Yoga mat rides shotgun on Muni

Muni rider Lauren has some strong words for the owner of this yoga mat: “Douchebag yogi alert on the 22. Because your yoga mat paid the $2 just like the rest of us, yeah?”
Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

From the sounds of these tweets, he’s either the actual World’s Most Interesting Man, or just your average dime store jerk. Who are we to decide?
First, Muni rider Shelby caught our eye:
There is a dude on the 28L with a Transformers movie logo tattooed on his forehead, talking about how he wants fake k9 teeth. @munidiaries

Then, friend of Muni Diaries, Katie, chimed in:
@munidiaries @ShelbyTerissa that guy!! he’s screamed at me on the N for no reason. Good times

In connection with the city of killjoy’s nudity ban, this group tried to board the F-Market/Wharves over the weekend, specifically on quite possibly the jerkiest streetcar in the fleet.
Also, not one courtesy ass-towel among them? Gym rules apply, folks.

Things that make you go “huh” and bonus Muni-operator kudos, via Muni rider Vicki:
“At about 10:30 am the other day, on the Outbound 6, at Haight and Buena Vista West: Delusional guy next to me is fondling a “tool” with a 12″ blade, caressing it lovingly for 10 minutes. The new driver, a woman and her trainer, a man, unbeknownst to me, had the whole thing totally handled. A motorcycle cop boarded and smoothly talked this disturbed guy off of the bus, without a problem. I think the bus # was 5417, not sure, but they were all on it! Kudos to that trainer who very coolly pretended to ignore the guy so as not to incite him.”
First of all, so rarely does “fondling,” “tool,” and “caressing” show up in the same submission without it meaning the other thing. And so rarely does anything with a 12-inch blade go well for anyone on a Muni bus. Well done, driver and trainer for spotting a potential problem before it became a real problem.
Hey, guess what, Vicki posted this on the Muni Diaries Facebook page. Aren’t you totally inspired to post your own story, whether it involves tool fondling or some other eyebrow-raising activity? Yeah, I am basically trying to get “tool fondling” into this post as much as possible because I’m 12 years old.

As with their human counterparts, dogs on Muni aren’t always on their best behavior. Muni rider Roman has the report:
“This girl traveling inbound to Castro on the M line freaked out and hoped no one saw as her dog relieved itself on the tram.”
For shame, little pooch. For shame!
