    Which wasn't sexual in nature.

    I did something mental the other day which made me think of this thread idea. But I can't say due to the fact it was illegal, and that's just how I roll :)

    Me and two friends went to Chessington world of adventures with a load of randomers we'd met in a nightclub the night before.

    Stood in the queue for an ATM in a nightclub with this one who was behind me in said queue and we stood, judging everyone who walked past us. Wore the face off her later on that night, too.

    I was bringing the kids to school a few years ago and as I turned out of my road (a mile outside a small rural village), I spotted a woman running towards me waving her arms, so I stopped up and asked was she ok. Well her car had broken down and she wanted a lift to the main road as she was having to hitch to work, which she explained was in another small village about 15 miles away and she had just moved to the area and didn't know anyone to call. So, no problem. Left her at the cross as she was going the opposite direction and brought the kids to school.

    On the way back, I thought jaysus, bet she hasn't got a lift yet so I drove on past my turn and there she was walking determinedly up the hill. Stopped and said hop in, I'll take you to work whereupon she virtually kissed me and explained it was actually her first week in a new job (a school) and she was meant to be going on the school trip that day - phone calls along the way confirmed she was being waited for, so I flew it up the hills and got her there only 10 mins late :cool:

    All the way there we were chatting, and honestly couldn't see eye to eye on anything - really didn't relate well to each other in our life choices/interests/everything! But ever since then we've been best of mates and it was a very cool way to meet a new neighbour! We'd have probably never talked otherwise.

    During the heavy snow a few years back heading to work on the dart, i seen a blind man on the platform at lansdowne. I asked if he wanted some help, so he linked my arm and off we went. We walked and talked for about 15mins everyday for about 2 weeks. He was gas crack! His phone read his text messages out loud. lol

    Out shoppin' today & saw a fellah accidently knock over a display.

    I went over to give him a hand to pick up the pieces & when everything was fixed, I said to him in a delebratly loud voice;

    'Well, we cant take you anywhere, can we?'

    Couldn't resist.:D

    Arrived in downtown San Francisco on my own one Sunday when I was in Silicon Valley for a meeting. The girl who was stood beside me at the city map in the station happened to be Irish and had also just arrived. Spent the next 4 hours walking around the city, getting lunch, chatting. We went our separate ways that evening and that was that!

    When I was about 22 and working on the roofs, one particular summer I got badly burnt on my back.
    Early the next morning I met one of the older lads outside the complex where we were working ( inside an estate ) and asked him could he rub some lotion on my back as I was in agony. He was having none if it as he was a hard f@:ker to say the least, old school.
    The next lady that passed I asked her could she rub a bit in and sure enough I got a nice back rub on the side of the road from a stranger.

    Nothing insane but I got up on stage and sang karaoke with a guy in a bar in Bristol while I was on a mini break there. He was a strange fella, wearing red cowboy boots with blue jeans and an army jacket.

    Myself and my friend ended up going across the road to a club with him and his friends. The place was empty, so it was just us and three other people. Stayed drinking till closing time. One of them bought a round of champagne and we danced like eejits for the night.

    Went our seperate ways at the end of the night and that was that!

    Was in lidl packing my bag when a girl at the till did not have enough for 3 or 4 items and she wanted to put back the pack of tea bags, I paid for them.

    My mum met a young Spanish girl at a bus stop, bawling, turns out some fella she met travelling said she could stay with him if she was ever in the area, turns out he wanted s ex! She had no where to go, so my mum took her home and she stayed for 2 weeks,

    I saw a duck in the middle of the road one day, obviously exhausted as it was lying there as cars drove over it. So I drove home and walked back to find it. When I got to where I saw it there was another man there and the two of us attempted to catch the duck at which point it ran into the garden of a house so myself and this man chased a duck around and around the front garden until we managed to catch it.

    Drank our c combined duty free booze in a hotel, about ten of us, after a Chicago to Dublin flight had to turn around and land in JFK. Got a hotel room for the night courtesy of the airline and preceded to get hammered together.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,971 ✭✭✭_Whimsical_


    I helped a girl get her jeans closed after using the bathroom at a party. Her jeans were WAY way too tight so she couldn't close them and she was pretty upset and hiding out in the bathroom. I asked how she got them on in the first place and turned out her sister had helped her pull them closed while she lay on the floor with her tummy sucked in. So with her lying on the floor I knelt down beside her and helped her heave them closed on a count of 3.
    And then we went our seperate ways as if nothing had happened! :)

    One of my favourite memories is from a night out at Christmastime a few years back when it was snowing pretty heavily. Me and some mates had been at a party and got the last Luas back into town. I was staying with them out in Terenure so we had to get off at some stop and walk the rest of the way.

    Along the way, we saw another gang of lads coming down the other side of the street, obviously on their way back from a night out. The snow had started falling just that day and it had built up and was still falling.

    Don't know why but as we passed them, one of the lads in our group suggested we throw a few snowballs at them and we all agreed. Just as we bent down to start making a few, a volley of snowballs landed at our feet... the other lads had the same idea!

    It was a great laugh. We tried it again some other time with some other randomers. Those lads weren't the same kind of craic and got pretty pissed off iirc.

    I was in the lobby of a cinema and a few people were waiting for the doors to open to go in to watch the film.

    I walked straight up to a middle aged lady waiting in the queue that I've never seen before and shouted to her loudly: "I didn't expect you to be here!".

    Met two girls in a pub 25 and a half years ago. I was about to go home but went back in and offered to drive one of them to work in Dublin (Mater Hospital) the next day. Her friend came along for the spin. Took a random notion to go to the zoo with the friend when we dropped off the nurse at the Mater. We had a great day, are married for 25 years with an 18 year old daughter.

    New neighbour had moved in, I hadn't met them yet but the walls are very thin. Heard yer wan one day singing in the shower the mans part from one of the duets from Phantom of the Opera. When it came to the woman's part I chimed in in a loud soprano- she screamed like she'd heard a ghost!

    Went for a quiet drink by myself one night and got chatting to someone who worked in a tattoo shop. Told him I always wanted to get my nipples pierced. He said he would do them for free so went I the next day and he stuck to his word, even though he was pretty drunk the night before.

    Walked around Vienna until I had to catch my plane back to the states and she had to make her way to Paris. Of course, when I was promoting my book in Paris, we ran into each other and I ended up leaving my wife and son for her.

    When I was in college, my mother dropped me to get the train after a weekend at home. Unfortunately I missed said train and since my gran was sick and my mother was heading to visit her I decided to sit and wait for the next one (an hour and a half away). There sat a young man with his clothes in a plastic bag and he too had just missed the train. So the two of us sat talking, turned out he had just been released from prison for killing his step father. I won't go into the reasons but he and his family lived a troubled old life. When the train arrived, I was a little uncomfortable sharing with him so I lost myself in the crowd. I always laugh when I think it all might have been a joke, that this man saw a naive looking girl and decided to scare the be jaysus out of her for an hour and a half and watch her run off to her safe haven!

    Something similar happened to me in London. I was over visiting friends and was wandering about central London while they were at work. I bumped into a pair of female Italian students who were a bit lost. Between their rudimentary English and my rusty Italian, we managed to (mostly) understand one another. We ended up wandering about for the day, did lunch, I took their photos for them standing in front of all the landmarks and I got us thrown out of a couple of tourist tat shops by pointing out how much they were about to be ripped off. I brought them back to their hotel that evening, we said our goodbyes, and that was that.

    Well that was the end of my involvement in the story. The other guy brought it home with him since he lived across the road. Otherwise I would have had to walk 10 minutes up the road with a hostile duck under my arm.
