Weird Knock On The Door This Evening

az2wp0sye65487

2 young lads knocked on the door earlier. They looked around 10 - 12 yrs of age. Didn't recognise them from the area..... anyway when I answered one said "do you have any tea bags?"

I'm looking at him a bit confused and he goes "do you have any tea bags for Karl Barrett?"

(Who the fcuk is Karl Barrett??? - I don't know anyone with this name).

Anyway after I got rid of them and shut the door they went and knocked in next door.... they also went to the next house, working their way along the road.

Anyone reckon they're knocking on doors to see if there's any empty houses?

I'd shut the door,
Karl Barrett would peel an orange in his pocket the stinge.

But you haven't got any tea bags! (apparently)

Tell them Karl Barrett is a cnut.

Be careful they don't mark the wall with chalk, then your definitely gettin burgaled

Canis Lupus

Google says he's an oil and heating engineer. Not sure why he needs tea bags though.

Also did you check for any chalk marks outside your house after they left?

Tbh I would tell the local garda station. That sounds like people sizing up houses to see who's in. Instincts are usually correct about whether something is off.

Karl Barrett is a great lad, but developed a crippling addiction to tea leaves in his late 20's. He now spends his whole day in a tiny dark bedroom sipping earl grays or snorting lines of barrys, crying out for teabags to anyone who will listen. These young scrotes are able to decipher the cries of tea pain and go about collecting bags to help Karl out of his agony.

Poor Karl Barrets reading this thinking jaysus I only asked the gassons tor go over see if the man had a few teabags as the shops shut.

I'd say they're hoping you'll go into the kitchen to get the tea bags and then they can grab something from your front room.. like a handbag.

Do you have teabags for Karl Barrett is obviously code (not even good code) for do have coke, tabs, heroin or some mad sh1t like that. I would almost go as far as saying that the young lads weren't looking for teabags. They never even asked brand name. Dead giveaway..

Yeah or car keys or whatever is there. I never leave the door open if there's a stranger after knocking. Especially in such strange circumstances.

Like if a neighbour needs something then fair enough.... but these lads weren't from my road. Just seemed odd

Mama put my teabags to the ground,
I don't need them anymore.
Teabags was a shyte code for some gear,
And Mama's basically a whore.

Karl Bennett is Gordon Bennett's son, it's old cocky slang.

He'd fit in great here.

What people still answer their doors? Knock on my door and you can fcuk off. Anybody who I want to speak to has my number.

He's the lead singer of the libertines. Although spelt differently, I could understand if they were on scrounge for Pete Doherty.

Isn't there some urban legend where a pair of children show up at the door looking to use a telephone and if you let them in some terrible misfortune will happen upon you.

I'd say you dodged a bullet there OP!

myshirt

I'm looking for Ray Finkle..... and a clean pair of shorts.

Also don't leave car keys in view of a letter box on a hall table or something; it's more common than you think for them to try and fish for them. The young lads were most likely scouting for people on the rob or elderly people that can be targeted specifically for some sort of scam.

I'd tell the shades to be honest.

It was code - when they get the right house the deal will go down. If they find the right house, they were probably bombed out

Jesus, all I wanted was a cup of tea. Some neighbour you are, I'll tell my young lads to stay away from your house from now on.

GTFO to where you came from:eek:.

Agree with many of the posts re dangers.

I am old and live alone, but have a dog who sounds as if she would eat anyone who came. New here and y'day I had a visitor re the plumbing and the dog went ballistic...

And anyone who has driven two miles up a narrow mountain road full of sheep and ponies deserves a cup of tea.
