Only In Ireland

newmills

Was in a shop in sligo a while back.
Old one in front of me at the queue - blind as bat - "can i get 3 scratchcards?"
Young lad on the till gets the 3 scratchcards.
Old one "can you scratch them for me"
Young fellow scratches them.....no nothing again mrs hagan.
Old one "god i've no luck"
For fcuk sake - even if you'd won a tenner the young lad is keeping that for beer tokens.
Only in Ireland

You assume the guy behind a counter is a thief because the woman is blind?

Only in Ireland:rolleyes:

Anywhere else in the world. You'd swear the Irish were a different, more dishonest specie of human or something.

But lets play this game anyway...

Would you see it innnnnnnnn....England?

Right so she doesn't win again...spot that word - again

Would it not occur to her that the reason she has no luck is that every time she buys a scratchcard and the young lad scratches it she wins feck all.

Jesus you're all so honest you'd tell her if she'd only won 2 quid!!:rolleyes:

I consider myself honest, if she won 1000 Euro, I'll tell her. But I'd tell her that sadly the labour and working time lost, seconds of my precious life lost, productivity in our fragile economy lost my scratching fee for the years of scratching her cards is exactly 1000 Euro, so I'll just have to take her winnings.

OP, only in Ireland would someone judge the old lady as all sweet, innocent and thrusting. She was probably watching that fella like a hawk, she might have appeared to be blind as a bat, but i bet she could spot a 2-for-1 offer in Dunes Stores from half a mile away, and if that young fella had of tried to do her out of 2e, she would have had her umbrella (all old woman carry umbrella's) impaled up his arse in a blink of an eye.

Only in Ireland do we forget all old people are evil.

Slighty off topic sorry but funny at the time

Old lady from accounts in her late 60s asked me did i get last nights lotto results as it was a big one the previous night (about 10 million)

She took out her lotto slip and i took out the morning paper to call out the numbers to her,but because she hadnt got her glasses on she couldnt see the numbers in the paper but i could see her numbers on the slip

So i casually started to call out her numbers on her he lotto slip one by one and as i got to the fifth number her hand was shaking but i said fcuk it and called out her final number .......and my jesus she nearly creamed herself until i had to calm her down and tell her i was only messing with her

She then took off her shoe and chased me all over the shop till she left me with at least six heal marks in my forehead

i work in a shop and have hod customers buy twp scratch cards and ask me to scratch one. there have been times where there is money in them and i have told them straight out, some customers take the ticket back and ask emto cash the prize in for themselves to keep,, while others have told me to keep it beacuse i was so honest in the first place! why would you bother robbing from them like that? wouldn't it just be easier to overcharge them if you wanted to go down that road?
