Subscribe it flows on the 38 Story submitted by Muni rider kapshure: I am submitting this post after being told that my story warrants contribution to this site; here goes: My story takes place on a recent evening, Nov. I step onto the bus, and make my way toward the back -- which I noticed was completely empty from the middle of the bus to the very back -- except for a large group of teenage African-American girls who were congregating huddled in the rear. As I approach the center "swivel" part and go to step toward that direction they start screaming ... " I sort of tease with the girls that I'm coming anyways ... when I notice one of their friends to the left in one of the row of seats, but standing close to the window side. Thinking that surely this is a joke I exclaim, "Well it better not be #2 cuz i don't wanna smell it!" They of course love this -- but the girl in the seat row states, "it's just #1." I move to sit down on one of the side seats that face each other in the middle of the bus -- mainly b/c I am curious to see out of my peripheral what really is going on here, as this couldn't be happening. Not that I could see anything from the angle, but surely she was just going to scribble on the bus or something w/her sharpie. but a few minutes later two young males get on the bus and walk towards the back of the bus, they whisk into a row of seats and guess what lucky row they chose. As the guy sits down ALL the girls shriek and shrill "eewwww u sat in pee.. the guy springs up (his friend hadn't yet sat down) and is standing in the aisle now.. and sure enough on the bottom of his white tshirt is a HUGE yellow discoloration. So all the conjecture you faithful MUNI riders had about the origin of the aromatic urine flavors Muni possesses doesn't come from the bums in Golden Gate Park -- its from packs of teenagers.

Don't really want the site to turn into "The Worst and Grossest of Muni." eugeniaNovember 26th, 2008 at 4:53 pm This is the last time I will sit in a Muni seat without checking first. As much as I am committed to public transportation, these last two days really made me glad that I haven't run into anything super gross. I hope my next post will be about candy, ponies, and other delightful thoughts... jennyNovember 26th, 2008 at 9:32 pm seriously, who would just sit before looking, especially on the 38? next time, ladies, do us all the decency of at least peeing into a cup!
jeffNovember 27th, 2008 at 12:05 am tara and i were having this conversation tonight. there may well be few dire circumstances where you "need" to relieve yourself while on public transit. but, please, spare us all, and get off at the next stop. sfmta: can we have some sort of urine/public health and safety patrol?
