This week’s top Muni moments feature a Christmas tie. It’s not too soon, is it?

  1. Do you think the 38 drivers feel inferior to the 38L drivers when they get passed by them on O’farrell?
  2. The look on people’s faces when they realize they got on an express bus by mistake.
  3. There is a man on the 49 wearing a necktie with a bold Christmas tree motif. ‘Tis the season!
  4. A man on Muni playing music from his phone just dropped it and it fell apart. Music man 0 – everyone else 1.
  5. I was pretty convinced the toddler behind me shat on the N-Judah. Then I saw the woman eating tuna.

This week’s top five Muni moments were brought to you by @krystaelaine, @harpersfinest, @kitzerkoo, @lamelsauceda, and @annedcamp. Got your own Muni moment? Tweet it to us at @munidiaries!

People collect things. It’s one of the things people do. It’s fun, and sometimes borders on sickness.

Grace collects things she overhears in San Francisco. She alerted us to the special room in her house of overheards: Overheard on Muni. Naturally, we bought in.

A sampling:

“The stabbing was reported at 7:08 p.m. near Eddy and Taylor streets, where the driver had pulled over his 31-Balboa bus after a passenger said someone on board had a knife, police spokesman Officer Gordon Shyy said.”
