You know feminists have no sense of humour, luckily you weren't arrested for a hate crime

Post reported.

Wildly Boaring

Was about 12.

Big crash near home. One man thrown head first out the front window.

Wearing the USA 94 Jersey so mobiles not invented yet.

Nearest house had 2 fairly intimidating alsatians that I was petrified of back them.

My little 12 year old self ran past them to the front door for neighbour to ring ambulance.

You never get the same rush the second time.

Maybe pretend you've a broken arm in a sling and fill a trolley with stuff, and pack it real slow...

Castrated a bull yesterday.

Pretty ballsy.

Held the hand of a dead road crash victim. It was a fairly brutal scene and I wanted to run away but he was just a young lad and I kept thinking of his mum and how she wouldn't have wanted her boy to be alone at a time like that.

Always Tired

I find that whether a decision is ballsy or stupid relies heavily on the result. Most of the ones I've thought were the former turned out to be the latter.

I never thought I could shoot down a German plane, but last year...

With my right foot hanging off and broken in 4 places I took my crashed motorbike back off a scumbag who wanted to "mind" it for me.

Stopped my car to go after some traveller kids who had just threw a stone through the windscreen as I passed their halting site. Got half way down the lane towards the site when I came to my senses. Guards later told me if I followed them into the halting site or if some of their parents had been around the road I'd probably have been facing weeks in hospital.

Tell me how

Was walking home after a night out years ago Was about half two in the morning. Met a girl walking on her own and about 30 seconds after noticed a guy across the road hiding behind a van and watching her as she walked along. He had his hood up and kind of around his face. I turned and watched him and saw him crossing the road in a hurry, and now walk along about 50M behind the girl.
I turned and started following him trying to catch up but he started to jog and snuck up on her. She heard him when he was a couple of feet away and turned, starting to scream. He caught her by the elbows and spun her around. She burst out laughing. It was a friend of hers and he was walking home in the same direction.
Just as she recognized him, they heard me running towards them (was about 20 yards away). As they stared at me I copped my intervention would not be needed and turned sheepishly and resumed walking home.

Running those 40 yards or so in the state I was in was not good for me and about a minute later I ended up getting sick in to somebodies hedge. I was thinking as I did this that if they caught me, I'd be better off not trying to explain how I was actually a superhero. If he had something sinister in mind, the only thing I'd have been good for would have been screaming my head off.

Maybe you might have been surprised.
The parents could have chastised their children,made their children apologise and repaid you for the damaged windscreen.
Travelers are people too

Drank 2 cups of coffee after 9pm one night. Might not have slept a wink, but I chanced it. That's just how I roll.

I did this in Sandyford years ago..... The kids shot out the side windows in the bus I was driving, I drove into where they were and guys came out to say it wasn't their kids and then changed their tune when I point to the CCTV all over it.... They apologized and didn't want the cops of course....

My bro chased a traveller into a halting site for ALLEGEDLY committing a crime...where a different lad to who he was chasing came out from a caravan and hit him in the head with an iron bar.

Junkyard Tom

Climbed up to the roof of a creepy old tumble-down tower one night and lit some matches to prove I did it to my friends who stayed on the main road a few hundred meters back, I was abut 11/12 years old. Scary.

Well I can only go on personal experience never had one bad incident with a traveler

Red Lightning

When I was 15, our 2 year old Collie got out of our garden and ran into the neighbors alsation who was about 5. They did not get on. They immediately made for each other. When I saw this I immediately jumped in between them and started to try and pull them apart. Luckily, I was able to dissapte the fight and our buck jolted back to our garden. No serious injuries on either end but we made sure our fella didn't get out of our garden again. I'd say most would have done the same but I remember thinking I cud have gotten a bad aul bite afterwards. The alsation was a big ass dog.

Signore Fancy Pants

Had both the incoming and outgoing girlfriends in the house at the same time.

Aul lad didnt know what the fup was going on.

Knex*

Not sure if this counts, but making 6 or 7 phone calls in a row to let the lads know that one of our mates committed suicide. Was about 18 at the time.

More so tough going than ballsy, I suppose. Was rough enough for me to remember it just now anyway. I didn't want any of them having to do it.

Boom_Bap

I went out today without a rain jacket.

AllForIt

I told a straight guy in late night dive bar that I though he was hot.


Lapped it up the Kunt.

.......

It was when I was in first or second year in secondary school.

Anyway I saw a bigger kid bullying a kid in my year so I marched over and shouted out good and loud "STOP THAT NOW OR IM GOING TO REPORT YOU TO THE PRINCIPAL". He did stop too.

I stood up to a bloke in a garage recently - he may have been a traveller - he was insisting I move my car to let him out, even though I was still getting petrol at the time and there was nothing behind him so all he had to do was reverse out. I wasnt going to interrupt what i was doing so I said no and then he started threatening to ram my car. I just turned my back on him and reckoned if he rammed the car or did anything to me it would all be on CCTV. After a bit of pretend ramming he reversed out and called me some nasty names out the window then drove off. I was glad I didnt move.

Completely innocent thread didn't even make it into double figures before the feminist-bashing started. We've officially reached peak After Hours.

They should rename this thread "The most ballsy thing you ever did that involved Travellers".

rosmoke

Moved to Citywest/Tallaght area a few years ago.
After a few years of: shootings, cars burning 20m from my place, regular break ins I got myself a caravan to blend in.

evil_seed

A few years ago there was a young fella knocking the head off a young wan on the Luas. The guy had a few mates with him and they all laughed and made dumb noises at her. They got off the same stop as me so I grabbed the lad by the collar and pushed him into the wall and said stop hitting girls, if you want to hit someone hit me. He did nothing (thankfully). In the state of my blood boiling I'd forgotten about the other lads, but they also did nothing. When they were over the other side of the tracks they started shouting abuse at me. So I turned around moved towards them. They legged it. I hate bullies!

Very stupid looking back even minutes after i thought how stupid i had been but as a teen I ran in front of a train to drag a red setter off the rail tracks. The dog had run off on its owner and was standing barking at the oncoming train in the middle of a road crossing.

Putting myself forward to speak for my siblings when we were asked to consider turning off the life support for my mother. She recovered as it happened but i knew my brothers and sisters wouldn't have been able to deal with the guilt being the one who actually spoke to the doctor about it when I looked around the room in that moment.
