Bellends Shouting Insults From Taxis

zcorpian88

Not often I start a thread but here we go.

I'm just back from a week away to Edinburgh with the girlfriend. Had a great time and I didn't get a chance to post here while I was away.

Anywho, I'll cut to the chase, last Sunday myself and the girlfriend were up in Dublin walking around the city killing the day before we would catch our flight the next day. The city was busy as Limerick were playing Kilkenny in the Semi Final up in Croker.

We were on the Lower Ormond Quay area near enough where Yamamori is when some arsehole (possibly a Limerick Supporter think it was a green jersey he was wearing) shouted an insult at my girlfriend from a grey taxi. My girlfriend isn't a skinny girl, so I may as well say it was weight related and for woman a jibe about weight can be devastating.

This dude stuck his head out the window and shouted "Fat Bitch" and then got caught at a set of traffic lights and I in a rage when I heard what was said dropped my bags and darted up after him hoping to get the c**t before the lights changed, but the lights changed before I got to him. Pissed me off immensely after we came up to enjoy the build up to the holiday. I was trying to make her feel better for the first day or two afterwards because she is really sensitive and she put a brave face on it and she said she was fine and so on, so I left it because we didn't want it spoiling the holiday.

She put on some weight after her brother died suddenly a few years before I met her, and the girl is awesome. intelligent, witty, funny, caring etc, what I like in a girl, she won me over straight away.

Was messaging her earlier on after we both went home and she didn't want to tell me but she felt very depressed and down over what this guy said and she wanted to cry most of the time and she didn't want to say because she didn't want it to ruin the holiday. I'm just so sad for her and I want vengeance in general for this motherf**ker insulting my girlfriend.

So any similar stories lads? Did anyone get even? Share your experience.

Cheers

You sound like a nice guy. Just keep reassuring her and making her feel good.

I've a friend who shouted bus **** a few times. Still cracks me up even though it's an old joke these days.

Tail Docker

Maybe he was an ex of hers. Perhaps she broke his heart...or else he's just a random dickwad. You'll get that.

Frosty McSnowballs

And then what happened?

Seriously though, why give a fcuk about what some asshat shouts out from the back of a taxi. Fcuk them, not worth getting upset about it.

GoldFour4

He'd probably had a few cans and felt like the funniest man on earth. Fair play for trying to stand up to him op.

helimachoptor

If it's upsetting her that much maybe it'll motivate her to lose weight. Sister in law was in a pub in Galway with then boyfriend, misunderstanding happened and he was asked to leave which he did but given he's a big lad probably 6'5 and 18 stone of gym sessions one of the bouncers tried to show off to his mates, bf told him to cop on, bouncer got aggressive, sister in law told bouncer to calm down, bouncer says @ shut up you fat pig" he pummelled the guy that said it, took a few slaps on the way out but nothing bad.

She lost weight they broke up and it's back on again

Man+too much drink+buddies+easy target = obnoxious w**ker.

Don't waste your energy OP. Karma will catch up with him.

I done it all buddy, I'm a gent wherever possible, not to blow my own trumpet of course. I was out for blood last Sunday, I'd have been arrested if I got a hold of that guy. Have no convictions but my first would have been well worth it.

Macavity.

Not as bad as your GF's experience, but just yesterday I was walking along the quays (the northside) and some dick slowed down his car and said "Hey, you dropped something" and I looked behind me only to find that I had not dropped something. The man laughed hysterically and before I knew it his friend had hit the accelerator and I was unable to get my revenge.

Why did you run after them? Just ignore them. Dont feed the trolls

WellThen?

Best thing is not to make a big deal about it. It was an insult from somebody unimportant so the jibe itself should be seen as such.

You sound like a caring guy, but if my boyfriend got upset at a randomer shouting that at me I'd just feel even worse. Different story if it was someone you knew, then I'd want him to stand up for me.

Sorry to hear that happened to you both. Cowardly cnut, whoever he was.

Nah, it wouldn't. Imagine if you were convicted, or had to pay compensation to avoid a conviction, all because of an asshole? You did right.

Because sometimes a man's got to do what a man's got to do. That's why!

Maybe, but it's hardly justification for someone being a complete knob.

A few years ago I was playing football out in Naas. Me and my mates usually play 5 a side, but we were asked to pay against an under 21's team in their pre season. Anyway one lad was acting the big man on the pitch going in hard etc. He got as good as he got from me anyway, within limits.
Afterwards, he was in the back of his buddys car driving off when he started mouthing off at me. I looked up the field and saw the gate was shut. Off I trotted up the field and caught the little b@stard before they could get the gate open. Such a beautiful sweet rap in the teeth he got for himself. I'll admit, it felt good.

Just take solace from the fact that people who behave like that don't tend to have very fulfilling or successful lives.

Unconfirmed green jersey...

Could have been a Celtic, Fermanagh, New York Jets, Real Betis, Shamrock rovers, Nigeria, FC Nantes, Boston Celtics, Irish rugby team, Irish football team, Irish women's rugby team, Irish women's football team, Irish international rules, Mexico, Green Bay Packers, Vancouver Canucks, Hibernian, Plymouth Argyle, Werder Bremen, Sporting Lisbon supporter...

... Or a lad in a fetching, green shirt.

Limerick gets blamed for every bloody thing... Even calling your girlfriend fat.

Ah, she must be gutted. I know that feeling all too well It can be so easy to say 'don't let it bother you', but once it's said then it's said and it sticks with you. You sound like you're doing your best to reassure her, just give her a wee bit of time to get past it. As for losing the weight, she'll do that when she's good and ready - and that will be the right time.

Was walking down the quays myself with a friend about a year ago who is black, and some a-hole shouts the 'N' word at him from a passing car. I've never been so ashamed of my country as I was at that moment.

Best vengeance is to live well. You have each other and you seem like sweethearts.

Nasty people attract others like them.

You have your revenge.

Once the taxi sped off I went back and you know hugged and re-assurred her and minded her and spent the day making her feel better, when I seen her looking glum I knew what it was over I did everything possible to make her feel better, when you fire insults at a girl about her weight, it's a massive knock to confidence. I was just annoyed in general, came at the worst possible time when we had our baggage and looking forward to a week away, saving for months and months, only for her to be insulted to a degree of feeling s**t for the best part of a week, if anyone deserved a stress free holiday it was her, she worked like a dog all year.

If a man gets insulted about their weight, we can be more thick skinned but for a woman it really sticks.

Sucks about your friend Saoirse, brave men full of drink and a car under their arse mouthing off.

Felt pretty helpless though, wanted to defend the girlfriends honour silly as it sounds, was a moment of provoked rage.

Yeah whatever. Two questions -

1, How many of those other teams were playing in Dublin that day?

2. How long did you spend googling the names of sports teams from around the world that wear green kits?

1. None, I imagine, although I often managed to wear a Celtic jersey on days Celtic weren't playing in Dublin.

2. No time at all, names produced off the top of my head. I'm bright like that.

Anyways, lad was a reptile regardless of apparel.

Not being funny or anything, but what were you planning to do if you actually caught up with the taxi?

Punch the head off him I'd imagine

Something similar happened to my brother a few years back but instead of driving off the taxi man pulled over. My brother strolled up to the taxi and opened the door to see his next door neighbour was the driver Asked the weasel in the back if he wished to step out and apologize to his Mrs (not even a big girl tbh). Suffice to say there were 3 lads red faced and sweating profusely as they said sorry many times over.

That has the potential to not end well. Court case and neck brace wearing bell-end.

I asked my pup the same question when we were out for a walk there.

It funny when a car slows down and some idiot who thinks he's a mad lad shouts something, but all you hear is: "Here buddy, ahhhhs deerrrrrrs berrrrrs creeeaaaaaaa yeah! Haaaahahah"

Err, right on Was it really worth rolling down your window for that?

tried a number of times and I still don't know what that's supposed to be

Its a fashion at the moment I have had it with someone shouting at me about a certain piece of head gear I was wearing I have to say it didn't bother me they are usually a bit thick I think, although maybe someone shouting about weight would be more upsetting.

Buona Fortuna

Hi OP, sorry your holiday had the dampers poured on it.

This guy sounds a right pr1ck. I just can't understand why he did it. I understand that sometimes people make jokes that just go that bit too far (do it all the time) but this? It was never going to be in anyway funny.

Hope your gf is over it

Wouldn't it be great if he had caught up with him and had enough time to get near him but do nothing just give the eejit a fright

So a panel of players impose a monk-like discipline on themselves for months on end to reach the semi and lose by 2 measly points against an amazingly high-achieving opponent in the driving rain. 20,000 people go home to the midwest with dreams shattered. Because a moron shouts abuse at somebody he doesn't know from a taxi.

Tell us more about how this 'karma' works?

Specifically tell us what the OP's girlfriend did to deserve her 'karma'?

We need to put this dumb word in the bin. ASAP.

How many times ? Approximately will do.

Don't worry about idiots in taxis OP. He was probably jealous. Probably can't get a woman to look sideways at him. Nevermind a relationship.

I was in a supermarket with a friend of mine one lunch time and this group of teenage girls (17-19) started barking at her and calling her a dog and throwing stuff.

She verbally tore strips off them for about 10 minutes to the point that one of them started crying. Then went to the centre manager and told them that she and all of her mates would be shopping elsewhere if this ever happened again ... Girls got barred from the entire centre.

I've had guys pick fights with me because I'm 6'4" and in good shape too. It's bloody annoying and usually only happens either in central Dublin at night or in particularly dodgy Midlands towns (.
Some total idiots out there unfortunately.
