Oh you know just another morning in SF- Starbucks, Apple, and some light S&M reading on the train.

Just another day in San Francisco, right? Just reading a book on Muni. No big deal…

Three fun things to do this weekend:

  • Soul Dance Party.  $5 off if you wear your semi-formal attire. How much do I love an excuse to dress up? Bring out your best clothes and dance all night. Saturday at the Elbo Room. 647 Valencia Street. Take Muni there: 14, 33, 49. BART: 16th Street Station.
  • Block by Block by Campo Santo. Campo Santo’s original work created with hip-hop theater collective Felonious and writings from Junot Díaz (The Brief and Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao). De Young Museum. 50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Drive. November 17, 18, 19, 7 pm. Take Muni there: 5, 44, N.
  • Meet Chef Mourad Lahlou of Aziza. The new cookbook by chef Mourad Lahlou made me really hungry and inspired me to organize my spice cabinet. Meet him at Green Apple Books, taste some delicious food, and learn more about Moroccan cooking. Saturday, Nov. 19, 1 p.m. Green Apple Books. 506 Clement Street. Take Muni there: 1, 2, 38, 44

Enjoy these photos and your weekend!

Austin Powers Drives the 1BX

One comment

Many of us have had to Austin Powers out of a parking space or some other traffic pickle. But on the Muni Diaries Facebook wall yesterday, Stephanie described watching a bus driver thusly maneuver a 1BX-California ‘B’ Express:

The bus driver just didn’t leave enough space to turn the corner, as you need to use both lanes on that turn. So we ended up on the curb, and when she tried to get off the curb, kept reversing and going forward trying to get away from the light post…we got so close the bus couldn’t move because we were wedged up against it…one more inch would take out the walking/no walking sign.

This apparently happened during the morning commute hour. Were you there? Do you have an even better FACEPALM commute story? Once you’ve told your boss that Muni ate your homework, tell us your stories. Head to the Muni Diaries Facebook Page, use our submission form, or email us at muni.diaries.sf@gmail.com.

Left You a Note on Muni

One comment

Among the stuff you find on the bus, notes are among the most telling. It’s kind of like reading someone’s diary. And who doesn’t love that? Here are some found notes we’ve seen from the recent past, like the “white whine” note, above.

This one is pretty cute. I wonder if they ever found each other.

At least the writer of this note said please.

“…and 4. Find my to-do list.”

Getting Ready For Summer

Monsters attack!

If you stumbled upon another quirky find on Muni, you know where to send it. Let’s be voyeurs together.

What to do when you encounter the Muni Seat Hog

20 comments

We’ve all been there. On a crowded train or bus, some jerkoff has his bag on a seat next to him. Sometimes, even giant Styrofoam gets a seat before you do.

We RT’d @amanda___c this morning, and got quite a number of suggestions for how to handle such an egregious breach of public-transit etiquette:

Uh, pick up his bag and throw it on him, then sit down. if he complains, tell him to F— off. 🙂 — @michaeldowling
I usually just start sitting on the seat anyway. The introduction of a stranger’s ass is good motivation. It works. — @McClure_SF
I’ve been known to pick up a bag, plunk it in their lap, and sit. Seats are for people, not bags! — @cripsahoy
I stand in front of them and pass gas… — @murphstahoe

What about you? How do you handle this particular type of Grade-A douchefeather?
