Muni as Underwear Delivery Vehicle

May 24, 2012 jeff 3 comments

We’ve seen our share of lost and found stories on Muni Diaries over the years. This one is technically only a “lost,” or so it would seem. @shanghaijim tweeted it:

“Did someone forget their G-string on the steps of the N early this morning? It’s on its way back downtown.”

The “G-String” should be a new Muni route, right?

The Copenhagen Philharmonic puts on a flash-mob style concert for commuters in what just might be the most pleasant subway ride ever. Seriously, why can’t Muni sound this good?

Real, honest-to-goodness Muni is found just as easily in 140 characters as it is in 1,400. To whit:

@alleekate418: On the T watching a man eat something out of his shoe.

What kind of shoe, I wonder? And are we talking M&Ms or mashed potatoes?

More Muni experiences await your eyeballs — check out the rest in our “100 Days, 100 Muni Stories Muni” celebration. And we still want to hear from you; send us your stories today, ’cause the best ones will be excerpted on a real-life Muni bus ad.

Sometimes, Muni is a place where common courtesy and everyday decency happen. Take for instance this lovely tweet from @nfluxx:

License fell out of wallet getting on muni. man found it, returned it within 5 min and before I got off.

At least the wheels didn’t come off?

Hey, Muni, you got something, uh, hanging off … right there. No, to the left. No, a little more to the right. There it is.

Camera-ready Christopher sent us this dispatch of a one-car (minus one door) N-Judah:

…some photos of the door that went flying off mid-route that caused yesterdays inbound delay. After they kicked everyone off at Van Ness station, the train then slowly creeped back through the station with the door having been pulled off and sitting in the middle of the carriage. I wish I had gotten a photo of that!

Don’t sell yourself short, Christopher. This is very Hulk Smash to me.
