Have you ever been approached by a prostitute in Ireland?

    I was in Dundalk earlier and on my way out of a Lidl car-park a girl tapped on the window.. I unlocked the door and she asked for a euro. Now she did not look like a junkie or scumbag in any way whatsoever, she was actually quite respectable and nice looking, so it was odd that she would ask for €1 like =/

    Anywho, I had no change on me at the time and told her that I couldn't help her out. Then she asked if I wanted to "do business".. Shocked I was.. this happened in broad daylight in a very busy area. I just said no thanks and drove off. Am I naive to think that this was in any way out of the ordinary?

    Maybe I completely misunderstood what she meant.. perhaps she wanted me to go on Dragon's Den with her.

    Has anyone else had a similar type of experience here?

    I'd be lying if I said that part of me didn't regret saying no :pac:

    Only 1 euro??!!!

    You should've gave her a tenner and kept her for the week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,456 ✭✭✭✭Mr Benevolent


    The Dundalk Mafia (KeithM89 & Pighead) will come down on you like a ton of pigs now. I'd run if I were you.

    Serious answer: That makes no sense. Someone was having you on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 181 ✭✭Vandy West


    maybe she wanted a euro for a cart

    something similar happened to me one day, being a young bucko just moved up to Dublin I looked the lady straight in the face and said "...but I'm not selling anything?"
    And then the realisation hit me, a prostitute was looking down on me for being stupid. Oh the horror, I still think of the rotten yoke (& she was utter filth, a few teeth missing and a face only a surgeon would love to work on) every time I drive down the quay around Smithfield

    Are you sure it just wasn't the car park attendant?

    I was propositioned around there a few years back. Dirty aids infested chronic junkie. Looked like she only had hours to live.

    Yeah, it's definitely odd. I go to that gym sometimes and have never seen or heard of something like it happening. Another thing that was odd is that she (at least sounded) English. She was slim with long, straight, jet-black hair and in her early 20's and had a cracking arse. I had considered reporting it because it just seemed so bizarre at the time. I hope she wasn't in any danger or trouble and just looking to get away from there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,758 ✭✭✭✭TeddyTedson


    Probably just a hooker having a sale or something. You'd pay the euro this week and watch the price would rocket up to the standard 40quid by next week.
    They really do have you by the balls in this country.

    Something about a mother or something.

    The only way I'd pay 40 quid for them to have a grip of my balls would be if it was with their arse.

    Could have been one of them lidl weekly specials.

    Man I would of taken her to the nearest alley way let her blow me, then as she got out reversed over her and robbed her money and drove off and got on with my next job/mission...

    I took my dog for a walk on the beach earlier today and was quite surprised by youthful topless sunbathers in the lee of a mighty cliff. Shocked I was, all I wanted was to exercise Fizz and maybe scour out some cockles for a quick snack, but there I was left glancing sidelong at glistening boobs.

    No particular relation to the thread, but I thought I would share.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 47 Continuity Wolfe Tone


    Wouldn't it be funny if she was just coming on to you and wasn't a prostitute at all :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 973 ✭✭✭eurokev


    yep, in cork by the appartment blocks by the college of comm, healy hall or something I think its called. Was heading through the street about 10 after work to meet a few freinds, and this really old one was standing right outside the door and asked me if I was interested. Was so taken aback. She must have been at least 60 and looked like someone you would see on the early 90's COPS show. Black leather skirt, black fish netty stockings and a short black top. With a withered face, like your hands go from being in the shower too long you know, probably from being spunked on for so many years, uuuuggghhh


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭Simi


    I'm sure it was a prostitute, but it also could have been someone trying to sell you drugs?

    Anyway yes, there was a brothel above a shop I used to work in years ago. They used to buy sweeties from me. :D Oh & phone credit, always with the phone credit.

    Wise man OP for driving away

    Wasn't there a lot of Limerick men who got named and shamed after being stung by an undercover garda.

    Gotta be careful


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭44leto


    A few times

    About 3 months ago on OConnell street I was offered a BJ for the printably sum of "15" euro, I kind of went "HUH".
    Yeah down the alley there (just next to the Abbey Theatre) then I became instantly suspicious.

    She wasn't a bad looking girl, not that, that was a concern for a "15"euro BJ, while still a bit tipsy. But I kind of thought what a perfect way to mug someone, down a dark alley way, some accomplishes waiting, my dick out and a knife in my back. So I said no thanks and walked off towards the taxi rank.

    If it happened wouldn't have even reported it.

    A work mate was parked up near Arbour hill(Dublin) drinking a coffee from a nice little Italian shop up there, girl taps on the window ( do you's want any Business).....he was dumb founded...

    I had to laugh, the way he was telling the story, he said she was like Lego, I said what do you mean Lego? (In bits she was) Haha.


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


    I had one askin me for €3.50, turns out it was that damn Loch Ness Monster in drag.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,048 ✭✭✭✭Snowie


    lego = in bits I like that :cool:


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


    A prostitute in Waterford tried to pimp out one of my classmates in 4th year, in the middle of Red Square at lunchtime.

    Any Waterford Boardsies will know the mad hoor I'm talking about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 216 ✭✭AboutTwoFiddy


    A euro? Sounds about right for Dundalk women.

    Did they ask what you had that would take away the taste of festering knob?:confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,473 ✭✭✭✭Super-Rush


    I was in a club in town(Carlow) on night about 5 or 6 years ago and got chatting to this really fit girl out in the smoking area. She said that her and her friend were new in town and didn't really know many people.

    She asked if they could join me and my friends for a drink inside and i said sure why not. After a couple of hours we decided we'd head off to a party. Things got a bit hot and heavy in the taxi and she suggested that we let the rest of them go to the party and we could go back to my place.

    So after the rest of them got out, we set off to my house. As we were going down the main street she asked me if i had cash on me or would i need to stop off at an ATM. I said i had enough money on me to cover the taxi. She laughed and said it would cost me €200 for the night or €50 for a blowjob.

    It took a few seconds for me to cop on before i asked the driver to stop and i got out and walked the rest of the way home.

    She probably wanted change for a trolley.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Mr.Biscuits


    Loads of times in the UK - around Soho, when I lived there in the 90's but no, never in Ireland.

    Although one said "Hello" to me and smiled as I was walking along the Canal, near the Mespil, as I was heading home from he RDS one night - guess that was an 'approach' of sorts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 869 ✭✭✭Icemancometh


    Yeah, years ago on Blackhall place. Some junkie stepped out of a doorway and asked if I wanted to do business. My honest reaction was, you look like a junkie, I'm not sure you'd be trustworthy in any sort of business relationship. Just said no and kept walking. Took me a good 30 seconds to figure it out:eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    I was propositioned by a brazzer on christmas eve one year.

    €30 for a blowie with no johnnie

    You should send it into Paul Connolly on TV3. He will add it to his next documentary on prostitutes

    I used to live in that area and used to see a woman fitting that description walking around looking for business the odd time. Queen Street area, just off Benburb Street which used to be well known for prostitutes in pre internet and luas days. Only time I've ever seen a streetwalker in Ireland.

    This the alley next to Wynns Hotel, on Abbey Street, just off O'Connell St? Think its called Harbour Court? Anyways it's a notorious black spot for muggings, friend of mine was stabbed there a few years ago when he refused to hand over his wallet/phone. You definitely made the right decision there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,798 ✭✭✭goose2005


    Maybe she was some sort of Ryanair hooker

    ONLY €1 A RIDE!!*

    *Condoms €20 extra. Not robbing you €30 extra. Touching any part of my body except vagina €50 extra.

    That was the place, sorry about your mate,,but LOL its nice to hear I made the right decision. It seems the perfect mugging, very few would report the circumstances. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a regular thing with them.
