Spotted on #muni: girl wearing a broken analog watch with no hands – #sohipster #sanfrancisco

We asked, what’s next?, and heard this:
“I once saw some girl wearing a CD on a necklace on the 22.” via @LSH
Then this:
“Floppy disk belt buckle?” via @SaraPantera
Which prompted this reply:
“not hipster enough. Needs more vinyl. :p” via @kwpianist
To which we come full circle and ask, what’s next?
The look on the face of the woman behind Kissyface McGreta Garbo here is priceless. Without price.
“Tourist is drawing a heart in lipstick on the window of #sfmuni to pose for her friend’s picture. :/”

That’s the emergency exit hatch on a 22 Fillmore bus being held closed with a plastic shopping bag and a shoelace.
You might remember the SFWeekly report earlier this summer that detailed the maintenance issues at Muni, where fixes included the use of garbage bags. Pretty good advertisement for Glad bags.
Thanks for dropping this off on the Muni Diaries Facebook page, Sergio!
This obviously means we should be Spider-Man-ing in the back half of the bus.
Good find from the Tenderloin Geographic Society. It’s no Please, Ho, but it comes pretty close (<– It gets me every. time, two-plus years later.)

Kim’s totally unsocial rules:
While much of Kim’s research was done on long-distance bus rides, some of the same conditions apply to intra-city travel. And this rang all sorts of bells for us:
Kim found that the greatest unspoken rule of bus travel is that if other seats are available you shouldn’t sit next to someone else. As the passengers claimed, “It makes you look weird.”

How do you handle strangers on Muni and BART?
