Writing rule number ten gave we folk over at Muni Etiquette HQ an epiphany. And that is- riding public transit is not all about you. Your personal need to get somewhere? Not that fucking important. Your desire to talk to people, listen to music, to eat? Super fucking unimportant, actually. Public transit is just that - it's for the PUBLIC. That union-man up front is not your personal driver, those flesh-eating bacteria ridden seats are not your personal property, and the people around you sure as hell are not your friends. So pull your head out of your ass and think about someone else for a change, would you? Which brings us to rule number 11, which really sums up rules number 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9, and 10, not to mention all future rules:
11. Be considerate of others.
We like specific rules, as you may have noticed. But seriously. Stop obsessing about your tiny unimportant life for once and try to remember that you're on Muni with other people. Who don't need or want to know anything about you, or get any closer to you than they have to. This is deep, people. Like, cracking the code for making it to Bodhisattva in the next life, deep. And regardless of your religion du jour, we suggest you try it. A little consideration goes a long fucking way.
