probably tweeting about how hot it is in San Francisco today and the heatwave on the bus. Like these fine folks …
To the dude sweating profusely on Muni… I feel your pain bro.

Video: Self-image questioned on Muni
Sit right down and you’ll hear the tale of beloved Muni Diaries alum Jesse James (current holder of the Muni haiku champion belt) and how he went from niche Amazon order to AT&T Park and back home again. Hilarity and perhaps a life lesson or two ensue.
Jesse told his story on stage at Muni Diaries Live in early April. Catch up on all the MDL action over the years. You won’t be sorry.
On sale now: Muni toilet seat cover
We are not even a little bit kidding about this. This eBay post features a vintage 1960s toilet seat emblazoned with a vintage Muni logo.
The posting is titled, “Vintage 1960’s San Francisco Muni Solid Wood Toilet Seat for Cable Car Riders,” though I am not sure why cable car riders need a special toilet seat. The item description reads:
“I left my heart in San Francisco” Vintage SF Muni toilet seat with lid / cover. Solid wood construction. Mounting hardware including rubber washers is part of the set.
Shows little wear for its age. Some fading of color in spots. No cracks, checks or splits.
Pretty standard toilet seat dimensions. Seat Measures approx. 15″ x 15 1/2″, 15” x 16 ½” to center line of mounting bolts. Lid 13” x 13 ½”Would make a great CONVERSATION PIECE.
Looks like someone out there might be leaving more than their heart …
Bidding starts at $100, or you can buy this conversation piece right now for $135.
Hella cosmetics on the 14-Mission
Muni rider Daisy saw something, said something. Here’s what she saw, said:
I was taking the 14 to downtown and saw this man pulling hundreds of freshly stolen cosmetic items out of every pocket, cuff, sleeve, pant leg, etc. and putting them in a large green duffle bag. From the packaging, it looked like he had stolen from Walgreens… maybe in the Excelsior where I got on? After watching for several minutes, I walked up to the driver and told him that I wanted to report suspicious activity but the driver ignored me and acted like he didn’t know what I was saying. I even pointed the guy out to the driver and he acted like he couldn’t do anything about it. Doesn’t Muni have an announcement every fucking minute to report any suspicious or dangerous activity???
Yes, Daisy, they do. You done right.
Think twice next time you buy your mascara on the streets, guys.
