ca_gere Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Another tactic there could have been to reply 'Sure, what's the number?' and offer to dial it in for him. He'd probably implode because he no doubt didnt think that far into his little plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Actually ca_gere just reminded me. A guy came banging on my door a few months ago, at like 1 in the morning. I was up, don't why I answered the door because I don't live a part of Dublin where it's advisable to answer your door at 1am. It's really a' walk through the neighbourhood as quickly as you can' kind of place. I live in a cul-de-sac as well, so there's no one passing by, no-one around. Anyway this guy is all out of breath, says he lives a couple of streets over and a bunch of lads just kicked his door down and dragged his mate out into the back yard and started laying into him. Wants to borrow my phone to phone the police and also come into my house where it's safe. I'm not keen on handing over my iPhone anyway, even less so when I notice he's HOLDING A PHONE. I ask what's wrong with his phone. He says he switched it off in case anyone's chasing him so they can't find him. I don't like this answer. I'm thinking I don't really want to leave someone in the lurch if he's genuinely in trouble. But also I don't want to let this sketchy dude into my house in case it's a set up to rob me. I'm thinking either A) I'll let him then a bunch of people will appear round the corner and barge in, or B) see what stuff I have and come back when the house is empty. Anyway I made him stand on the doorstep while I rang the police for him. He thanked me and ran off back towards his house. Still don't know if it was genuine. A couple nights later someone came banging on the door again, this time about 4am. Again I was up, but I didn't answer it that time...I need to move.

Soda Jerk Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I don't answer my door at the best of times, unless I am expecting someone. Too many bastards out there. Trust no one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I get people banging on my door at all hours, unfortunately I have a drug dealer at the end of my street and somehow people mistake my house for hers so I get all these junkies knocking or trying my door thinking I'm her. I usually am polite to them directing them to her house but it's annoying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 I'm not saying you definitely should try and sell them bags of cumin and try to pass them off as heroin, but you definitely should. Make curry work for YOU for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodsinho Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Nah, you're way off. The number 3 is comfortably the best route First have - being able to get to the ARI from town is very useful for many people plus it goes past the train station AND the Tesco/Lidl on Wellington Road. I don't see how you can diss it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 It's long, cold full off odd people and people who think washing is optional I think your pet hate then is all bus routes, and probably most, if not all public transport.

Soda Jerk Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The #19. Now there's a bus route that doesn't make any sense. It goes from the shittiest part of town, to the most luxurious. I don't know if the time table has changed, but a few times throughout the day, there'd be huge gaps with no bus, and then 2 buses within less than 5 minutes of each other. It also used to never turn up. Angry commuters used to write to the papers about the #19 all the time. Do people still write to the papers when they're mad as hell? They should. It gets results. Look at the 19 route now. It's the first route to get the PLATINUM buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Moon Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 The 23 can be bad for either being late or just plain not coming , I finish school at 3.15 and the bus stop is across the rod and the bus is due at 3.30 sometimes is doesn't turn up a lot of the time it's early and I miss it. There's been a few times it hasn't came till 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Cunts on public transport who think it's ok to have the volume turned up on their phone when they're playing a game. I looked this woman dead in the eyes as her candy game went 'SWISH...PLINK'... as loud as i'd ever heard a phone. I was as impressed with the speakers as much as I was annoyed. Not even the hint of acknowledgement that there was anything wrong with the fact everyone around her could hear her game at full blast. Who are these people and how do they manage to live their lives blissfully unaware of the fact they are detestable cunts? I think they surround themselves with similar cunts, give birth to small cunts who grow up to be cunts just like them and the circle is complete. Cunts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 They are not as bad as the kids who sit on the back of the bus blasting out their shite happy hardcore pop covers through the shit iphone speaker. Its enough to give you a migraine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 They're the same type of cunty person. Games, music, whatever... it's all the same. People who don't respect the well being of the people around them are cunts. This particular woman today really wound me up. Unless of course she was deaf, in which case I apologize wholeheartedly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Whatever happened to headphones? They were cool. Back in the age of headphones, your devices could make as much noise as they wanted, but those noises were being driven exclusively into your lugholes only, leaving those around you with the peace and quiet they wish. They should bring them back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It goes from the shittiest part of town, to the most luxurious Imagine being a dropout-junkie type falling asleep en route from the Costa Del Tilly to city centre, and waking up at Bieldside.
