Umbrella-sitter claims your seat on Muni Metro

Muni rider Aaron has this report from the weekend:

“This woman is either paranoid about the rain, or has the best strategy to get a full bench to herself”

I’m thinking it has to be the same person featured here on Muni Diaries back in 2011. Muni rider Katie had the background on the story then.

That black umbrella was not deployed to deflect rain from Muni’s leaking tunnels or even to stave off the threat of being sucked out an open door in the tunnel. It was there to separate a woman and her feet from the likes of me.

Of Muni, Looking, and (literal) beards

[Insert snappy commentary about HBO’s Looking here]

No, someone do it, ’cause I’ve got nothing. Thankfully, in perhaps its most San Francisco-est post possible*, BuzzFeed ranked the beards on this HBO show about gay life in the city, and we hear some of those handsome beards are riding Muni. It is obviously my duty as your editor to tune in and spend an exorbitant amount of time on this topic.

#12 features some hot Muni Metro action, guest starring Muni Diaries Live alum and BuzzFeed editor Isaac Fitzgerald. We have enjoyed this beard for years.

#2 is Richie, whose beard is a little patchy for my taste, but check out that strangely pristine transit vehicle. Mee-ow. Oh, A+ on the Giants hat, Richie.

* Despite its criminal use of “the” with Muni.

Please recognize that this is merely a snapshot, a moment in time. Namely, it’s the five best Muni flavors this week. There are infinite flavors, of course. We see and taste them every day. There will be subsequent reports of additional flavors as time goes on.

For now, enjoy these:

  • man on the 19 Polk has a chihuahua with a pacifier in its mouth. I am simultaneously annoyed and delighted #Muni
  • The theme of today’s bus ride is ” having a psychotic episode while picking bugs from my head” . #SFMuni
  • Guy sitting next to me on #muni has a smartphone, earbuds, but no shoes.
  • If you know how to deactivate the magnet that attracts drunk homeless dudes to me on the 49, I’d love to hear #Muni
  • Drunk dude on the N rapping about how he isn’t drunk. #sfmuni #neveradullmoment

These five things on Muni were brought you to my fellow riders @lfagundes77, @yayneabeba, @barry_buck, @rachelshpionka, and @shaughnessy_k8.
