Caught a junkie routing through my van today

jeepers101

So I was driving through temple bar today at about 5 o clock, hungry and running late for a meeting. I pulled over to the side of the road after some pizza in a shop front caught my eye.

I stuck on the hazards, jumped out and in my haste I forgot to lock the van.

I was parked literally right outside the pizza/italian restaurant and was keeping an eye on the van as it was parked at the side of a tight road and I was trying to make sure I wasn't preventing another motorist from getting past.

I was the only customer in the restaurant and I ordered a slice of pizza to take away. After the pizza was taken from the window and put in the oven (about 40 seconds) I checked my van again. I thought I saw someone walking behind it and stopping at the driver door.

I ran out as quick as I could and found a junk ball scrout with the driver door open leaning into the van. I pulled him out and found him with my phone and wifi dongle in his hand. I took them back and asked him what the fuke he was doing. His reply;

"Ah jaysus... you're lucky you caught me"

You gotta love this country.

I hate people that double park and stick on their hazards as if it gives them some sort of immunity from the law.

*Climbs off high horse*

You illegally parked your van, by using your hazard lights as your right to park.

You've come to after hours.

You're f*cked...

What type of pizza was it?

This is why I am in the habit of locking my car, it's locked even if I only walk in to pay for petrol. And my car doesn't even have central locking nevermind remote central locking.

I wish he'd gotten your phone, van drivers with their park anywhere lights are the worst.

Did you tip the person who served you pizza?

When you said that you were driving through Temple bar and pulled over and put on your hazards. Why would you put on your hazards if you were parked legally?

I was in the pizza shop for lunch today too OP.

Ordered large pepperoni, and the bloke behind the counter, when taking it from the oven asked me, 'cut into 4, or 8 slices'?

I said 4 please, sure I couldn't eat 8 slices on me own. :mad:

Don't ever come to France then, your head would probably explode from the pent-up, unnecessary rage.
I bet you hate people who drive in bus lanes too

Do people here seem to be bothered more over chancey parking than stealing to fund a drug habit?

No. I drive with my lights on during the day for the same reason.

You can't have been that hungry if all you ordered was a slice

Its AH. If I didn't park at the side of the road and leave my hazards on I'd probably be ridiculed for leaving the van unlocked... or being able to afford some takeaway pizza.

What toppings did you get on the pizza?

OP, were you driving on the planet Temple Bar when this happened? You do know it's boxed off in most places for pedestrians?

Apache are still selling the large pizzas for a tenner. I can't wait till that deal is over, I'm starting to put on a belly. I could be doing with a blonde Finnish lady if I keep eating them
