It's that time of year again! Time to count down our biggest stories of the year, measured in traffic, comments, likes and tweets.
These are the stories that garnered the most attention, caused the most fuss, or tickled your collective funnybones the most in 2012.
We never expected this one to attract much attention, but, what do we know. Here's story number two, reprinted in its entirety.

Facebook/Tour Buses Behaving Badly
If you live, play, or commute near Alamo Square, here's something you'll probably appreciate.
A new Facebook page called Tour Buses Behaving Badly is chronicling the double parkings, slow crawlings, and illegal stoppings of buses schlepping tourists to and from the Painted Ladies.
The page was created last week by "a group of neighbors in San Francisco who want to document Tour Buses Behaving Badly for upcoming hearings about Tour Bus activity, impacts and mitigations."
Infractions documented thus far -- with photographic evidence -- include a bus "slowing to less than 5 mph, ignoring traffic backing up behind," multiple buses illegally parked at Muni stops, and a whopping 7 buses parked on Hayes Street at one time -- "in March!! Not even tourist season...."
As Stephanie Tanner might say, how rude!
Will a webpage be able to help improve the situation? We'll see. But as always, the first step is admitting we have a problem.
(The second step is Facebooking it.)
