Switching cinema screens, riding the Luas for free and other "law bending"

I imagine something to do with cannabis laws will be fairly popular.

Switching cinema screens and riding the luas for free, not so cool. If you use a service, then pay for it.

The AH rule that says complaining about other people breaking the law is worse than breaking the law yourself and that brickbats should be throw at the complainer.

I'd love to smash that one to bits.

dodging the fare on the luas is one thing,but switching screens is no big thing.

Years ago with friends i wanted to see austin powers but we were too young, so we paid for star wars the phantom menace(Which we already seen) and snuck into the austin powers one.When that was over i went back into the star wars one seeing as i paid for it.:D;)

Since this is about dodging fares and paying what you owe

If you're feeling hungry and don't have enough money and if you don't mind eating salads. Head into tesco salad counter, there's a salad tray which they charge €4. Fill it up as much as you can. Peel off the barcode thats on the plastic tray, that scans it in as €4. Go to the self service counter and weigh it in as carrots. 50c salad for you.

My house is adorned with an assorted array of toiletries from various hotels I've stayed in over the years.

I particularly get great use out of the shower cap I got from a Dublin hotel once.

I saw my neighbor ride home on a fancy bicycle. We have each other a 'Hello' and I said, 'New bike? Looks good' and he tells me he bought it with the cycle-2-work scheme.

Seeing as I pay taxes and taxes were used to subsidize his bicycle, I figured, it wasn't *really* his, right?

That Sunday, I stole it. I figured he'd be sleeping since he works on Mondays...I just took a large wrench and twisted the cable lock until it snapped (cheap lock - was real easy).

Then I took it inside my place. Waited a month and sold it on DoneDeal.ie

Before people get upset - keep in mind, he has a CAR - so it's not like he needed it.

I remember when Tesco (might have been Quinnsworths at the time) used to have a huge pick&mix section, it was almost expected to eat a couple, put some in the bag, eat a couple.....etc etc:D

Torrenting music/movies.
It's just the norm for most people, they don't even think twice. I actually don't anymore with Netflix at home and Xbox Music on the phone, but I certainly used to. Daily visits to Limewire for a tune or two. But I still only wound up with a thousand or so songs.

I find it gas that many of my mates claim music to be their passion and that they're pretty much aficionados, yet they have thousands and THOUSANDS of songs, a fraction of which were legitimately paid for

Not sure if it's technically illegal in this country though.

Still nicked something off someone who thought he was friendly.
It's the breach of trust I'd look down upon, not the actual theft.

PinkLemonade

Does anyone pay their TV licence before being asked to?

I have done the double cinema thing in my youth, and have been in too much of a hurry to buy a luas ticket before. Not really proud of either.
I also have last myself be undercharged before, wasn't sure until I checked the receipt outside but I didn't do it at the till even though I had a feeling.

I must look so dishonest! The shame

I find it sad that this post got thanked by several people.

This is a great example of the lack of integrity, social conscience, and solidarity that led to our economic collapse.

You have displayed that you have no integrity, and neither do the people who thanked your post.

its probably a piss take. and even if it isn't.. well i hate the bike to work scheme and the stereotypical subsidy-users too

In relation to UCDvet's post, I think the only thing that's been stolen is some folks ability to sense a JOKE.

So basically just steal the food? Little different from walking out without paying for it at all surely? It is being sold on the basis you pay the €4.

I'm a little behind with my mortgage.

The bank manager called me in for a meeting.

I offered to pay back around 50% of the original loan.

He said where did you come up with that figure

I said "I pulled it out of my arse".

He replied "that's fine so - seems reasonable"

Really. I ought to reach through the internet and slap you in the face. "People like you are what's wrong with the country" twits. If I had a euro every time I ****ing heard that I'd be able to buy a ****ing politician to ban the phrase entirely.
