    They're grand! I dont pay much attention to them, dont take anything off them, dont give them any money. Although one time one of them chased myself and a friend around the toilets because she thought we stole her money. We didnt.

    Ah but you probably did :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,741 ✭✭✭✭Ally Dick


    I've noticed earlier in the night, nobody tips them. But as the night wears on, the tipping gets more generous and sometimes Anto and Deco are engaged in long conversations with the beggar and back slapping is the order of the day.

    What? What is this? Are we talking about junkies and alcos standing in toilets asking you for change for the bus?

    Where the fukk do you drink OP?

    You sure it was a pub? You sure it wasn't down a piss soaked alley you presumed was a pub toilet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,295 ✭✭✭Joe10000


    I believe some of them are dealers now too, all should be stopped, I can dry my own hands thank you very much.

    Ah Cheryl this is where you're hiding! :P

    Are we talking about actual beggars or the toilet lady with all the stuff? Toilet lady with all the stuff is great if get stuck for anything, beggars in the toilet is weird and never saw that.

    I've never seen this either!!! definitely agree the toilet lady has been a god send to me! I met one recently and she had a GHD on hand I'd say she made a killing as it was windy as hell outside. I say fair play to her anyway. but agrees also very strange if random people are begging in the toilets! :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,243 ✭✭✭✭Jesus Wept


    If they look at me, I say hello, I use the bathroom, I leave.
    Works for me.

    If there was more of them in womens loos especially at the weekends, then maybe a good thing. Gents too...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 387 ✭✭DaveDaRave


    I assume the OP is referring to people of african decent who offer cologne and other services for a small fee.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    I hate it. Don't come near me with your damn hand-soap. I'm a grown man, I can wash my own fcuking hands!

    You need all the help you can washing your hands. :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,741 ✭✭✭✭Ally Dick


    I'm not talking about beggars in the original post. I am talking about gentlemen from Africa who "charge" money to hand you paper to wipe your hands after you wash them. It's a disgrace. Pubs should not be allowing them to blackmail their customers

    You can politely decline the paper towel and use the hand dryer.

    Exactly its not as if you have to pay a fee at the door.Btw do Stephens Green's jacks still charge ya for a piss ?

    I wouldn't give them the steam off my piss.

    They're probably ok with that!

    Yep, 20c, same as in the Swan Centre in Rathmines and The Ilac.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,277 ✭✭✭poisonated


    I just tell them I will give it to them next time. I use this time as a chance to gauge their character. If they seem nice I will give them 2 euro the next time, if they don't, I won't give them anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 585 ✭✭✭Mayo Miss


    The woman in the niteclub I go to travels from Galway to Westport to provide her services in the loo. They must be making decent money. I am always polite but what bugs me is how cunning she is.

    As soon as your hands go under tap she has the toilet roll or kitchen towel ready for you, if you chose to use the hand dryer you have to move her off her high stool as she sits in front of them. And the one she isn't sitting in front off is switched off!

    This thread is racist.

    This thread is drawing on the indisputable fact that most bathroom attendants happen to be black males (hence blackmail).

    If I said there are loads of black people in Africa, would I be being racist? No. I'd be stating a fact. So shh.

    Wrong!!!!!! No males allowed into the ladies toilets, black, white or any other colour!:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,811 ✭✭✭xoxyx


    I don't know. If they shaved their legs and put on a nice dress maybe...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,025 ✭✭✭problemchimp


    When I seen the o.p.s username and read something about begging for it in the jacks I thought this was a completely different type of thread,. But while I'm here I say just ignore them if you don't want their services.

    It's tacky as hell and I don't like it; it used to be all the rage in Dublin years ago to have someone in there but it's just all sorts of wrong. I don't have a problem with the people doing the job but I also don't feel comfortable with somebody in the bathroom offering me hand towels for money. It's just not pleasant in any way.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,258 ✭✭✭✭Rabies


    This is like one of these "I'm not a racist but...." threads.
    Sitting on a knife edge.
