    Only once for me.
    Was touring a palace in Bangkok.
    Turned a corner and a Thai man flashed me.
    Dreadful.

    Holy crap.
    Just googled the palace.
    It's called "Phra Borom Maha Ratcha Wang"
    Maybe he worked there.

    Yup. Speed camera up ahead. Was quite thankful


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,803 ✭✭✭pappyodaniel


    I wish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,378 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Not as often as I'd like, and definitely would prefer if more women were to do it. The power ye have...


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭iamstop


    Yeah, once in France and once in Barcelona.

    I think the one in Barcelona was a 'lady of the night' flaunting here 'wares'.

    The one in France was at a festival. I had my camera out and two girls behind me called for me to take their photo. I obliged. Sometime between the focus light and the flash going off they pulled there tops up to reveal their chesticles. That was fun.

    Not flashed but I wish they’d stop the carry on in the dunes in Dollymount, do whatever you like but please do it away from the walking trail.

    Twice a few years ago in Cork by a guy “at full tilt.” This just happened when I was walking down a street. I’m guy btw and gave the gardai a call about him, as it was just really, really weird behaviour. He seemed a bit off his face on something tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,612 ✭✭✭bassy


    ye got a flash today from a uncoming vehicle to warn me about speedvan ahead.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 548 ✭✭✭JasonStatham


    I'd go blind.

    Yeah once when I was about 12 in the toilets in the Crescent shopping centre in Limerick. Aul fella, I just ran out the door as fast as I could, thought nothing of it at the time.

    Loads of times when I worked security in pubs and clubs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,363 ✭✭✭saabsaab


    Once by two women in Spain.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,546 ✭✭✭An Ri rua


    Once when I was driving a truck near Kildare town on the old Cork rd before the motorway was built. Lost control of the truck and went out through a bridge and down onto the railway tracks into the path of an oncoming train.
    The 2 ones that were flashing me then ran down the embankment to flag down the train. He sped up for a closer look before he slowed down.
    Or wait, I read the background story after I was stuck in traffic jams commuting to Dublin for the next 6 months all because some lad couldn't keep her between the ditches when he saw God's comfort representatives on Earth.
    True story. Mostly

    I was around 19/20. Waiting for a bus in Dublin, a guy walking through the supermarket carpark behind the bus stop, flashed me as I was idly watching him walk by. I burst out laughing. I couldn't stop, thought it was hilarious. Had to attempt to explain to the other people in the bus shelter, that I hadn't just got mad. They didn't see the funny side.

    Loads of times. Once walking down the street in broad daylight.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭Lynn Door


    Once on a school tour. Bus was stopped in a bus station. We were all laughing/dancing/messing on the bus. Screaming started as a stereotypical man in a trenchcoat flashed. Guards asked if his penis was erect. We didnt even know what a penis was!?

    I shouldn't have laughed, sorry.

    You obviously thought about it when you signed up to Boards.

    It wasn't an enjoyable thing to happen. It's basically intimidating a woman on her own walking down the street.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,363 ✭✭✭saabsaab

    Yes, in a kind of tarty way.

    My mother encountered a flasher when she was a teenager. She was walking along a country road with her best friend when a car pulled up alongside them. The driver rolled down his window and asked for directions. His trousers were around his ankles and he was... ahem... "at himself" (**** his cock, I suspect). They were both very innocent and had never seen a naked man before. My mother was upset - not scarred-for-life or anything, just a bit frightened and disturbed. Threatened, even. Her friend, on the other hand, couldn't stop laughing and went around telling everyone what they had seen. For weeks afterwards, she'd burst out laughing every time she thought about it.

    It's amazing how two people, same age, similar background, could witness the exact same thing and have such wildly different reactions.

    if anyone has any good 'high flashing' areas please let me know.. Asking for a friend

    I find the best area to flash is my crotch!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,926 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    One who resides in Bray Head, was off the radar for a number of years. Came back spectacularly this year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,055 ✭✭✭JohnnyFlash


    Thought this would have pretty much died out along with saddle sniffing and stealing knickers off a clothesline. Presumed most perverts had moved online at this stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,854 ✭✭✭✭greenspurs


    At a Pink gig in Malahide (i think?)

    Went to loo, and it was a weird circular urinal, which meant everyone was standing around in a circle, across from each other while peeing.
    A guy was stroking his erect mutton dagger across from me...

    yeah, years ago I go off the bus with my oldest who was about 4 a man very young, was standing in a gap in a wall that surrounds a wood near when I use to live all he has on was a denim jacket and shoes he was naked other than that got the fright of my life. He was obviously waiting for passers-by.

    What do they get out of it?

    Causes
    Risk factors for the development of exhibitionistic disorder in males include antisocial personality disorder, alcohol abuse, and an interest in pedophilia. Other factors that may be associated with exhibitionism include sexual and emotional abuse during childhood and sexual preoccupation in childhood.

    https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/conditions/exhibitionism

    The article also says it can be treated.

    I heard a story about two old ladies in my home town who were flashed recently.

    One of them had a stroke but the other one was too slow.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,451 ✭✭✭Did you smash it

    He was at a urinal so he had plausible deniability

    It was hard, and he was stroking it !

    To quote from Brass Eye he "unsheathes a length of skin-clad tube...and he staggers around until finally he releases several arcs of liquid silk from the fleshy nozzle of his fork."

    Never been flashed but I heard about a guy going around with a long coat and trouser legs taped around his legs from the thigh down, so it wouldn't look like he was trouserless until he was ready for action.

    Still cracks me up :D

    Friend of mine from college likes to open his door wearing only a towel. The trouble is the towel is usually wrapped around his head...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,812 ✭✭✭✭sbsquarepants


    Myself and the missus were flashed by 2 young ones about 20 years ago, just walked up to the car and pulled up their tops for some reason. They were a bit young for my liking, i'd say maybe 15 or 16 that kind of age.


    I'f you're reading this you'd be about 35 or so now, much less creepy, so bring them back and i'll have a proper look:D


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 12,857 Mod ✭✭✭✭iamstop

    I'd have to dig out the old hard drives to find it. Maybe one day.

    I'm sorry for laughing, just the whole story, and "mutton dagger", I have never heard that term before.

    Lots of times by hen parties when I worked as a night porter in my early 20s. Tits mainly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    Sadly I think I've only ever been flashed by hookers. The first time was in Prague by some Romanians trying to lure us down an alleyway. :eek:

    I don't think the lady who was riding a bike wearing a short skirt with no knickers in Amsterdam while I had the worst hangover of my life counts, because she seemed quite annoyed that I looked. It wasn't so much that I looked as she entered my field of vision as I desperately tried to hold myself together....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,235 ✭✭✭✭Cee-Jay-Cee


    Years ago when I worked in a pub a girl told me she'd flash her boobs if I gave her a free drink. I told her ok, so she pulled up her top and showed off her boobs and I told her I was only joking that I couldn't give away free drinks.









    We've been happily married for 12 years now.












    I made up the last part, I never seen her again after that...unfortunately.

    I was expecting you to say that you gave her a glass of tap water :D

    I always wonder the same, I've never been flashed but when blokes do it are they usually sporting a horn or what ?

    Or is it some shriveled floppy sad willy ?

    I can remember, what I always wondered about was the denim jacket and shoes noting else on, like why take his t-shirt and socks off as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,903 ✭✭✭ablelocks


    never been flashed, but was an accidental flasher once....came out of the shower, went to my room naked - and my sister in law was in our room, not sure why. I ran, so she got full monty front and back.

    What did she expect people to do, wearing a mini, no knickers on a bike? Surely the point is to be looked at?

    The bloke across the road flashes himself in his red briefs so keep my curtains permanently closed now and his Mrs flashed my OH once.

    I worked in a hospital in the North of England in the 90s and the female staff were plagued by flashers at the bus stop. It was very close to the red light district. One night after a particularly busy shift I was sitting at the stop with my colleague when a bloke idles up and takes out his angry looking lad.'What do you think to that, then girls?' My colleague, an older woman and typical no nonsense Yorkshire lass responded 'I think it looks like a penis, only much, much smaller' Yer man scurried off, deflated (in more ways than one)
