    That's my experience with a cork man as well. He was psychological liar and I'm sure he still is.

    My sister had the same experience with a cork man too. A massive liar to get his cock rode.

    And a friend also had the same experience with a cork man. Her ex was another liar.

    Well I dunno about yours, but mine was not only a liar, but a sociopath a well (that's my diagnosis anyway :D )!

    Well - actually - my ex - is from cork. An he sure as hell isn't honest.  He's a psychological liar come to think of it.

    FYI. 

    And the irony - I'm one of the most honest people I know.
    Er... and the point of that post is...?

    I'm so sorry but this is definitely a thinly veiled "I am so awesome I have my own practice and secretary" thread. It has feck all got to do with the phone.
    That's what I reckoned too and I usually hate "I'm so cool and cynical" comments - although I obviously don't know for definite. The story is hardly a big deal though and of course there are plenty of honest people, as there always were.

    Your hatred of Cork people based on a handful of Cork dickheads is hilarious and bitter. It's idiocy to think people from a particular region are all a certain way just because they're from that region.
    Get this: I know people who are dicks and come from... various places, including - but not limited to - parts of Cork! :eek:

    I have to inter-ejaculate all over that. A lot of people from my hometown are a particular type of dickhead. I was once greeted with, "You're from X? You're the first sound person I've met from there."
    I won't knock Cork people but I think certain places definitely breed certain attitudes, especially for small towns imo.

    Yeh saying there's a lot of whatever trait in a certain area is fair enough, but stating a dislike of all of the people from that area is just pathetic. It's amazing how teenaged some adults can still be. I won't deny there's a breed of arrogant Cork person, but while it's a small city, it's still big enough to have s variety of other people, and plenty who don't buy that stupid People's Republic stuff (although a lot of that is a send-up of the arsey Corkperson - and lol at people who think it's all serious)

    She is not required to keep the phone with her outside of business hours and I've got a life, so tend not to be the creepy spy on my secretary type. I've used the app twice. Once to make sure it was working and once to check the phone location when I got the text to say it was lost. Considering the cost of one, I'd rather have a small chance of recovering it if lost/stolen rather than no chance.

    but you said you gave the person 1k worth of vouchers, which is more than twice the value of the phone, therefore you would of been better of just buying a new phone

    I did similar recently in a club in town (Dublin City). A couple stormed off while having a tiff and one of them dropped an iphone on the ground. I tried to go after them but they disappeared in to the crowd. I knew the lad at the cloak room so I just left it with him so they could ring and collect it.

    I could have sold it for 200/300, but who really cares about that? I felt better about giving the phone back and hopefully a similar gesture will come back to me in the future!

    awaits response telling me i was stupid :D

    1k worth of my service, which is about 5, or 6 hours work and which will likely result in referrals for my services anyway. It would have been a big inconvenience if I had to replace the phone. Its now back where it belongs.

    Mine was the same. A sociopath believing his own lies and lacking empathy. I think maybe he's the same guy. Was he named Pr1ck by any chance?

    Might be at far less at cost for the OP but marked up retail worth €1k?

    Lovely story OP, nice to see it happening.

    I occasionally get the odd bill in a restaurant that is too low, and when I point it out the staff are always very grateful

    Getting very confused here.
    How is the person that found the phone Christmas sorted if you offer five or six hours of your work and it costs a grand? Are you a Gigolo? What basic work costs a grand?

    These is basically a troll thread if I ever seen one. In other threads you made you state you are a hypnotherapist? Am I missing something here?
    What service costs 200 quid an hour?
    This is basically a thread saying I have a made up assistant and want people to think I'm important

    Do members with over a thousand posts troll. I'm sorry you're sad enough to dig up my posts to see what I do for a living. When the spark in your head ignites, you'll figure that hypnosis is not cheap. I wouldn't know what a gigolo costs, but you seem to know that they're expensive.

    I went into a nearby petrol station 2 weeks ago and got 30 euro petrol(a few fumes lol). Got to the till and the guy(I know his face from him working there but wouldn't know him as such)asked me did I want cash back?
    I said "I'll have 29 euro back please".
    While he was doing this someone he knew came in behind me and they started yapping.
    He hands me back my card, receipt and cash and off I go.
    It was only after about a mile in the car that I checked the receipt, the cash was squashed up in it.

    He had given me 30 euro instead of 20 but only charged me for 20.
    So I turned around and went back to the garage.
    the guy was serving someone when I went in but I caught his attention.
    I said"you've given me a tenner too much" and handed it over.

    He seemed flabbergasted as was the guy he was serving.
    As I was walking away I heard yer man saying"Jaysus, there's something you dont get every day, someone handing back money!!!!"

    TBh I was taken aback by their response, I mean it wasn't my money and I knew it.
    Keeping it(to me) would be the same as stealing.

    I have been given too much money back at tills a number of times in various shops - and if I noticed it I would usually hand it back and always get a grateful thank you from the person at the till. Once or twice it was 10 euro too much on the change back - either they are working mad hours and are too tired to focus, or they just suck at maths.
