Missed Connection with N-Judah photobomber

n judah photo bomb by rachel

N-Judah rider Rachel was framing that perfect candid Instagram photo on the Muni platform (you know, rule of thirds in a perfect square, yada yada) when this guy in the train decided to wave hello. Our hearts stopped because this is just the kind of dorky cute gesture that romcoms should be made of.

From Rachel:

Missed Connection: We locked eyes at Powell Station last week as I attempted to take an Instagram-worthy picture of the crowded N-Judah. You photo-bombed my candid and I blushed. You could have been my best friend. We could have shared a pizza or laughed about old times over IPAs or discussed House Of Cards or gone to Fort Funston. But now all we have is this cropped memory.

Dear photobomber, who are you?

‘Only on Muni’ head-scratchers

things10

Sure, there’s a lot of weird shit you see on Muni every day. But in a separate class all by themselves are the one-offs, the things you might experience only once, but things that will leave you scratching your head and saying (out loud or to yourself), “Only on Muni, man.” Indeed.

  • these senior citizens on Muni look like they’re about to punch each other. “Why don’t you shut up,” said the bearded one
  • I don’t even know where I’m going. I got on muni and I don’t wanna get off because I’m lazy to get up.
  • On #SFMuni this morning I witnessed a really intense selfie photo-shoot…
  • This 70+ year-old guy just walked on MUNI with a huge boner tent. Good for him.
  • Saw a smashed burrito on the floor of the 45. Poured out some imaginary salsa for the fallen homie. #RIP

If Emperor Norton rides Muni, so can you

This dapper fellow is none other than Norton I, Emperor of the United States, original champion of “a bridge crossing and a tunnel to be built under San Francisco Bay.”

Actually, the dude in the photo leads Emperor Norton’s Fantastic San Francisco Time Machine, a walking tour of our fair city. We love that modern-day Norty takes Muni. We have to imagine that the OE would’ve taken public transit also.

h/t Muni rider Sharon Steuer: “Only in #SanFrancisco: Riding the #Muni bus with #EmperorNorton on his iPhone.”

The true face of waiting in the rain for Muni

We’d been holding onto this one since the last time it rained. Yeah, we don’t remember exactly when that was, either.

In any case, Muni rider Bitter Giants Fan graciously shared this with the Intertubes. “Nobody is happy waiting for #SFMuni in this rain…”

Correct!

Elderly pineapple gets its own seat on Muni

Until they have a formal lobby fighting for their rights, what are senior citizen pineapples supposed to do?

Via Poloroid SF: “Won’t you please give this seat to the elderly or disabled or a pineapple.”

Big Bird and the Easter Bunny wait patiently for Muni

We’re guessing that zombie Jesus wasn’t available to accompany the Easter Bunny this year like he was back in 2012.

Via Muni rider Frankie: “On our way to grab lunch this afternoon. Birds ride the [sic] Muni just like the rest of us too.”
