Rominian BITCH

    i was in town yesterday with my 3 year old niece- only popped in to pick up some lamb and only had 10 euro with me as id forgotten my bank card.

    Anyway there was a rominian woman outside Mac Donalds(Which was beside the butchers) selling Balloons for a fiver each(5e for a balloon WTF LIKE?) Anyway we had to pass her to get to the butchers and on the way back i got talking to an old mate.

    While i was talking to my friend the romian woman came up behind us and said to my niece "Would you like one" and handed one to her. Then she said to me "5 euros please" -I said "Excuse me ive only 2euro on me"(Which i did after getting what i needed and besides i hadnt asked to bloody buy one she had just come up and thrust it into the childs hands)

    AND DO U KNOW WHAT THE IGNORANT BITCH DID- SHE SNATCHED THE BALLOON OUT OF MY NIECES HANDS AND WALKED OFF!

    At this point my niece burst into tears-The poor child had a balloon waved in her face and snatched out of her hands a second later. I was fuming and was comforting my niece when the owner of the mac donalds came outside and told the woman to get away from the front of his shop and how dare she treat a 3 year old like that etc.

    Then he took my niece inside and gave her a free happy meal to cheer her up-Which i thought was lovely of him, Turns out he had seen everything from the window.

    I am still fuming at that b**** however:mad:

    Thats my rant!!!!!!

    10/10 for McDonalds is all i can. I seen those types of selling tactics on The Apprentice too when they were selling Lollies in the London Zoo. its very cheeky but im sure effective, although i doubt it would encourgae repeat purchases!

    Well fair play to the McDonald's chap! Seriously, there's hope for humanity.

    Bleedin' immigrants. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 70 ✭✭folkface


    E5.00 ? Was it a foil balloon with helium?
    Thats about reasonable if it was. Sure we all have over heads and profits to make. I agree she was rude with the child.

    Sounds like a decent bloke in MacD's. At least there are some decent people left in the world.

    It sounds like a scam by McDonald's to get you to now think that they are a great friendly "restaurant" for you to take your young family along to as they give out free happy meals to upset 3 year olds. Bet the Romanian is in the pay of that McManager. ;)

    I'm sick to death of these people, their a scourge sent to try us.

    Name the McD's, I think the Owner/Manager of that McDonalds deserve's a mention for his good deed.

    Em ... hello.
    Shes selling balloons on the street.
    Her overheads are buying the balloons, buying a disposable helium tank (or filling up somewhere else, cheaper). Thats it. E30 down doesn't count as an overhead, when you have the capacity to earn 300 a day at this ****.

    Heartless selling tactics...

    Because everything associated with the Romany are being labelled as Romanian in this country, simply because it sounds similar.
    And dont start this how do you know ****e, you know very well the OP was talking about a Roma gypsy, Romanians do not wear a badge saying "Hi I am Romanian" the Romany however have their distinctive garb.

    Almost exclusively Irish or second generation Irish, yes. What's your point?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,606 ✭✭✭Jumpy


    That you probably have message boards in the UK and France saying "Irish Scum" when describing travellers.

    Anyway, they are not primarily from Romania. Russia, Slovakia and Spain have a higher population of them together that Romania, and Turkey has more than all those countries combined.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 24,878 ✭✭✭✭arybvtcw0eolkf


    Jumpy why are you more interested in being a bloody PC nazi than at least condemning what this scumbag done to the child?.

    So the fvck what if its a Roma gypsy or a Tallagh bypass gypo. Condemn the act, not the bloody poster's here.

    It pisses me right the fvck off how the PC police here are ready to turn everything into a PC argument just so they can label us as racist and show how bloody good they are.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,389 ✭✭✭✭Saruman


    I agree about the Roma thing... i have met Romanians, from Romania. They were studying to be dentists and were the from what would be good families over there. Nothing like the roma gypsies.

    How about you walk around with some scissors (safety kids ones for obvious reasons) and next time it happens.... cut her strings and watch them float away :D

    Follow her around with a bunch of balloons and give them away free to anyone she tries to sell to, put her right out of business. Or carry a pin around to burst all her balloons.

    Ask yourself this - if the scumbag bitch selling the balloons was Irish, do you think the thread would be titled "Irish Bitch" ?

    For the most part I hate the whole "PC" attitude, but I hate ignorance more..

    Ah shut it. Seriously. Its not PC, it is to stop this type of crap from degrading the Romanians, who all in all are a lovely bunch.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭0ubliette


    The only element of our society, barring maybe our own native gypsies, that contribute absolutely NOTHING, ZERO, ZIP to our society are theese god damn roma. Seriously, have you ever heard a single good word said about them? I certainly havent. We dont need them here, theyre not wanted, we have enough problems with our own people, we dont need to import more scamming, theiving ****s.

    Yeah we know but i think at this stage most people know the ****ing difference between Romanians and the Roma gypsies,its just a term of convenience so stop splitting hairs.

    I couldn't give a rat's TBH.

    Why?, because on boards there's people like Jumpy just waiting to turn everything into a PC debate.

    The 'Roma/Romania' argument has been flogged to death on boards now. I'd be surprised if 99.9% of poster wouldn't know the difference between the Roma and Romanian's. So most people use Romanian as a generic term, even Romanian's!.. And I know, I train with enough of 'em.

    The ones I know would probably punch you for making that mistake. It is a grievous insult. You can quit flinging the term PC around too if you wish to be culturally ignorant enough to use it as a 'generic' term and I pull you up on it, I would hardly call it Politically Correct.

    Serves you right for putting the baloon in your niece's hand before finding out how much it cost.
    You knew you had hardly any money on you.
    Your manners are nearly as bad as hers.

    Punch me, but pwetty pwease don't let them call me names or stick out their tongues at me :(


    Anyway Lumpy, this isn't the SD&MA forum so I won't talk about things which might frighten you.

    The same thing happened to me before. I was standing outside a local niteclub with the woman. I was scanning around me for a taxi or an open take away when suddenly i turn around and what do i see..................
    A gypsy woman wearing a cowboy hat handing my woman a red rose :eek:
    then she puts the hand out to me and says E6.00.

    Well do you know what I said to both wimmen?
    Two words...........and the last word is off.

    Was that outside 'The Slaughtered Lamb' in Swords, Co.Dublin?.

    I drive a taxi and park outside there at the weekends and there's a romanian gypsy woman dressed like that everyweek.

    I've seen her spit in people's faces for doing what you did, your lucky you got off so lightly. (if thats where you were)

    Oh come on - you get barraged with this sort of crap every day:

    The candy at the supermarket checkout counter.
    The smell of freshly baked bread in the supermarket that is actually pumped in scent.
    The fineprint.

    It's called capitalism. If you didn't want a balloon then you should have told her so. If you thought that the balloon was too expensive then you should have told her "I'll give you one euro for that". And, hey, you know what? If more people did that - her prices would drop.

    It's called capitalism. Love it or hate it - it's all around us.

    ? ... *blankly side steps over to the group who actually read the OP*

    anyway, dissing the romanies today are we. Good show, i'll jump on board.

    I've been to quite a few countries around europe and there always seems to be an infestation of these people selling their knock off wares on the street.

    I've had romanies in more than a handful of countries shove a rose into my wifes hand and then demand money for it. I paid once in Venice because it was that kind of evening, but ever since I take exception to it. My wife will usually just drop the rose on the ground when it is shoved into her hand as they won't take it back until they've hassled me for a few minutes with "your wife, she like".

    There's also the devious street hustlers and their ball and cup games. I spent a while in Stockholm visiting a friend and the place is crawling with them, they grab at your hands and pockets trying to get you to make a bet, then some romany woman comes up and starts malling you, urging you to bet for her. The whole game is surrounded by other romanies who all seem to be winning every game. The whole thing is a disgrace, yet there is always your foolish american tourist who blows a load of money on it. Whats funny is that they have look outs at all the corners watching for police. So my friend in Stockholm, to give us a show, would just go around a corner and shout out "Police", to which all the romanies would close up shop and peg it off in all directions.

    In Ireland I have another friend who works as a courier and he said it makes him sick when he drives through the city in the morning as all these romany woman are dropped off with their young children on grafton st and o'connell st by their husbands driving BMW's and Merc's. They just plonk themselves down with their begging plaque and begin groveling. Have you ever wondered why you never see these woman sleeping on the streets? Or even walking to their begging spots?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I am sick to death of the goddamn gypsies!! When I was in college in Sligo the place was riddled with them! One time we sat outside a pub when a guy in a cowboy hat came up to us asking all of us to buy those shítty lil' flashy things. Obviously we said no and we started joking around with him when next thing he whips out this dead-fancy phone and starts showing a porno clip to the lot of us (:confused:). We asked him about the phone since it was pretty nifty and he then he moved onto his more.........blue warez. He started offering us everything from new phones, DVD players, DVDs, CDs, PCs, the whole shabang. Makes you wonder why he was selling crappy lil' flashy things!

    Speaking of which another night after we left the doors of a nite-club we were immediately greeted by 2 female gypsies selling the same crap for €4. We had enough so we started fúcking around with them and me and a mate had a bet to see who could get a flashy thing the cheapest. Haggling away anyways with them (one of the women slapped a random guy cuz he wouldn't buy one) and eventually I got one for €1.18 (beer change) while my mate got one for 50 cent. He thought he was great but the fúcking thing broke 10 seconds later :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,289 ✭✭✭gucci


    i never understand the whole selling flashy lights things....like do these people believe we act like magpies when we have beer on us and are attracted to flashing objects. maybe they can be beacons for if you get lost drunk or something
