Non National window cleaner

Speculator

Anybody notice the non national window clearner beside the bridge across from the goverment buildings in the city (Dublin).

I've passed him 5 times over the last week, he cleans car windows despite drivers winding down their window to tell him to get a way. When this happens the non national either spits in the window or raises his hand to assault the driver.

People like this should be deported asap, its that type of attitude that gives certain non national races a bad name. Now I'm not a racist but I believe people should have manners and at least try to work for a living. This guy is obviously used to putting pressure on people to give him money, if that does work he uses bullying tactics.

Wave a big stick at him

You say you're not a rascist, but you had to bring up the point that he was a non national. Would you have said that the person involved was Irish if that was the case? Why bring the persons race into it at all?

When you have to explain this, your argument goes out the window.

Surely the OP mentioned that the window cleaner was foreign as his solution was for him to be deported. Obviously he couldnt be deported if he were Irish

Also wrt the 'Im not a racist but..' comment, every man & his dog in this country seems to have become overly PC. The slighest mention of ethnicity, even in a discriptive manner tends the draw all sorts of accusations from the PC brigade, hence the need to emphasise that the complaint is not racially motivated

Not originally from the nation he/she is currently residing.

No no, thats a FOREIGN national. ie: someone from a foreign nation. A NON national is someone who does not have a nationality of any kind.

Just start licking your windows on the inside. Confuses the **** out of them.

If you think non-nationals are bad here, see what they're like in other countries. It'll shock you.

It's a disgrace.

Especially when you consider all the wonderful Irish people you find in Dublin city centre The board walk in particular is a joyful throng of decent natives.

Abrasax

He's been there, on the quays, for 5 days spitting on peoples windows and assaulting them and the Guards haven't done anything yet?

Trekker09

Are non Nationals allowed into the National Ballroom?

tommyhaas

Non national literally means no nationality. I know people use it, as its apparently more PC then 'foreign national, but people are idiots

The media use the term non national.
So do government departments and our own ministers say non-national,

The Gardai, specifically the Garda National Immigration Bureau use the term and a quick google search shows and so does Trinity College, they have many students from abroad

The GNIB is located 5 minutes walk from Trinity College at Burgh Quay (see address details below). All non-nationals who are not citizens of an EU state, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, must register with the GNIB to receive a registration certificate.

The OP makes a point and everyone jumps at them as you know better??
You can see where the OP and public get this term from, if it's bothering you and it obviously bothered you enough to post here, then contact the offical agencies who use it.

Cos they took our jobs.

Nervous Wreck

A 'non-national' is a person who is not a citizen of the country in which they're residing. Jesus lads, I can't believe the amount of people who don't understand the term.

Why couldn't they just be a scumbag, like in the 8 million other threads on boards about scumbags?

'When this happens the non national either spits in the window or raises his hand to assault the driver.'

In the five times you've passed him by this week OP, have you actually seen him do this? What happens when he spits in the window? What happens when he raises his hand to assault the driver? Because I know what I would do if anyone spat at me while I was in my car...or raised their hand to assault me. 999.

This sounds like an urban myth to me. A bit like the one about 'all the nigerians getting 5grand a head from Social Welfare, to buy themselves a car, because they are getting racially abused on public transport':rolleyes:

I know what ya mean OP: I don't like the window cleaning solutions Lidl and Aldi have to offer - smudgy finish. I stick with St Bernard.

OP , you have to admire his intiative but obviously he needs to work on the customer care aspect of his enterprise.

Ya, because every racist starts their rants with, "I'm a racist and..".

Daemos

Wait for him to start cleaning your window and then spray him. And then drive over his foot. He'll get the message eventually.

You can be sure that's not true.

Im assuming he/she was just being descriptive. The OP was asking if anyone eles had experienced this person, and was hence giving a discription of the person. No different IMO, to the OP describing the window cleaner as 'long haired'

No they dont, your right, hence the need for the OP to clarify that their complaint was not racially motivated

My point is that I reckon quiet a lot of people have become overly PC, and far too quick to accuse others of racism etc

Dudess

I agree sometimes there can be overly zealous jumping on the much maligned "I'm not racist but" intro when sometimes the user actually may NOT be racist, but the "PC brigade" catcall and its derivatives - it's just painful... Can something new be used?

I find window-cleaner good for buffing my PC screen too.

Funny because by saying it it makes the OP sound like a racist considering the rest of the sentence had nothing to do with race.

mikemac

The OP never once mentioned race, they said they were a non-national.
And realy, most of Europe and the Western World is the same race as the majority of Irish people.

So if the OP had a problem with their nationality that would be xenophobia, not racism.

I believe the American term is a pan handler and if this person is hassling motorists in Dublin then just call the gardai. In that location right across from government buildings there is a garda presence
