Your place to share stories on and off the bus.

@tomcarmony found some next-level sleeping on Muni Metro, and we wish there was a photo to go with his evocative description and, um, how-to:
I never realized you could just lay down on the floor of a Muni train, across the full width of the car, and just go to sleep. Good to know!
Aisle-horizontal is brave, though arguably more polite than, oh, taking up seats. Where do they think they are, Japanese transit?
Get your Muni Bingo cards ready, folks!

Do we have a winner?

Friend of Muni Diaries Sonia is “really embarrassed,” you guys. Here’s her story:
“I knew I deserved the ticket. I totally deserved it! I was so ashamed of myself. I always pay on Muni. Always. I was going to pay this time. I had the $2 in my right hand. But I didn’t pay because I was drunk, and I wanted a few more minutes to chat with my friends.”
Friends, or accomplices? Sonia promises to be an upstanding citizen and purchase a Clipper Card. Attagirl!

You know you’ve wanted to say scream this more than twice on the bus, or just walking around town. Maybe add a “damn” between “your” and “pants” or something.

American Grilled Cheese Kitchen’s move into the old Cafe Gratitude spot is probably my favorite food coup of last year. What I mean is, I am grateful for melted sharp cheddar, artisan cured ham, rosemary butter, and real bread. And anyone who puts mac and cheese inside a grilled cheese sandwich is a madman who wins a spot in my Top 8. This Saturday, you could win American Grilled Cheese Kitchen‘s delicious melty cheesy goodies if you tell your own two-minute Muni story at Muni Diaries Live!
