Yes. Putting Muni on your Christmas tree.
Raylene (whom you might remember from the post about her Muni Unicorn) 1) made a Munny doll out of Muni transfers, and 2) hung the doll on a Christmas tree.
Damn straight!
Some are all like “uggggh cats on the internet” or “ugggh cat in a stroller on Muni.” We say, “Cats on the internet!” and “Cat in a stroller on Muni!” As Sam tweeted to us @munidiaries:
“Man had a cat in a stroller on #muni today!”

Remember vigilante Muni justice from a couple days ago? @rotron described how a Muni rider took matters into his own hands, telling a Facebook shuttle to back up off our Muni stop. Turns out that @larrybobsf was that Muni rider, and he explained himself his confrontation last August in a comment on Muni Diaries:
…I’m the guy who yelled at the driver. This happened at the stop at the corner of Market and 8th. NextMuni was reporting both an 83x and a 19 within two minutes. Right next to the Muni stop are two parking meters which are covered over in the mornings with signs designating the space as a shuttle stop. But the shuttle drivers apparently prefer to pull up at the Muni stop instead. I did not move to block the shuttle entrance, but was standing at the Muni stop and the shuttle driver pulled up right in front of me.
Says Quynh Phan: “An empty sign holder tricked me on the way to practice today. I had to put my hand through it to make sure it wasn’t glass or a weird picture.”
Indeed.
Justin (aka bourboncoke on Instagram) has a pretty awesome living room, featuring vintage fabric Muni signage. Can we have our Muni Diaries meeting at your house, Justin? We’ll bring bourbon as well as Coke.

Muni newbie lesson number one: that clear liquid on your seat? It’s not water. So what do experienced Muni riders do? Bring your own seats, of course. While running Muni Diaries from our living rooms the last few years, we have seen so many DIY seating submissions that I had to put them all together here just for pure amusement.
Here are all the chairs we’ve spotted on Muni. So. Many. Chairs! Read more
