Sometimes I think Muni is our collective living room. But other times, people just get way too comfortable, as these five Muni moments of the week demonstrate. Important life question: How do you even measure the speed of kegels by bpm?

  1. Overheard on Muni this week: “My special talent is doing kegels at 180bpm. My record so far …11 minutes.”
  2. Another important question: Would it be inappropriate to wipe the lil smudge of shaving cream off this older Zach Efron lookalike’s face?
  3. A poor Muni rider had to changed seats on the 43 because the chick in the next seat kept smelling her hair like a Fabreeze commercial. (What shampoo do you use?)
  4. Girl at Muni stop smoking e-cigarette and blowing wisps of pomegranate or apple fumes billowing in this direction. Kind of nice.
  5. A man just cleaned his pitbulls earwax out on the K-outbound. You know. Whatevs. No big deal.

This week’s Muni moments were brought to you by @smiffleblurf, @ten_is_ha, @happysara89, @keaneiscool, and @mschung. What’s your Muni moment this week? Tweet it at @munidiaries and let’s blow up the party talk!

How Does Muni Handle Medical Emergencies in Tunnels?

What should you (and SFMTA) do when there is a medical emergency on the train that’s in a tunnel? A rider sent in a story of witnessing a man who started to have a seizure on the train. But the train was stopped in the tunnel in what seemed like a perfect storm of a situation. From the eyewitness:

I am writing about an incident that occurred on a San Francisco Muni Metro train. I was a passenger on an Inbound L train a few minutes after 10am on Thursday, May 9th, 2013.

Around this time, a passenger in the front car experienced a medical emergency, fell out of his seat and landed face-first in the aisle. At the time, our train was stopped in the tunnel between Church station and Van Ness station. I rushed to the driver compartment to alert the driver we needed immediate medical assistance, while two other passengers knelt over the man on the floor. The man on the floor began to have a seizure.

To blab on Muni, or not to blab on Muni?

It’s one of those unspoken rules, right? Stand to the right on escalators, let people out of the elevator (or bus or train) before you enter, slower cars to the right, no talking during the morning commute. Or is it?

@davidbicha boasts of a “TwitterWar” he recently waged:

Mini TwitterWar today! I stand by it: there’s an unspoken no-blabbing-during-morning-commute agreement.

We combed Muni Manners for the expert take on this important question, but our search came up empty. I have my personal feelings, but I’d rather know how you feel.

So, dear Muni rider: What do you think about excessive talking during the morning commute on Muni?
