What about the guy who blares music from his staticky cell phone? I don't like that guy.

Would love to see what you do with "move to the back" and all the people who won't move back beyond the back door when standing!

Yesterday, on the BART, some yuppie dude was standing in the *middle* of the open doorway on the train, checking his voicemail, as people tried to get past him. Nothing makes you want to smack a stranger more.

I basically only have two words: Backpacks. OFF.

Ha! Love this. Muni is on the mind as usual. I posted a mini love declaration of my own on my blog today at http://toesovertheedge.blogspot.com/2011/06/muni-my-heart.html. Had to add a link to this piece! Such a good glimpse into all that is strange on Muni. I might add drug deals to the list. That's definitely one I've seen before.

This is fabulous. So relevant, as I just had a full day muni excursion yesterday. ...But what about the not exactly from the "hood" yougin's that rap above the maximum volume of your headphones--no bueno!
Thanks!

C'mon, now, don't pretend you don't see that 102 year old woman/one-legged man/woman about to give birth who just got on the bus. You can stand up and text with one hand for the rest of the ride.

How about: "don't put your bags of collected trash bottles on ma'face!", "you might wanna make sure don't stink up the entire bus with those feet"... or, "one seat per person", "don't block the exit door" "get off the phone" "move to the back, you self-centered ____"... "it would be nice if you pay your fare this time", "please brush your teeth before boarding"

The person who uses the seat next to them, during a VERY crowded bus ride, to place their inanimate object. Violin. History Book. Fried Chicken. Dude, if you don't like people sitting next to you, don't take the freakin' bus.
