I lost my batter burger

    I just needed to have a whinge, I just drove down to the (quite far away) chipper to get a batter burger and chips, had a serious craving and it's the only chipper that satisfies in this situation. Scraped together the €3.70 and arrived at chipper and it was empty so had to wait for them to heat up the oil etc, waited ages, no problem it's worth the wait. Got back into my car and drove back home, had one or two chips but was saving the rest for a cup of tea, mmmmm. Parked the car, hopped out, and the bag burst, my batter burger is now under another car and my chips all over the road. I cannot tell you how devastated I am. I just need some sympathy please people.

    If she did, she had better have adopted a cheesy 50's style frozen shoulder shrug and smile while someone played some suitable "oh what a kerfuffle" music in the background.

    Your bag must have got soggy with the heat.

    Awful tragedy. Could never go for a batter burger myself. Scrape together another €3.70, get back in that car and get another one. It's gonna pi$$ you off all day. Best bet is just get another one.....and make sure you eat it this time.

    On your way now, the wind is at your back.

    i did think about it, but the fact that it was under another car made it a bit more difficult

    two reasons I don't want to go get another one, i'll get funny looks from the fat italian man, i've no money so would have to go to bank machine and it's a ten minute drive :(

    Too much vinegar, the bag was under pressure

    Your gonna look like some fat bastard, back in the chipper ordering another batter burger and chips.

    Soggy Bag - the number one cause of lost batter burgers in the country.

    A tragedy no less.

    Whoopsadaisy is a perfectly valid response.

    Whoopsadaisydoodles is just gay.

    Who gives a fcuk. Considering the owner is fat, I doubt he'd care. Besides it's another pay day for him. If the OP wants to dig into the batter burger he/she knows what they have to do.

    she, and i would look like a fat bastard if i was a fat bastard, but thankfully I'm not, (although might have been if I'd eaten it!).
    I could always bring the dirty burger back and tell them the quality of the bags is rubbish and that I demand a new one?

    Bring the bag back + your muddy burger and complain that it was not fit for the purpose for which it was designed then prattle on about consumer rights for half an hour and demand that he provides you with a new bag of chips & batter burger this time and insist that he carries it home for you and takes a bus home.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Blessing in disguise, nobody likes chubbies. Well that's not true but I don't.


  • Posts: 50,630 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]

    I know. too late now.

    I've decided, Im gonna change clothes, tie my hair back and go chipper in a different car. I can't stop thinking about it. And the smell of chipper is gonna be all over my car which will just make the pain even worse.

    OP you should have posted in personal issues. These kind of immature replies are inevitable in After Hours.

    For what it's worth, I know what you're going through. When I was 7 I bought an ice-cream from the ice-cream man with the full works, sprinkles, Cadbury's flake, syrup etc. Then I stupidly tried to cycle along while eating it. I cycled off a kerb and the jolt of landing knocked my ice-cream off the cone. The impact splattered it everywhere and the sun was beating down so there was no chance of invoking the 10 second rule. Alas my beloved ice-cream was lost to the ants. I tried eating the cone but it just tasted like ashes in my mouth.

    Tbh I hadn't thought about that day much until I read this thread and now it's all coming back to me. I realise I haven't ever really gotten over it and it's hard to talk about even now.

    The most important thing is that you're talking to people about it. That's the first step. Good luck OP.

    Wow, javaboy, I'm sorry to have unveiled this trauma, but it may be for the best. You've been bottling this up all these years, it has probably had a subconscious effect on your sex life and everything, it's good to let it out. Those ants can't hurt you any more.

    If you ever want to talk, just PM me, I'm here.

    Epic burger fail...or something to that effect.

    You mean like the ice-cream coming out of my cone too early? It all adds up now. :o

    Oh I don't mind the ants. Just because I couldn't eat it, I wouldn't begrudge them it's sweet sugary goodness. In fact, now that I think about it, for those ants that weren't actually crushed or drowned by the initial impact of the ice-cream, that was probably the best day of their little lives. My unhappiness over the loss I suffered that day was surely offset by the joy I gave to so many ants.

    Maybe if I try to look at it as more of a sacrifice I made for the happiness of others, I wouldn't feel so bad over the whole thing. That should make me feel a little better..... so why do I still feel so sad? :(

    All his batter burgers are getting away. He'd rather have them all for himself. :D

    OP get down there and correct a wrong.

    noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    Javaboy's post made me sad because I don't even know where I'd even go looking for an icecream like that. Fecking globalisation and these sh*tty McFlurrys and piece of crap Centra cones. Flake have even started doing their own '99s with like... a quarter of a flake.

    Oh ice-cream vans still do the rounds. You just don't hear them anymore. The sirens use the same technology as that "kids only" ringtone that was all the rage a while back. It's played at frequencies that our tired old ears simply cannot hear. :(

    Yeah but at what cost? Anyone know where I can get a 'proper' icecream in Cork? I know HB Swirls are good but it's not what I'm after.
