Muni rider Brian says, “Next time you see this, catch a damn cab. Unless you want to be an hour late, that is.”

When you see people sleeping on #muni, do you ever just want to wake them up? — @faernworks
sometimes i like to sit behind them and make a loud screech then smack the window real loud. Hilarity ensues. — @Jonathanstack
AHHH no way! i like to cough really loud- but that has multiple benefits… — @faernworks
OH! thats a good one too! makes me want to bust out my spray bottle and “sneeze” — @Jonathanstack
oh that’s just gross! i’ll call you out if i catch you doing that one 😉 — @faernworks
See what fun awaits when you follow Muni Diaries on Twitter?
Muni has teamed up with X-tian wackos in promoting Judgment Day, also known as The Rapture. It is due to occur next month.
Mark your calendars, everyone.
