If there was ever a time to hit a girl...

    Thought Id relay this story to all the AH regulars as it shook me up a fair bit.

    I was out last Saturday night in our local late bar.I was feeling pretty rough and the place was jammers so said I'd leave early and rest up as I hate being sick and further boozing would lead to me coming down with some silly cold or whatnot. Anyway, as Im leaving I come across a guy I know from work, he's crouched down holding his stomach. Apparently someones smacked him in his man parts, he is also completely hammered drunk, slurring his words etc. I offer to take him to the taxi rank and get him home. He agrees reluctantly and we head over the road.

    As Im crossing the road I see these two girls I know locally. They are known idiots and always causing trouble. They start heckling me for going home early and start calling my workmate over as he is pretty good friends with their group. We have to walk by them to get to the taxi rank anyway. They start sating shít like to my workmate about me "why are you going anywhere with him, sure no one likes him anyway" and "he's a dickhead, stay here with us and we'll head back inside". I get pretty angry and tell them that he is hammered and needs to go home. They get all mouthy again. Arguments about whether he should stay or go go on for about 10mins. I get sick of it at this stage and am pretty angry "fine, you take care of him, Im heading on. Silly bitches". I walk over towards the taxis. I could hear them asking my workmate why is he crouching over etc.

    As Im about to cross the road, I get an almighty smack on my back and fall onto the road. My workmate on top of me screaming angrily "you punched me in the sack", holding his fist back and looking pretty confused. Im pretty shocked myself so nothing really comes to mind, but I say that "I didnt and why does he think that?". He says the two girls told him. I can hear them laughing now and pointing over but Im still pretty out of it. The two of them run over, pull my workmate off me and grab my arm. I go to get up but they start dragging me along the road on my back. They stop after about 10metres and run off. Im obviously still pretty bolloxed so in no shape to get up, and even if I was, I dont think I could have really done anything anyway.

    I get a hand up by a stranger shortly after they run away. My back scrathed up pretty bad, my shirt destroyed and Ive a cut just above my left eye from when my workmate bashed me onto the floor. Other than that Im fine, I found the whole experience pretty shocking though.

    Should have sacked the guy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,919 ✭✭✭✭Xavi6


    Is the girl in the OP the owner of a pair of bollocks? Cause the only person worth a slap would have been your workmate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,821 ✭✭✭RxQueen


    what asshole's , bet your mate will feel pretty silly about it all when he has to face you again


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,181 ✭✭✭LolaDub


    Thats insane. Hope you're alright now. I don't think there's ever any justification to hit someone, you're just sinking to their level but if i had been in this situation i think i would have been hard pressed not to. Fair play to you op. The girls are complete knackers for behaviour like this, you wouldn't want the same rep as how you view them would you?

    I'd definitely be expecting an apology from your colleague for what happened that night. Maybe take a photo of what he did to you in case he 'doesn't remember'.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 333 ✭✭CoachBoone


    I guess I should point out, that it wasnt my workmate that dragged me along the ground. He was semi comatose on the road, it was the two girls. Ones quite big, not over weight but she's an intercounty footballer as far as I know.

    I dont really think my workmate can be blamed too much for this though? We've all had those nights where we've had one too many and end up doing silly things.

    doesn't matter.

    Still have to face up to the consequences.

    Your workmate drank too much and got into a bit of trouble, you decided to take care of him and bring him home. Minutes later he's laying into you. Yeah i think your workmate owes you an apology.

    The girls have more to answer for alright but as you said they're troublemaking knackers-stay clear.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,092 ✭✭✭pseudonym1


    Pack your own sack and get outta that no good hick vile town!
    Ought to take it as a compliment that they think "nobody likes you" - they are a pack of twats - knacker twats at that.
    Hope your feeling better!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,181 ✭✭✭LolaDub


    Tbh op if this had happened to me and i knew the girls who had done it i would be reporting them for assault.

    Something might come of it or nothing might but a gardai caution might show these knackers that this behaviour isn't on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,662 ✭✭✭Trinity


    How old are the girls? Disgusting carry on tbh.

    If they behave like scum thats all they will end up with, a bf that drinks or snorts his money, knocks her black and blue and riddles her with STDs he gets when hes screwing around behind her back so that in itself should be vengence enough.

    There are times when you can replace the word Girl with the more suitable word Scum.:(

    Firstly, there is never a time to hit a girl.

    What your clearly implying with the above sexist remark, is that while "there is never a time to hit a girl", there could be a time when it is grand for a girl to hit a guy, which does appear on the face of it to totally contradict your comment below.
    Secondly, anyone suggesting violence towards others will be banned.

    Firstly, there is never a time to hit a girl anyone.

    There's the girl that made me bitter,

    want to pay some other girl to just go up to her and hit her.

    Look at the thread title.

    Now look back at my other post.

    Now look at the thread title again.

    Now look back at my other post.

    Do you see the correlation between the thread title and my other post?

    IF there was EVER a time....

    This implies that there is NEVER a time so i don't see the problem with the title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    The elipses at the end imply that what was written afterwards would be a good time to hit a girl.

    OP is original poster or original post.
    The OP was being attacked as such, so how is it wrong if he was to defend himself, be it a man or woman.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    Pour a glass of water over their heads. I'd never do it meself but it gets passed the whole "can't hit a woman" thing.

    I dont get why the OP doesn't report this assult to the guards? Why would you not? Certainly if it was me getting physcially attacked like that I would be on the phone ....

    Loladub is right -make a complaint to the guards -it is assualt and battery.

    well didn't have one, drank a bottle of wine over dinner, but woke up fine, then decided ok my Mam has my son tonight, babysitting, and my DH has MAN flu.....brought him to doc....its just chest infection....so I might as well drink at home as no son....and DH in bed....and I had no NYE so feeling sorry for myself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    After that, I'd make sure yer workmate gets multiple kicks in the nards.

    If these are the people you know... I'd suggest you start making other friends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,555 ✭✭✭✭AckwelFoley


    I would defend myself from those fembots with none other than a swift judo kick to their baby makers.

    id never hit a lady, they dont appear to be ladies.

    No, this is assault and battery


  • Moderators Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭ChewChew


    Firstly, there is never a time to hit a girl.
    Cant say I agree with this one. It bugs the crap out of me when a girl goes around thinking she can slap a bloke across the face for no reason and we all know it happens! I'm a girl. And If I got into a row with a bloke and ended up slapping him across the jaw I think I'd deserve a slap back for it! Screw that crap ''oh I'm a girl and boys cant slap me but I can slap you if I feel like it''

    OP. . . have words with your work mate when you see him next. ask him how he is. forget the **** stirrers. Sort it out with the dude.

    If hitting a girl can be avoided it should be. But giving them a good push/shove when they are assaulting you would do the trick. If doesn't work then a guy has every right to hit her a slap, not a punch, unless she's got a knife or gun:p. Open handed slap across the chops is as far as I'd go if she refused to stop.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    Why is that?

    There's lots of women far stronger than lots of men and well able to fight.. but..men can't hit the women because..?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 199 ✭✭Stones85


    When I was doing security in nightclubs we'd always get girls hitting their fellas, or should I say attacking, before we can get there to throw her out he would give her a push/shove to get her away, she would look at us to say "did you see that? throw him out", told her to gtf and touch him again and you're out.

    All this "but she's a girl" ****e hold no water in most cases.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,388 ✭✭✭Kernel


    OP: They want your cock.





    Yes, including your work mate.

    I can think of examples. Statements like this are the reason some girls think they can get away with behaviour that would warrant a hit.

    Good point. I suppose you should replace girl with any small person who can't properly defend themselves.

    Damn right. The bars clubs should be divided up into different sections. 1 for fatties, 1 for gym junkies, 1 for small men who fight like girls, 1 for girls who fight like men, can't think of any more...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,048 ✭✭✭SimpleSam06


    Firstly, there is never a time to hit a girl.
    Yes there is. Theres nothing inherent to being a female that makes them incapable of violence, and even a small person can do significant damage to someone that isn't actively resisting. In fact anti-terrorist teams are taught to shoot the women first.

    Waste of time. Start out your statement with "well I was utterly langered" and you may as well leave it there.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    But he doesn't have to mention he was langered. And it was a Saturday night, the guards will know the OP had been out drinking.
