Muni moments that (almost) make it all worth it

It’s no secret. Muni Diaries exists because we believe in the entertainment and joy that can be gleaned from an otherwise mundane (at best) or frustrating (at worst) experience. To wit:

  • Little girl ~6 yo parodying Muni “please hold on” saying “hold on for what?” to the tune of a popular inappropriate song
  • Our #SFMuni driver sounds like Barry White, which is awesome considering how short she is.
  • guy at #SFmuni stop doing extremely precise liquid dance to headphones music in a storefront reflection, and it’s very good
  • Dude next to me has @PopeyesChicken on the bus and IT SMELLS SO GOOD. #sfmuni
  • “You gotta wait til you 40 to date, then date 3 years, then get married.” advice from dude on #SFMuni while on the phone

If those tweets don’t force the corners of your mouth up just a little bit, we cannot help you.

This week’s Things on Muni was brought to you by @AshMcD00, @pinkopaque22, @boursier, @cherilusive, and @DaneYoshida. Follow us on Twitter and share your Muni musings.

The Most San Francisco Illustration Ever

Ed. note: The artist was just so proud of his work–and he should be–that he put it up on Instagram before it was ready for its intended publication! We’ve swapped it out at his request for some more of his Muni-themed work, and we’ll be keeping an eye on his page for more.

Original post:
This is pretty much the most San Francisco illustration ever. We’ve got Laughing Sal from the Musée Mécanique, Doggie Diner doghead, Piedmont Boutique stockinged legs, Green Apple Books guy, and Lou Seal. To top it all off, they’re all riding Muni together. Thanks to @danbransfield on Instagram for posting this!

#OnlyonMuni contest winner, and other assorted Muni LOLs

For this Saturday’s Muni Diaries Live, we decided to hold a contest that basically celebrated what this whole thing is all about: Those moments, the sights, sounds, and yes, the smells, that happen “only on Muni.” We asked you to use the hashtag #OnlyonMuni for a chance to win two front-row seats to the show. Today, we’re happy to announce that the winner of those coveted seats is your fellow Muni rider Maggie Ann Glover.

Here’s Maggie’s winning* tweet:

“Once, on the 48, a woman asked me to hold her baby so she didn’t spill her hot coffee. And I did it. #OnlyonMuni

I mean, right?

Honorable mention #OnlyonMuni tweets include:

“I can assure you that we’re all having a better Monday morning than the guy on my bus chugging vodka. #OnlyonMuni #10am” by @ariananicolay

“38 Geary this morning: Guy gets on the bus eating a bowl of cereal! Full on ceramic bowl and metal spoon too! #OnlyonMuni” by @VerifyInField

Just because the contest is over doesn’t mean you should stop using the tag or tweeting your best Muni moments. We’re always on the lookout over on the Muni Diaries Twitter page.

And we still have a few advance tickets for Saturday’s show available. Act quickly!
