    I was going to name this post something else but i would probably get banned for cursing and being racist.
    Anyway, some foreigner tried to pick pocket me today. I was in a Q when in walks some little foreign midget man and stands besides me. I reckon he only came in to steal and i just happened to be there. Anyway i felt something leave my pocket, (i didn't even feel his hand in my pocket). He tried to steal my wallet. I turned around and hit him and verbally abused him calling him every name under the sun, then he drops it and walks out.

    How can someone go so low ???

    ahem "pick pocketed" implies the culprit got away, you were "nearly prick

    pocketed"

    if your above quote was true, someone could say "I was murdered, but I'm

    still alive", after somebody attempted to murder them :p

    Was there any construction work going on nearby? You could've beaten him with a brick.


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


    So you bet up a midget huh?Vids?

    ah yeah can never beat AH for pedantic pats!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,529 ✭✭✭BrokenArrows


    i agree with the statement that he was pick pocketed.

    in the short period that the wallet was not in his pocket and in the other guys hand he was pick pocketed.

    Just because he got it back a few seconds later it does not mean that it was not removed from the pocket.

    Still it was a well deserved hitting and abusing. Might make him think twice the next time he does it.

    You should have put on a disguise and followed him around and try and put yourself into a position that he tries to pickpocket you again.
    Then you get a chance to hit him again. :pac:

    AND you can't beat AH for people who want to see videos of midgets being beaten with bricks just 'cos someone "almost" got pick-pocketed.

    Don't we live in a wonderful world? :)

    Just thought I'd pedantically point out that you're correcting someone on a phrase involving the word "Pedantic" and you spelled "Pedantic" incorrectly.

    Fneh! :p

    "Fneh!" whilst suitable in most instances of petty snorting, isn't suitable here.

    I would much rather you went,

    "Hmnah!", thus giving the polite orally expelled gush of air.

    Once more, all together now,

    "Hmnah!"

    :)



    On topic, next time to keep safe from being pick pocked, use a secure pocket where they cannot stick the pick into. Hope this helps.

    No it's a line of people usually waiting in an orderly manner for goods or services, it's spelt queue.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,000 ✭✭✭GhostInTheRuins


    Well at least you caught him op, he's obviously still a rookie and needs a few hours more experience.

    And is probably now in the middle of a furious fapping session with his small arms and black eyes thinking "Damn...I was so close..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,346 ✭✭✭✭homerjay2005


    so much wrong with the original post. all i have to say, is that you dont have to be foreign to pick pocket. its been happening in ireland for years before any foreigners came in. you seem to have another agenda here i think.

    id personally beat any little c*nt that tried this.

    I really am sick of all this politically correct bull****. The OP was pickpocketed by a foreign midget, there really isn't any agenda to the post other than venting about pick pockets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,194 ✭✭✭✭Witcher


    OP, how did you beat the thief?

    fists?

    headbutt?

    I would have gone with a quick jerk of the knee, knock his head off :pac:

    So if we have anything to learn from this experience:

    - don't leave your wallet in your back pocket, bulging and noticeable with a neon sign above it saying "Free Wallet".

    - Don't ever queue in a line with foreign people, especially small ones. They're fast, but cannot take a smack in the head if you're quick enough.

    +1. I've seen people reply to smellslikeshoes' kind of argument with "Well why did he have to say he was foreign?" etc.

    Bull****. Why should he leave out details of the event or the person who did it? I remember a thread in motors where someone was driving up the Knockmaroon hill (that's a fairly steep hill with a blind bend in Dublin for you non-Dublin lot) and there was a car stopped in the road. It was a scam where the woman driver let on she couldn't get her car started again. The OP left his car running while he tried to help her get it started and a guy comes out of nowhere and tries to rob the OP's own car. The OP copped on in time and stopped them from robbing his car.

    It was posted as a warning to anyone else who might fall victim to the same scam on the Knockmaroon hill. A description of the car was given and of the two scammers but wait a minute :eek::eek::eek: the OP said the two people were black! Shock horror! People bandied about accusations of racism iirc.

    If you have to deliberately leave out a very important part of a criminal's physical appearance when describing them for fear of offending someone's delicate sensibilities, then the PC thing really has gone too far.
