The dart ,Howth ,most disgusting thing i've ever seen!

    On sunday myself, the wife and 4 year old son parked over at landsdowne road and got on the dart to Howth. On the way home the train had to wait at the terminus for 15 mins before departure. We got on, sat in empty seats (we were amonng the frist to get on). The were some travellers, mother, daughter and father already on there drinking cans of beer, the beer had been spilt all over the ground aswell. We movied as far away from them as we could, the smell was unbearable. The carriage we were in was still fairly empty. Next of all the daughter (she's in her late twenties I'd say) gets up, pulls down her jeans, and her underwear, squats and starts to urinate all over the place but mostly on the floor and some empty seats. i was in shock and felt disgusted. So i got off the train (still stationary) and told the ticket office guy about it and asked if he could contact someone. He laughed. The traveller went back to her seat and more people started to arrive. We were quite a bit away from them, everyone that got on after this had no idea the urine they were walking in wasn't just beer. The train departed and nearly everyone who got on tried to distant themselves from the travellers because they were now argung, but tragically though most people sat in the empty seats full of wet pee first before realising and moving. It was just unbvelieably disgusting. The 3 travellers were all overweight, unwashed,yellow teeth, foaming at the mouth.pouring beer into themselves while midly puking. I've never seen anything like it.

    That is absolutely disgusting. How could the ticket guy just laugh though??

    Word of caution though; how sure are you they were travellers cos other travellers might get upset with you if you go around talking about "disgusting travellers".

    If you had time to get off and talk to a ticket inspector why didn't you just get off and move to another carriage?

    Why did nobody warn the next person about to sit down "oh those seats are wet"?

    Yes, quit going on about those poor people who obviously just needed somewhere to pee. :rolleyes:

    That is disgusting. The trains need more inspectors or some form of on board security staff. Too many people treat it like a moving playground.

    Because burying your head in the sand isn't always the answer.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,165 ✭✭✭✭brianthebard


    How is that burying your head in the sand? If they've told the inspector and he's not doing anything, short of a bit of vigilantism what is a person supposed to do?

    Is he not saying that the OP could just have gone to a different carriage and not gone to the inspector?

    I realised that when posting but they were travellers. I don't think that reflects on travellers, just society.

    Well we moved sufficnetly enough away from them..but yeah in hindsight I do wish that i had moved to another carriage.

    Yep I asked the same thing from my seat at the back. But honestly i think most thought people it was just beer and since after sitting they moved away they weren't there to tell the peolple who came afterwards.Also The windows were all open and the smell of urine was masked.

    I saw something similar last summer in Kensington High Street tube station, except it was a gorgeous looking Asian girl, very well dressed. She sat down next to myself and my boyfriend on the platform, and just pissed. It was disgusting. Its not always the travellers!

    More needs to be done to ensure passengers safety and comfort on public transport. I have seen piss sloshing around on the floor on Dublin Buses. Its something that should be taken seriously if the government is going to try entice more people onto public transport.

    don't be silly, we all know travellers can't read.

    Yeah, I actually saw some pretty similar stuff when in Japan, but it was mostly guys. Supposedly they don't really think of taking a piss in the street as anyway rude, whereas we'd go "Ugh!" and such.

    Not that I condone that kind of thing though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭jrey1981


    Their heads should be caved in with a shovel. That's disgusting.

    We had some drunken guys stop their car just outside our gate the other night. One went for a piss on the verge and then left two boxes of empty drinks cans there.

    If it ever happens again will be taking their number plate and calling the guards.

    Scum.

    They were just returning to the Northside, that sort of thing is par for the course over there.;)

    Believe it or not, OP, but I got onto the same carriage when that train reached Greystones. I was heading back towards Bray which is only a ten minute trip, but I was nearly sick when I realised it wasn't just beer sticking my feet to the floor. It was horrific. I assumed from the number of cans and "stickiness" that practically everone on the carriage must have been drinking. Obviously not quite.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,889 ✭✭✭tolosenc


    I live in Howth. You regularly see scumbags, in their mid twenties and up, pissed of their skulls at 4pm on weekdays.
    I'm in favour of declassifying killing a scumbag to 18 months probation or so, tbh. Maybe community service, or does the killing count?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Luckily for you OP, you don't live beside Croke Park.
    I've often had people going for a piss behind our wall on match day. (it's fairly high and concealed from the road)


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 27,315 CMod ✭✭✭✭spurious


    I've seen lots of men pissing on public streets late at weekends.
    Animals.

    Yep it was a Northsider alright.

    A southsider wouldn't have wasted the opportunity and would've pinched a loaf out too...and probably belted out a verse of Irelands Call while doing it. :D;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,976 ✭✭✭✭humanji


    But sure if they were leaving Howth, they were heading towards the Southside :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    Living in Howth I can admit that a *HELL* of a lot of knackers and scumbags come out at the weekends and just sit on the beach drinking.

    If you see something like that and the guy in the station does nothing ring the Gardai, im sure you know their number is 999, and make a complaint. As it is the gardai can easily arrest them on several offences such as Public Order, Drinking in public etc.

    The guy in the station is not going to do much about it, in reality there is nothing he can do. I can tell you that those scumbags dont care about them and he is pretty powerless to do anything. Usually it is just the one guy sitting in the station aswell.

    pretty rank, but if it is the most disgusting thing you have ever seen then you need to get out more..

    Yea, there were two gingers kissing a few seats up from me on the train home today. sounded like fish doing mouth to mouth.

    Still, that's abominable and what makes my blood boil is that they can do it with such impunity.

    ok let me paint you a picture

    three extremley smelly, unwahed for weeks, yellow toothed, scabs on face, dirty haired scumbags, sipping beer cans while making involuntary noises (farting, belching, general murmuring) and actually so full from beer that were expelling refuse and waste from their stomachs out through thier mouths, probably so extrmely constipated that this waste was actually their own excrement (i'm not joking, this is common) and then one them urinates over herself and the train, so much urine that it starts to stream along in little rivers all over train and people are walking in it, it's mixed with beer and previous urine.....and there seems to be faeces rotting away somewhere in the background to all this....
    on a hot dart that was cooking these germs and bacteria which became airborne when the dart started to move and were ultimately inhlaed by most of the passengers

    how's that, because that's in essence what it was.

    as I said, pretty rank, but I'd be surprised if it is the most disgusting thing even one person on here has ever heard even with all the embellishment you are now adding.

    smelly people taking a piss in public, big swing.

    Thats bull****, I've only ever seen that sort of stuff once or twice and i use public transport all the time. There is nothing wrong with the Northside. Admittedly there are several places in the Northside known for being rough and to be avoided but same with the Southside.

    have been on the dart when a ticket inspector caught this respectable canadian tourist without a ticket. inspector asked him to pay for a ticket or leave the train. guy said he bought a ticket and threw it away after using it and wouldnt be paying or getting off. so ticket inspector stops the train next station, calls his superviser who arrives in a few minutes. tells the guy to pay or get off or they'll get the guards. after 10-15minutes argument/delay the guy apologies to us other people for the delay and eventually agrees to pay the few euro.
    that they make such a big deal about one persons ticket and delay the rest of the passengers and then your guy on the platform just laughed when you told about the scum pissing and pouring beer on the seat is pretty disappointing. makes me more angry at the people running the system, they should kick any scum off the trains
    my parents once witnessed some druggies shooting up on the dart, so you can be really unlucky with people you come across

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,805 ✭✭✭Setun


    Anyone ever felt the need to change carriage because of fat girls playing ****ty loud music on their phones? That's pretty annoying. Not as bad as pissing, granted, but aggravating all the same.

    well there have been plenty more disgusting experiences quoted on after hours, including ones on the DART. I just think this is pretty mild and the OPs obsession with the colour of the travellers teeth is a bit freaky too..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,247 ✭✭✭stevejazzx


    Jeez, mention something twice and you're obsessive. I see, so I'm a freak and my storys dull. Great. Well next time, I'll make sure to have something really sickening to report for you and I promise not to highlight details more than once. How's that?
