The moon over my shoulder on Muni
Via Gary Whitta, who says, “I often see people on my Twitter feed complaining about their fellow bus patrons. It is to them that I present this.” Do you think she has any idea? I don’t.
Happy Monday!
Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

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.

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:
You laugh, but something tells me this works sometimes. Picture it: a crowded commute-hour Metro train, and not one person sits here because of the message.
Instagram photographer @dusteallen asks, “A fair Muni warning?”
Well, is it?

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
