    Why is it that whenever you go to dry your hands in a nightclub, the hand dryer turns off after 2secs of the sensor being activated?!! Last night I was in a club and had to wave my hands frantically like some mad man to keep the hand dryer on. So annoying!

    Why do you think there’s a black guy in there with paper towels? Besides to piss us off.

    With all due respect to Doc, the "majority" of the time it is a black guy standing there....I think he was merely making an observation as opposed to a racist comment.

    he deserves no respect - the "Majority" of young males cause accidents but i hate paying through the roof for insurance

    the bathroom attendants dont piss me off. quite the opposite actually. i always tip when i use their services, and sometimes are thankfull their there, some smelly spray comes in handy in a club / pub full of sweat and guinness farts.

    I understand the generalisation but if you want to moan about car insurance your in the wrong thread. I myself am paying over 3grand in insurance but jus grin n bear it...build up your NCD & stop moanin. Theres very little we can do in reality to reduce the cost because lets face it, there is a small portion of young male drivers ruining it for the rest of us....Aghh you got me moanin now too :D

    I have never been in any club anywhere in Ireland where anyone but a black man has been working in the Gents have you?

    Why the hell cant I say a black guy! Who am I offending when it’s true? I'm not some dumb redneck prick who thinks that only black people should do this job but I have never in the entire time I have been going to clubs seen anyone but a black guy handing out the paper towels and aftershaves. Dose this make me a raciest now?

    True but if I'm in a club I normally have to visit the bathroom a number of times and don’t like to tip anyone less then a euro but don’t think I should have to tip every time but if I don’t I feel guilty when he gives me the towel. Know what I mean?

    Well, I like you, have not been to every club in Ireland so i can't say whether or not anyone else does the job. It's what your statement could insinuate rather than what you intended.

    Well,back on topic,
    just the other night i was in Capitol and theyve got the worlds most annoying hand dryer,i think the sensor moves everytime you put your hand under it,it took me about 5 minutes to dry my hands the other day coz they thing was so lousy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,423 ✭✭✭fletch


    I think Doc was annoyed at the fact that he was being made, feel obliged to give the toilet attendant a tip. The fact that the attendants skin colour was black was as I said before merely a passing observation. Chill out a little egan007. Personally I don't know why people with coloured skin are offended when referred to as black. Being a Caucasian I have no problem being referred to as a whitey.

    Duh.. that's why they are called blacks in the jacks.

    Because 100% of them are black.

    The majority of crashes are caused by young males but not over 90% of them.

    Get a life.
