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.

You know how it is. You get out of work or leave the house late, and you have to put your face on in transit. A personal favorite is one-handed penciling of your bottom lids (you know what I’m talking about).

We’ve seen pretty serious Caboodles on the bus before, and one lady on the 5-Fulton apparently does it every damn day. But this phenomenon reaches new, perfectly lined heights on the K-Ingleside, via My Muni on Tumblr.

This makes me think of what the Muni board game might look like. Maybe the object is to drive as many buses as you can all at the same time, a feat even SFMTA struggles with at times.

Via our friend at Tenderloin Geographic Society, who says, “it’s a manual for operators…and I’m willing to bet their manuals look a whole lot more clinical than this now. Charming, isn’t it?”

TGS spotted this at the SFPL’s “Cussed and Discussed” exhibit on Muni’s centennial celebration, which ends Thursday.
