Have you heard about this story?????

    I received this email at work from one of my coworker..you know the kind of emails that turned around...anyhow I was wondering if anyone was aware about this story or if you think it's jsut a fake news? (let's hope it's just a story made by someone bored)

    This actually happened a few weeks ago just off the M1 . It was early
    evening and a young girl stopped to get petrol. She filled her tank and
    walked into the store to pay for her petrol. The cashier told her 'Don't
    pay
    for your petrol yet.....walk around the store for a while and act as if
    you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back
    of
    your car. I've called the police and they're on their way'.

    When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the
    girl's
    car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang
    and
    the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the
    gang
    to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was still alive by
    the
    time they finish with her then they let her go. According to the police
    that
    night, there is a new gang forming here originating from London. The
    scary
    part of this is because the guy didn't have a weapon on him. The police
    could only charge him with trespassing.... He's back on the street and
    free
    to try again. Please be aware of what's going on around you and for your
    family and friends. LADIES you or one of your family and friends could
    be
    the next victim. Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do
    not
    discard this message it is very important that everyone knows what is
    happening.

    Please be careful when leaving your vehicle and make sure it is ALWAYS
    locked to prevent this from happening to you.

    Of course it's not true. If it is the guy must be a think as a brick to spill the beans about his gang.

    Hello noob & welcome to the Internet circa 1993

    That story was even the opening of the movie "Urban Legend" (1998) & was probably doing the rounds for forty years before that...



    Do people still believe these things... ???

    BTW, if you don't forward that story to at least 20 workmates (including your boss) you'll be fired in 10 days & your fridge will stop working.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,470 ✭✭✭Mr_Roger_Bongos


    God kills a kitten every time you forward an e-mail like this. Why would you make Baby Jesus cry?

    well that just makes the story a bit more credible at least.
    News flash
    "An Garda Siochana , have arrested Jesus the son of god for trespassing in the back of a womans car while she went to pay for petrol at a garage just off the M1. Jesus' explanation was that it was an initiation into scientology. He was told to kidnap the woman in question and bring her back to a farm house in Kilteel Co.Kildare, where John Travolta , Tom Cruise and the frozen body of Elron Hubbard were awaiting them. Here they would gang rape the girl. If she did not die during this ordeal they were going to hook her up to a thetan-meter and then offer her a job as Nicole Kidmans PA. The gardai are currently holding Jesus at Pearse St Garda Station and can be held for up to 48 hours. On a side note , jesus has requested unleavened bread and some blood flavoured wine during his incarceration. "


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    So the guy just scrunched up on the back seat while they waited for the police to arrive?

    That makes for quite a funny mental image.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    The story is broken... it doesn't tell us what ethnic minority we're supposed to hate.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭Ross_Mahon


    There's one about a girl called 'katlah..blah blah' and if you dont send it a hundred times she appears and kills you...why do people spam it around? :confused:

    Take your pick. the usual suspects... lets just call them all "for-DIN-urs" and be done with it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,909 ✭✭✭✭Wertz


    I don't which one I like more...this fairytale or the one about the guy selling perfume in a car park that's actually cholorform, who then goes on to abduct you.

    The one the OP refers to is #9 in the snopes chart...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,005 ✭✭✭Creature


    It was me. I didn't get into the gang because of that damn cashier :(.

    That was me in the back of the car. The story is wrong about me being initiated to a gang. I was just looking for scraps of food and thought there might be some in the back of a random car at a petrol station. Turns out there was.....JACKPOT! She had a ham and cheese sandwich (on brown, no butter) and an actimel in the footwell of the back seat. Looking back, it wasn't worth it, the bread was a bit chewey and the actimel was the boring one that doesnt have any flavour to it.

    Wont stop me trying again though. So attendees of Petrol Stations on the M1...please be kind and leave some decent food in your unlocked cars.

    I prefer this one meself:

    Be warned, there’s a new shopping scam going on at Tesco's, whilst packing your shopping in the car, 2 sexy half naked 18 year olds will start washing your car with their breast's popping out.

    All they want for payment is a lift to the next supermarket. On the way they strip off and start kissing each other, one of them will then get into the front and give you oral pleasure and the other one will rob your wallet.

    I had my wallet stolen last Thursday, Friday, twice on Saturday and also yesterday so be careful when out shopping.

    Well I'm glad it's not a true story anyhow things like this can happen...in the gas stations in Spain at night in the motorway...and that happened to my dad and I while we were traveling to Alicante...we just stopped for a quick walk to the toilet,he didn't bother to lock his door as my little brother(sleeping)and the dog were in the car...thought it was ok...when we came back 5mns later his wallet and some other stuffs were gone...the dog was shaking as it saw the devil(my brother was still sleeping:eek:)!

    the true thing in this story is...lock the door!!

    this kinda story happened also to a few friends of mine...so that's why i was wondering..you never know what a human is capable of...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman

    Holy Crap, i cant belive this is still going around, the last time i heard this was sometime in 2006,
    same story, but this time the garage was named... the on the run in cabinteely.
    I'm surprised no one mentioned the one about the girl stopping up by jonnie foxes, same crap she gets out to see what the noise from the car is finds nothing, when she takes off again a car comes up behind her flashing and beeping etc, she is **** scared , traveling over sallys gap, comes to jonnie foxes and jumps out of her car runs in screaming for help, people come out to help to find the driver of the car holding a guy down who had a rope and knife.. Blah Blah Blah

    This is identical to a story on this page (4th one down) from EIGHT years ago (except that "near downtown" is replaced with "just off the M1"). In fact, a hybrid of the story first appeared seven years previously, in 1993.

    It's pure unsubstantiated urban legend - nothing more.
