I suppose it depends on your point of view. Some of these could be positive experiences. If so, good on ya. I guess?
- It smells like poop on this bus. #goodmorning #yuck
- Look lady, I’m sry that yr bag had to give up its seat so a human being could use it, but you need to get over it. #SFMuni
- Munifears: seemingly irrational fears you have riding the bus, like someone ‘accidentally’ sitting in your lap #sfmuni
- I don’t know what’s worse, that my #SFMuni driver is on the phone, or that it’s on speaker for us all to hear.
- 22-Fillmore stalled while woman enlists help of strangers to carry her 9 Starbucks drinks. This a social science experiment?

Of boxers, fishnets, legs, backpacks, and fanny packs on Muni

Lots of things falling off, being complimented, opening, hitting people on the head, and just generally being worn by tourists this week. Behold:
- guy on #sfmuni w/pants sagging so low you can see the end of his boxers. He sat down and the pants fell to his ankles.
- On the 14, man next to me got up, complimented my fishnets, patted my arm, then accidentally bonked me on the head. #Sfmuni
- Overheard on the 14 “BACKDOOR! BACKDOOR! My legs open easier than these doors” #backdoor #munisf
- how many times do you need to be hit in the head while seated by a backpack wearer on muni to start a bad day?
- Surrounded by tourists wearing fanny packs who got on the wrong bus. It’s officially summer

Peter Hartlaub finds transit utopia on the 77X-Candlestick
According to Peter, what does it take for the perfect transit experience? A rad destination and open-container boozing on the bus, of course.
SF Chronicle columnist Peter Hartlaub graced the stage at Muni Diaries Live this April with tales of frozen turkey/bologna sandwiches, screensavers, and mullet’d Muni drivers. Who wouldn’t want to freeze the moment on their last Muni ride to Candlestick Park?
Muni Diaries Live is our twice-a-year live storytelling event at the Elbo Room. We’ll be back this fall with another great lineup and riotously hilarious Muni stories.
Should this happen on Muni?

We all have our ideas of right and wrong. And those norms don’t take a back seat when we ride Muni. Nor should they.
Here are some questionable things seen and smelled on Muni this week:
- A woman just crawled on the streetcar with an open tallboy of Old English. Happy Monday! #MuniDiaries
- On the 33 line and for the first time, saw a driver curse out a passenger!
- Old woman dressed entirely in black on #sfmuni brushing the hair of a creepy doll. Quota for the macabre, fulfilled.
- Someone pooped on the bus during my morning commute. #sfmuni
- man picks nose. smears findings on bus wall. my stomach… #munidiaries

Bored kid in Russia appoints himself bus driver, takes off with vehicle

Photo via Daily Star
A kid in Russia decided to steal a bus last month and take it on a joyride around town. Unsatisfied with tagging, rock throwing, or whatever it is eight-year-old boys do on their lunch break at school, Andrey Grimov stole the bus when the driver left the keys in the ignition to go on a break.
According to the U.K.’s Daily Star, the boy drove the bus through a hedge, a field, and across a lawn in Veliky Novgorod, before taking it out on the road. Police eventually stopped him by setting up a roadblock. According to the boy’s mother, Andrey said he was bored and looking for an ‘adventure.’
We seem to recall something like this has happened before in San Francisco in the days before Muni Diaries was around. Anyone remember the details?
