    I got in an argument with a fella in a bus queue once.
    He got angry and threw his bus fare at me.
    Luckily I was quick on my feet and jumped to one side, successfully dodging the rapidly approaching coins.

    Eh.... yes.

    Once upon a time, I was at a work xmas party (just last xmas to be precise!). I got a little bit too drunk, as in I had no idea what I was doing or even who I was! So.... I got a taxi 'cause I couldn't really stand up anymore. EVENTUALLY he finds my house 'cause I couldn't give directions. He told me how much it was, I have no recollection of this and being as drunk as I was I handed him my whole bag and was like "There's money in there...." ....

    THERE WASN'T. AT ALL.

    So I said "Grand, thanks anyway!", got out of the taxi, tripped and fell and the poor unpaid man had to come and help me open my door! It was great!

    BUT IN GENERAL, I ALWAYS PAY FOR STUFF!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah, sometimes I just throw a ton of coppers into the fare machine if I've no change for the bus. generally it adds up to about 1.50.

    But €2.20 to town is well to much anyway, robbing bastards.

    Luas & Bus fare is way too high, how can they justify even the 20c bus increase couple weeks ago? They cut loads of routes, weekly nightlink, some drivers, busses are never on time, they are filithy, full of scum blarring crappy recorded techno from their screechy phone annoying everyone etc etc...

    Disgracefull, like everything else in this poxy country its arseways:mad:

    Hmmm Just like ryanair planes too state of the aircraft comp to a dublin bus
