    Woke up this mornin with a very nasty text off this person saying i will be recieving the doctors bill!
    I Am nealy 100% shur i did not give him food poisoning because i had something that was cooked for the same time and im fine!

    I'm pretty sure that you'll be doing time in Mountjoy for this.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,418 ✭✭✭✭hondasam


    This person would have to go to hospital and have tests done to see if they have food poisoning and how they got it.
    If it was from the chipper then you are probably responsible.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 270 ✭✭bicardi19


    yep this comes under attempted murder.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    Well aren't you the friendly towns chippy having numbers of all your customers!

    Just send him the names and numbers of all the people you served that evening and see if any of them ordered the same food and got food poisoning. Surely you could use this as your defence in court.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,647 ✭✭✭✭El Weirdo


    Also, why do you give your mobile number to people that you try to kill?

    Rookie mistake.

    would the owner of the place not be responsible though?

    its a very small local chipper so everyone knows me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,163 ✭✭✭✭danniemcq


    tell him to prove it, it could be a 24 hour bug he has, too many pints after or maybe a bad pint. There are to many variables.

    proof or you won't pay

    Tell them you will need proof of their 'Rusty Water' before ye can proceed with any investigations!

    True


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    Maybe this person has a chip on thier shoulder..they could be codding you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,808 ✭✭✭✭chin_grin


    For the love of cod, what is this world coming to!?

    You could be done for a-salt and batter-y.

    Ugh.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    Tell him you've haddock nuff of whiting for his reply..let him mullet over. Maybe he'll get his skates on because its shrimply not good enough.

    This sounds like salmon who's been lying trout the conversation..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,995 ✭✭✭Sofiztikated


    All puns aside, accept no liability until a fecal test has been done, keep a sample of what he purchased, for an independant test. Food poisoning generally takes 6 hours to develop.

    Until then, he can burger off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Never mind OP, you'll get him next time. No one ever said murder was easy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    Couldn't give a sh1t.

    Unlike your accuser.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    He's a long ray from being able to prove it was you OP.

    All he got was 2 battered sausages and a chip!

    does he not like chips that much?

    very odd meal


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,096 ✭✭✭✭the groutch


    It's up to him to prove that it was your food which caused it.
    Any liability would be with the owner, not you.
    And if the texts continue, don't be afraid to contact the Gardai.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,333 ✭✭✭jonnyfingers


    I think it's only fair that all of us here in After Hours get some free samples of your chips and battered sausages so we can perform a proper analysis of the situation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,737 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    The burden of proof is on him. Tell him to get tests done on his poo or GTFO.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,199 ✭✭✭CardBordWindow


    An out of court settlement of a free snack box would sort this thing out! :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,897 ✭✭✭MagicSean


    I drank 14 pints last night and was sick this morning. Must have been that burger i got.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭Teyla Emmagan


    I don't think you can get food poisoning from anything deep fried. Unless it was completely laden with disease beforehand.

    Also, who goes to a doctor with food poisoning?!

    Food poisoning can take up to 7 days to develop, it has been known to take longer in some cases.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,659 ✭✭✭Siuin


    Ooh didn't realise it was possible to sue the chef if you get food poisoning

    There are Chinese and Indians all OVER the place who owe me :mad:

    It's only real food poisoning if you have to shit in the toilet and puke in the sink at the same time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon

    Real food poisoning is puking in the toilet while shitting in the sink :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,663 ✭✭✭Immaculate Pasta


    My advice OP would just be to hide under a pile of coats and hope that somehow everything will work out :cool:

    That's why you should keep the poison on a different shelf than the salt and vinegar.

    "There ye go, that'll be €2.20..oh and take my number aswell just incase ye need it"

    .....:confused::confused::confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 219 ✭✭Randy Anders


    There's a nasty vomiting bug going around at the mo, loads of people are sick with it so he'll find it hard to prove it was your chipper that made him ill

    Also, there is almost no situation in life that doesn't offer an op-perch-tuna-ty for a good fish pun, so there you are!

    If it was real food poisoning they'd be more worried about the dry-cleaning and carpet-cleaning bills than the doctor's bill.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 670 ✭✭✭Naomi00


    Well if someone accuses a restaurant or hotel etc of food poisoning it has to be investigated by the Food Safety Authority I think.

    So if it was investigated and found out that the OP didn't cause the food poisoning then you won't have to pay for anything.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    Sounds to me like this person has not so much a chip on his shoulder but a sack of potatoes .
