What would you do?

Spore

I'm literally just in the door from an embarrassing episode, I was in the local chipper in Clontarf and I found myself in the queue behind these two fúckwits who, having thought they were short-changed, wait for it – fifteen cents – gave a tirade of abuse to the poor Eastern European girl behind the counter. They gave her hell. It was awful, because I knew if I stuck my neck out, they’d give me a good pummelling.

These idiots even had the gall to ring the local police station, claiming that they’d been discriminated against! WTF? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing!

Of course they fúcked off before the coppers came. I thought I’d do the only thing I could reasonably do and follow them, see if they lived locally… They didn’t… But I got the number of the taxi took and the name of the taxi service. Is it worth pursuing with the guards? I gave the chipper my name and mobile number to back up any claims they might have.

/rant over.

Honestly? It's not worth pursuing.

If they didn't assault anyone or do anything except act like complete ****wits then just chalk it up to experience.

This thread made me hungry

I would piss in their cornflakes, see how they like it.

Sorry about that, i had the ****s for a week after eating there.
Last time you under cooked the chicken i bet.:p

Spore

Sigh. My righteous indignation knows no bounds...
Pity. The girl was in tears. I'd loved to see them called up on this one.

I'd order a snackbox or fresh cod and chips. Probably a can of coke too

You should have followed their taxi and murdered them.

If it was me (and I'm a stubborn bugger), I'd wait till a day or two.
Hang on to any info you have!
Wait to see if the girl gets any agro, etc. If so, anything you could do to help might see justice better done.
Glad to see you were thoughtful enough to give your number to the chipper.

I'd do the above but every persons situation is different so your really only the best judge to the predicament your currently in.

Ahh, lets see, I'll have the Hindu Curry, Steak and Chips, and a glass of Coke thanks.

You could always ring the local station and tell them what happened. You never know they might have been causing other people grief tonight too.

It would only take you 5 min, but don't ring the emergency number, get the station number. Try and be as percise about times as possible.

AlmightyCushion

Being honest I'd probably do sweet fúck all. I'd like to think I'd tell the guys to cop the fúck on though.

True and if poss' write it all down as you can remember it. The mind can fail later as regards the time-line and series of events in the correct order they happened.
I've done this myself a number of times. Its very useful to the Gardi later.
They judge it to be a more accurate account - and a judge considers it to definitely more trustworthy.

Hi Spore on behalf of the Garda can i just say the force finds your upset in a chippie in Clontarf a major priority and wish to assure you the force would listen carefully to this breakdown in society.


NEXT!

Do you know where you are? You're in a police station.

You do realise impersonating a Garda is a criminal offence?

Spore

Arrggh!

The whole reason I posted was the whole 'I can't believe it's happening in front of me' thing. I thought I would have reacted differently, like, I dunno, karate chopped the guy in the neck, then be showered in kisses by the girl behind the counter. Sadly the whole scenario was quite pathetic. Half way through a mother and her four kids came in. The mother kept looking at me as if I'd do some intervention. All I could do was try and (reasonably) contradict some of the racist comments the guys were making.

No heroism happened tonight. None!

Yes but, then again, so is blasphemy these days.

So Jesus-rimjobbing-Christ if we ain't got a predicament on our hands here!

Ah, come on, they don't seem to give a f*ck about anything, why do you think they bother posts on the forum? Overweight lads flirting with always-on-the-mobile females, having a walk, ehm, "patrol" on very few of the streets...

Personal visit at the Station: "Some vandals broke my wing mirror" - there is nothing we can do.
Another visit: "Hi, my bonnet got badly scratched by a scumbag. I'm not expecting you to catch him, but maybe you could increse patrols around my area?" - there is nothing we can do.
Phonecall: "It's 10pm and there is a bunch of 14-17 y.o. drunk lads smoking weed in the lane near my house. They are messing smashing bottles around the place" - we send someone down as soon as possible. (No one appeard - there was nothing they could do I guess)
And another 3 phonecalls for stolen cars that've been dumped in front of my house during last year. And one more, when some scumbags robbed a local Spar and I've seen them running away with a crate of lager. No one got caught, obviously. Could they do anything? I bet - nothing

From what I've seen so far Police (Gards, Gardai, whatever) in this country are useless. Why to waste money calling them though? I'm sure there is nothing they can do anyway. Apart from getting themselves fish&chips while talking to the girl "You'l be grand, get yourself a cup of tea, but there is nothing we can do..."

Rant over.

Yeah - they're all top-notch.

You however do not seem to be familiar with the Irish tradition of 'taking the piss'. No matter, you'll pick it up soon enough.
