Autocorrect, Muni-style
We’ve all been there, clumsily communicating with thumbs (literally). At the end of the day, it’s always best to sit back and laugh at our ridiculous lives.

Seven Halloween costumes seen on Muni
Photo by alespm05
We’re taking a slight detour from our normal Friday afternoon offering of Five Things on Muni today. You’re just such a clever, creative bunch, we couldn’t resist posting our favorite Halloween costumes as seen the day after.
The bears above are a great example. Miley Cyrus lost her dancers, errybody! Below, there’s a bespectacled bunny doctor (?); everyone’s favorite bounty hunter, Boba Fett; the world’s creepiest clown; bat-reptile man (?); creepy human-size chicken; and of course, the 30-Stockton and its driver.
Enjoy your fellow Muni riders and your weekend!

The Next Day: Left Behind on Muni
Via Muni rider Cynthia: “Trick or treat? Guy just hurried out of the back of the #5L and left behind corn. No, seriously, corn.”
Halloween on Muni and BART

Ah, Halloween. Shutting down the annual party in the Castro did nothing to dampen the spirits of San Francisco adults who dress up this day as though they don’t dress up any of the other 364 days each year. Enjoy!

A Flower Grows on Muni
Are you a glass-half-empty type? Of course you are. You live in San Francisco. You ride Muni. You have company.
But even for the most cynical among us, this submission from Muni rider D is cute, fluffy, and vaguely hopeful:
“As I was riding home on an outbound 38 Geary yesterday I glanced out the window and spotted this rather unusual ‘tag.'”
Maybe it was fertilized by, well, never mind.
Muni Metro lines personified
Your Muni route is totally a person. A flawed, wonderful, terrible, smelly person full of flaws and smelly people. But dependable, ultimately. Right?
Julian of Seismogenic has taken that idea hella steps forward. He conjured the characters you see above to represent Muni Metro’s seven lines.
The T-Third and the K-Ingleside. They’re that couple. You know the one. Attached at the hip, refer to themselves as “we” and never “I,” really need to get a room that’s more private than West Portal. The K is spastic and erratic and generally nuts, with a bit of an evil streak. The T is used to dealing with a lot of mayhem, so he can handle the K’s neuroses most of the time. He’s generally pretty chill in the face of everything, unless there is baseball, at which point he flips his shit too.
OMG, they are “that couple.”
Check out the rest of Julian’s descriptions at his Tumblr.
