I was out at a work do on Friday. Free bar all night,/....... Anyone else heard of this happening recently?

Its the rat arsed young ones that are half the problem, told this before. Was going into town, St. Stephen Green one night about 3-3.30 to pick up girlfriend, anyway was coming up the Quays and next thing at the traffic light some young one tries to hop into passenger door, told her I wasnt a taxi and to get out so she bangs the **** out of the door, so I lock the car, at every traffic light you had one or 2 young ones hammered drunk trying to get into the car, banging on windows etc.

So finally got to St Stephen Green and had to park for a few mins waiting for GF, next thing these 2 come over trying to get into car, start banging the **** out of window till I put down a bit, wanted a lift so I told them to go away

Then this gorgeous blonde came up to window, again hammered and starts knocking on window, so rolled it down before window was smashed and wanted lift out southside.......there isnt any perv's only pissed Irish women with no cop on!

On my debs/grads night we couldn't get a taxi from the hotel we were at to Cork City so one of my friends and another guy and I had to walk 6 miles. My friend was really drunk and just wandered ahead but my shoes were killing me so I had to walk barefoot. That guy gave me his jacket and walked with me for a while but before I knew it he was gone too :eek:

After a while of walking tring to dodge glass on the floor a car pulled up next to me and a man that looked about 40 asked me if I needed a lift. I got kinda scared when he wouldn't go away so I shouted ''Oh great thanks'' ''I'll JUST TELL MARK AND JEN UP AHEAD'' ''WE'VE GOT A LIFFFFFTT'' He just sped off after that

The scary thing is the were too far up ahead to hear me shouting.

Lots of times in the past stuff like that happened me.

This used to happen a lot in my home town (Bristol) but I haven't seen it as much in Dublin, then again I don't go anywhere on my own if I'm completely hammered, however, a friend of mine had a lucky escape a few years ago.

I was on my way to a friends party in Rathmines when I saw two cops talking to a really wasted looking girl who was sitting on the pavement. As I passed them I realised I knew the girl and asked them what was going on (she was pretty much incoherent at this stage). Turned out she'd left the same party early in the evening as she was so drunk - didn't tell anyone she was leaving, just sloped off on her own. A car had stopped for her when she got on to road and she'd got in thinking it was a taxi.

Earlier on that evening a girl had called Rathmines Garda Station reporting a guy who had persistently tried to offer her 'a lift' as she walked home. The cops said the car my friend was in fitted the description and had been reported again when the driver was seen dragging a girl (my friend) out of the back dumping her at the side of Rathmines Road. She had a vague memory the next day of getting sick in the back of the car and the guy getting really angry and pulling her out.

It's not that hard to tell the difference between a normal car and a taxi no matter how drunk you are.

People should take this in - Don't pick up strangers.

No, you're being paranoid.

Obviously I don't think there are no sexual predators out there. But I'd say in most cases, it's a bloke who suddenly gets pervy thoughts...

Anyway, no need to get angry about it :rolleyes:

Ok what is ther difference between a pervert and someone who has pervy thoughts and wishes to act on them?? Maybe I am stupid but I really don't see the difference???

I have a male friend who was accosted by two teenagers and sexually assaulted after he had wandered off on his own. So its not just girls who need to be careful, alot of men seem to forget this too.

FillSpectre · 03-07-2006 04:10PM

I don't get how this has anything really to do with "perves on the prowl" . No story of any perves prowling just girl/woman acting stupidly.
I have help complete strangers home many times because they were drunk including paying for a taxi home for them.
I have met some afterwards some remembered and some didn't know how they got home. My instict is always to help

One is a man who drives around with the sole intention of picking up drunk girls... another is a man who picks up a drunk girl and then gets pervy thoughts... Kind of like the difference between murder and manslaughter...

It was just an offhand comment so don't read into it too much!

This has happened to me regularly when I'm in town collecting someone after a nightclub/pub/etc. People just see a car stopping, are too pissed to cop that its not a taxi and just jump in..

One girl came up to the car one night when I was collecting my sister after a nightclub and tried to open the front passenger door, I leaned over and gestured that I wasnt a taxi, then she tried the back door on the passenger side, when that wouldnt open she started getting very aggresive and started kicking the car.

I was about to get out and f**k her out of it when 2 gardai strolled over and I got out and informed then I had no idea who she was and explained that I think she thought I was a taxi. One tried to explain this to her and when it eventually sank in, after about 5 mins, she looked rather embarrassed and sheepish. :rolleyes:

I reckon she was 20 at most.

Very easy pickings for some guy on the prowl for an easy target..

chelle2ie · 03-07-2006 04:22PM

Any taxi driver will tell you that drunk people will hop in just about any car to get home and are dangerous in that way, i.e. lying in front of cars, hammering on windows.

It's a horrible fact that you just can't trust very many people anymore. I wouldn't put a stranger in that position of having to give me a lift home.

If that girl was a recent addition to the company she should have known that she didn't have really good friends there to rely on and that she couldn't be guaranteed that someone would be there to look after her. I know when I have to be careful, i.e. when I might have to get a taxi alone and when I can let loose a little more. Hopefully that girl got enough of a fright that she has learned that lesson too.

Yes IF they were doing it here! There is no evidence of it, not even a story of it happening her in the Republic of Ireland. This is fearmongering.

Reminds me of a song...

She was a fearmonger
But sure 'twas no wonder
For so were her father and mother before
And they each wheel'd their barrow
Through streets broad and narrow
Crying cockles and mussels alive, alive o!

Tobias Greeshman · 03-07-2006 04:44PM

Well there's never been a news story on it in the Republic. I'm sure it's not happening on the same scale that it's happened in London in the past, but that's not to say that it's not happening.

It's hardly just fear-mongering now. It is a valid concern, that the amount of young drunk girls are vulnerable to perverts, and thinking that this is not happening is a very naive attitude really.

It might be, but still people should be careful and if they intend on getting hammered, for goodness sake make sure you have someone to look after you that can be trusted. The world is full of nasty people and everyone needs to be careful.

Also just because there is no evidence doesn't mean that incidents don't happen. Don't a lot of rapes go unreported?!?

connundrum · 03-07-2006 04:49PM

I remember being in a car driving through Tullamore on a Sat night and at a traffic light a girl jumped in the back seat, locked out of it. She demended we drive her home, firstly in a jokey fashion, but then got deadly serious and she threatened to cry rape/abduction.

We prob woulda brought her home if she was stuck anyway, we'd just finished work like. But I've never been confronted with something as harsh as that. So now I wouldn't stop unless I saw a woman being attacked or something.

:mad:

Yes, and global warming is just one big myth.:(

Just because it's not happening outside your front door doesn't mean it's not happening. Take a trip into Dublin some night at the weekend and see how much "fearmongering" is going on. As people have said here, and I will agree with them, there's too many people out there completely intoxicated. And by the same token, there are a few people willing to exploit those drunks.

Nowadays, people won't even help a person who fell on the street up again, lest they get blame for knocking them down. I've seen hundreds of people pass by an old man on the corner of O'connell bridge on their way to work without anyone attempting to help him back on his feet.

Did you just watch the hundreds of people pass him by?

Anyway ... **** it, it might be harsh, but sometimes people have only themselves to blame.

Don't want to fall victim of a sexual predator or a pervert? Then have a bit of cop on and don't go jumping into strangers cars.

That's why you pay for people's taxi home then is it, because you are not worried someone might attack them??

I think he was speechless.

Kind of the way I am every time I haphazardly get linkied onto Bebo and feel like I need a translator.

Well I saw a bloke trying to escort a girl who was out of it out of a nightclub on Friday night.

Luckily I knew one of her mates so I knew this bloke was up to no good.

She was ****ed but she didnt deserve to be in any danger. I asked him what he was up to and he said it ok that he was going to bring her home and gave me the biggest of smiles.

I nearly knocked his block off, I told him to **** off, got him kicked out by the bouncers and me and my girlfriend looked after the girl till we found her mates.

Scary ****,

Emmo

It is only a valid concern if it is happening or there is even a sniff of it happening. Not one person has even given an anicdotal evidence of something like that happening here.

The assumptions being made are

1) Perverts are waiting
2) It is happening and nobody reports it
3) Becasue it happened another place it will happen here.

To assume it is happening based on no facts and the fact it happened in another place based on illegal cabs has little bearing. According to you it is nieve to think something isn't happening in the absense of facts but not nieve to assume something is happening becasue your here it happened elsewhere?:rolleyes:

The actual stories are based on illegal cabs. Take care of yourself should go without saying.

Autopilot · 04-07-2006 12:43PM

Wtf Doleman

Seriously

you and yours may actually be why this country has such a bad response and attitude to sexual abuse.

The fact that it was an OFFHAND yar yar comment is the worst part

It is those evil evil drunk girls (hOw DARE thy!!1!) that drive poor innocent men to evil perverted thoughts and actions. :rolleyes: please. A perv is a perv.

Do you seriously hold your gender in such low esteem

Does anyony know if there is any stories/links/articles to verify that indeed there is "Pervs on the Prowl for Plastered Girls"?
Or is Fluffy just fearmongering?

Believe it or not I actually have more to do with my time than post something that's unfounded. This is the second instance of this that I've heard of recently. Or no! Hold on! Maybe I've imagined it all.....:rolleyes:

Second? Are you talking about the OP, where your friend was taken home and nothing happened? Or instances in Belfast, which myself and sinecurea never heard of?

Don't get me wrong, there has been incidents where cab drivers (legal or illegal) have attacked drunk women (just as people have been raped/attacked walking home) but that is a far cry from saying "Pervs on the Prowl for Plastered Girls", indicating there are men driving around our cities looking to prey on innocent, albeit inebriated, girls walking home.

chump · 04-07-2006 02:05PM

It could well have been a technique by this 'gent' to get inside your friends knickers. Bring enough girls home, go on about how you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart, warn of the bad boys out there, and I'm sure some of the girls will think you're wonderful - perhaps invite you in and who knows!
