    There's a bloke(irish) who sits outside Centra in nassau st every bleeding day,right beside the door.
    I'm sick to the back teeth of the cnunt because he makes sure to ask everybody individually for change and then makes some remark when they ignore him.
    He's there all day every day and i'm seriously fixin' to give him a root up the hole if he asks me for money again...

    Maybe they should! Why not?

    I just think your ranting about something that's ridiculous. So a beggar was a little bit smart with you. Big flipping flamingo. Get over it and move on.

    What bothers me is that your not giving out about someone being smart with you, your giving out about a beggar being smart with you as if it's terrible that someone who relies on the few euros he/she gets off people like you and me made a smart comment. You weren't going to give him money anyway! It's not like you handed him a fifty euro note and he spat in your face! Then you'd have something to complain about!

    I'm certain that he will be overcome by your generosity and that there will be a Saint Degsy day as a result. National Root A Bum Day.

    Do you not think that people should have the rightto go about thier busness without being hassled for money?
    Why should strangers feel comfortable asking other strangers for handouts and mouthing off at them if they're refused.
    Most people wouldnt have the brass neck to bum money in the streets and rightly so,let the beggars go to hell...abusing people is covered under the Non-Fatal Offences Against The person Act which gives you grounds for self defence if you feel threatened enough.

    on christmas eve there was this roma out side the shopping centre looking for change but i had none.

    When i was coming back out, i felt guilty due to the day that was in it so i fumbled out some for her but she was busy on her god damned mobile.

    I moved on thinking nothing of it only for her to come screaming after me 'please sir please sir'. That pissed me off that she caught me but i gave her a euro, only for her to smirk and say is that all?

    Maybe if people were less obsessed about every penny in their pockets these situations wouldn't have came up in the first place...

    The problem isn't with the beggers attitude, its with the greed humanity knows all too well... If you were on the other end of the stick I'm sure you'd be pissed off too...

    It wouldn't help our poor economy if they where.

    So what if beggars get mouthy, I'd say they're so willing do be that way because people ignore what they say anyway. If it really bothers you so much you can sleep easy knowing he'll be sleeping under a wet sheet of cardboard in some doorway.

    Correction he doesn't rely on money from me as he'll never get it.

    And what if I was actually going to give him change? would he have said no i wasn't asking you! here have it back

    don't think so!

    So we shouldnt work for a living as it begats begging..we should all beg?

    The funny thing is i have to get up for work in the morning and put up with all sorts of shiite in order to get paid,then the poxy government takes a hufge bit out of my arse very month and i just about have enough to get by when the bills are paid.
    I absolutley do not have spare money to give to people who dont want to work..thats what taxes are for.

    I was walking down Grafton street on one of my forays into the city and saw some scruffy beggar next to an ATM, thought nothing of it but passed him 10 minutes later and he was still there talking unashemedly on his mobile phone.

    I was rather surprised.

    Or found it and was ringing someone from the phone book in an attempt to return it to its rightful owner.

    This isn't as unbelievable as the time a chap begging off Grafton street - without missing a beat - offered to break a €20 note for me after I took it out of the wall n said it was all I had.

    I actually cracked up!

    I wouldn't be surprised. The guy outside the ATM on dame street, beside dublin castle wears clothes and runners that I wouldn't buy cos they're too expensive!

    Beggars at ATM's are the worst. They should get to the back of the line and wait their turn just like everyone else! :mad:

    He asked me for change I said I had none.
    He then preceeded to coyly talk crap about me so the people I was with couldn't hear it but I damn sure could,now I can take the usual drunken/drugged up abuse you sometimes have to contend with but he said it with such venom...So I am there plopping my 20cs in (the one day i was right down to the wire in coins for the ticket)and he's there sitting beside the machine calling me every name under the sun,it was horrible.

    They PISS YOU OFF, when you are trying to get your change.

    Its 10 times more difficult to get away from the bastards when they
    know you have change in you hand. :mad:

    I find the one on Abbey street to be the absolute worst for this ****.

    Usually there are 2 of them.

    I normally try to avoid the abbey st one when I can as especially when it gets dark its dodgy as hell. If I do have to use it it's with exact change only too.
    When some of them get money you can see them down around the area drinking their cans etc like 5 minutes later.

    The worst is when they try and press your buttons for ye. Thanks mate I wasn't sure how to work this complex machine. Sure if you werent here I'd be stuck here all night.

    Well said. Giving beggars money only encourages them. If people weren't soft, these beggars would need to get their lives in order instead of depending on handouts.
