Five noteworthy things that happened on the bus this week:

Sometimes the jokes write themselves, especially if you’re on Muni. “Crack head, a hooker and a magenta-stained poodle get on the bus…” No really: just saw this on the 44-O’Shaughnessy. Meanwhile, a guy wearing those Google Glasses got on Muni this week. Wonder if he saw the old guy softly playing harmonica on the bus, or the beautiful baritone singer singing in Italian on the 49-Van Ness. This week a rider put a new spin on the grooming practices on the bus: a woman was applying foot lotion on Muni. Nail clipping on the bus is so…2010.

Five Lovelorn Muni Riders Want To Know If You’re The One

If you’re still secretly wishing you had a date for Valentine’s Day (but publicly denouncing the Hallmark-esque insincerity of the holiday itself), I found five great San Francisco singles for you. These guys and girls are environmentally conscious, technology savvy, financially responsible, with sensitive writerly souls.

Oh, all right. These are bus riders who wrote Craigslist missed connection ads. But hey, with less than 24 hours until doomsday, this is no time to be picky. We didn’t correct grammar or punctuation mistakes in the ads because…I think that’s pertinent information you need to know.

So if you’re looking for a last-minute date, especially if you are the girl who wore black and white snowflake skirts and tights (or if you’re the girl who bought a painting and gave the dude a fake phone number), you might be the one they’re looking for!

Here are our Muni-riding singles:

Matt got it all down:

A nicely dressed 40-something woman is riding Muni talking into her phone.

“Listen, I’m trying to move blocks around and schedule meetings.”

[…] <— that means she's listening to words I can't hear, because that's how phones work. "Just how much coffee have you had?" […] "Just what exactly are you seeing?" […] "Listen, I'm trying to win us a vacation to Greece and Taiwan. Honey, I'm going to get us on that boat. Greece… and Taiwan!” Read more

What happened on Muni this week? Kai the chocolatier rode the 22-Fillmore with a backpack full of 15 pounds of cooked bacon, which made the bus smell like bacon. In related delicious smells, a woman’s bag broke on the 1-California, and a bottle of maple syrup shattered on the floor. Elsewhere, Sara was reading a textbook for her Emerging Diseases class while riding Muni and diagnosed some likely cases around her. “I like your haircut, but you should dye it,” a stranger said to an unassuming woman with a salt and pepper pixie cut.

And finally, here’s a song relating to an important Muni etiquette:
“Close, close, close your legs/when you ride the bus/Verily, verily, verily, verily/your junk can’t be THAT large.”

This week’s Muni moments are from @noshthis, @bozzygoestowork, @happysara89, @dewright07, and @CAwkward.
