    I was walking up James street a few mins ago and from a distance I noticed a Garda squad car had pulled in a 13 bus. As I got closer I realised they had taken an African woman (not having a go at African women here) and her buggy off the bus. I was watching this for about 30 seconds by the time I was close enough to hear what was being said,but the lady was giving out and shouting in the Garda face. When I walked by the lady was screaming " no I havent got a name". She then flagged down the next bus that passed and got onto it with both Garda just looking at each other with I what do we do here kind of face.

    All I can say is great excuse , I am gonna try that if I ever have a run in with the law!!:cool:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,381 ✭✭✭fakearms123


    This is the best/worst excuse I've heard from one of my mates - he answers the door sweating buckets with one sock on and one sock off, the other sock is in his hand, his t-shirt is tucked into his jeans. He told us that he ran so fast down the stairs that he built up a sweat and was using his sock to wipe the sweat off his forehead! Yeah... or you were havin a w*nk mate! :rolleyes:

    So no matter who was in the right or wrong you're going to pick the side of the person who's Irish just because they were born here?

    What the hell is thread about haha?

    Where's the excuse? She refused to give her name?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,677 ✭✭✭staker

    To avoid the Garda questioning she said she has no name
    They obviously asked her name

    Best excuse I hear is ah not tonight I have me periods

    It's frickin genius


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,990 ✭✭✭longshanks

    Why mention the number of the bus? I always suspected he had issues with the number 13 bus.
    He's 13busist, we have to stamp out 13busism.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I wonder why she took her buggy with her, doesn't she know she can get them for free? It must have been full of drugs or illegal immigrants

    racism/even bothering to point out somebody's race when it's not relevant is a little bit different to bus number discrimination

    Why not? Maybe he shouldn't have mentioned it was a woman either. Something about women not being able to drive themselves. People will find a a way to be offended at anything.
    And the people that will find offense at someone being called black will be middle class and white.

    I think it's actually another one of these 'Anti-Women' threads on AH, as OP had no real reason to mention the gender of the person involved.

    Eh, I'm not offended? The reason I mentioned that OP said 'African' over 'woman' or anything else is because he/she also said ''(not having a go at African women here)''. He/she could've said ''not having a go at women here'' instead, so if he/she did say that, I'd have thought ''why mention her gender if it has nothing to do with it?''. Same principle.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,199 ✭✭✭Shryke

    Well I hope it doesn't offend you that I am offended that you find it offensive that I think that you are offended in the first place.

    I was going to read that twice but instead I'm just going to say this. Because of people like you. I could be in the wrong here. I only half read what you're saying, but I'll run with that.

    I'm offended. It's not ignorance to ignore whatever you said, I'm sure it was great. It's just a bit of fun. It's arrogance to think what you said was just enough to decry someone ignorant because they aren't bothered to follow if you get my drift. If you don't then you're ignorant.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,073 ✭✭✭Pottler


    I don't even think it was the best excuse ever, either.:( Coming over here, with their poor excuses. It was bad enough when they were just pissing in our pots, but this, this takes the biscuits. In the Gardas favour, I've a couple of mates who happen to be women, and also happen to be African, and they are well formidable. Not a hope of argueing with them and winning, they'd cuss you down. If the woman was Nigerian, the Gards would need riot shields just to avoid a tongue-lashing. Do not feck with a Nigerian woman. Even Nigerian men don't argue with Nigerian women.

    Just the level of PCism is getting hard to bear these days. So what he he mentions it was a woman or a black person or whatever.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,012 ✭✭✭Plazaman


    Finding it hard to follow what's going on here.

    Is there something wrong with the No 13 Bus that the Garda Schicks are dragging people off it at random? Are you saying they're working for Dublin Bus and now that lady had to pay two Bus fares for the one trip.

    And "I don't have a name" is not a great excuse.

    "Sorry I tripped and fell onto your 18 year old twin daughters and accidentally penetrated them in succession, twice" is a much better excuse

    It's the oldest trick in the book, the one every one uses on the Luas when stung with no ticket and being escorted off three stops from your destination. That and my name is Ben Dover, 123 Fake Street, Tallaght, Dublin. Have you I.D. sir - No.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,204 ✭✭✭dodderangler


    I love the way this went from best excuse to something to Do with race
    It's just typical of some Irish people
    Who cares where she was from the Garda obviously had a perfectly good reason for taking her off the bus
    If it was a white person you would all be like she's probably a junkie or robbed somethin and was caught

    Would yas cop on
