Bad Eggs of the Teenage Variety on Muni

We threw this in the WTF: Weirdness on Muni category, but it’s not so much weirdness as what theeeee fuck. Via submitter “Ms. Over It,” we remember and wish everyone taught their kids to be good people, even when said kids get chest-puffy with their friends.

This story, unfortunately has it all: the worst of teen-on-woman harassment, theft, and what sounds like a lot of other scared passengers who sat on their hands.

I boarded the L train inbound at Taraval and 25th ave. yesterday evening after work. At the next stop a group of 6 or 7 teen boys boarded bringing foul language and disregard with them. They fought among each other, hogged multiple seats relaying emasculating phrases and homophobic accusations in the highest sound volume…this continued all the way to Forest Hill Station. When I departed the train I thought I was done with that ruckus but to my dismay the boys departed the train as well. We all boarded the elevator with a couple of other random people and half way up they hit the emergency stop button causing the elevator to jolt to a stop. They laughed and pushed each other around then hit the up button and the elevator began moving again, we were almost to the top when they did it again! I let out a frustrated sigh as I have a fear of falling and glanced at the other 2 adults on the elevator whom were also showing annoyance which I think the boys picked up on.

Muni rider Chale has further proof that you never know what you’ll experience when riding around town.

On the N-Judah, a mother and daughter came up to me and said they were admiring my shoes from afar. I told them one of my secrets: second-hand stores have some of the best designer dress-up heels and these are one of my favorite pairs, and they started laughing saying they totally agree.

Suddenly, a Goodwill truck passed by us and the mom yelled for it to stop so we could rob it. The daughter, who is in her 20s, was wearing a great pair of huge dark sunglasses, which I told her that I loved, and she lifted them up to show me a huge purple shiner on her right eye. This is why I’m wearing these, she says, its a cheerleading accident gone wrong. We all laugh and I tell her she still looks hot and possibly hotter with the black eye because it makes her look tough.

The station agents at Civic Center have really useful advice for those of you who are partying with your blunt or caught without your pants while waiting for the train. Rachel F overheard the following announcement:

“Sir, please put your pants back on, unless you want to put them on in jail.”

Followed by: “All Muni custodians, please report to the Powell Station. ALL Muni custodians.”

Just another totally normal day, of course.

Muni’s latest upgrade to its many bus shelters was met with widespread outrage. Rightly so, given the new shelters’ inability to, well, shelter.

Now via Muni rider Randy comes a collection of transit shelters from around the world that blow Muni shelters out of the water. File under: Why Can’t We Have Nice Things?*

Read the rest of the post at Dark Roast Blend to see more neat transit shelters.

* I know the answer to this.
