I prefer getting my passport to be short, not "oh so what did you get up to this morning? Did you ahve a nice breakfast? I had a nice breakfast. The weathers fantastic" etc etc

its a public office.

the public should be delt with in a quick, courteous, efficient and respectful manner.

hence the reason as to why people dislike gardai is due to the fact that the above does not happen.

i dont enter a garda station looking to make friends, however, i do not want to leave feeling as if i pulled the trigger on veronica guerin (R.I.P)

it has been commented upon by several people, and i am in this group also, that entering a garda station to get a passport form signed or something can be a most harrowing experience. greetings dont exist, answers and short and brash, questions are penetrating and blunt and the whole ordeal leaves ordinary joe bloggs feeling as if he has commited a crime.

Sitting at the counter in a Garda station is their equivelant to working a checkout I'd imagine. I encounter quite a lot of grumpy checkout operators. The times I've been in to get forms signed etc in a station would definately be the less friendly times, but more dutifull ,as below , than bad mannered.

As for any other encounters I've had have been by and large quite friendly and civil. The rest have been by the book and straightforward. I was breathalised a couple of weeks back and was in the passenger seat while my mate was the other day. Both times the gards in question were friendly and talkative.

Going in with a good attitude starts things off well i find.

i can relate!

but theres a difference between someone on minimum wage working for a huge corporation and a member of a police forces, sworn to protect society and whos job makes him/her a cornerstone of the community.

if they cannot/will not be polite, then why should anyone else?(and im not pinning societies lack of manners on mr. garda!)

About 8 years ago I gave a Garda cadet the finger.

But she insisted that I finish her off with the tongue.
At the end she was screaming Templemore, more, more.

Years ago one of me mates called into me, he lived miles away so he called in in his car, We where just sitting in the car up near me house. Meself himself and the lack at the time just smoking a few fags and chatting away, the usual ****e for a 17 year old with a new car. Anyways cop comes along and decides to tell us that we where rallying around the estate I live in and he seen us. I thought it was funny cos we actually didnt go anywhere in the car haha. Me man was a powermad fooker. Checked everything on the car and seemed to get more pissed off when he couldnt find anything wrong with. I just started chatting to me lack while me mate was getting a roasting. Robocop didnt like this so started getting onto me. I knew I done nothing wrong so I answered him back. He asked me to get out of the car. How old are ya blaa blaa, told him I was 18. He said he could arrest me and have me up in court and that I'm old enough to be properly charged or whatever cos I was legally an adult. I told him I knew that but since I done nothing wrong he cant arrest me. He told me to get back in the car. Got back in anyways and was just sitting there laughing to me mates about what a nob this cop was. He came back then asking me why I hoppe doutta the car and started shouting abuse at him. I found this hysterical cos I actually didnt get out of the car or abuse him at all. Eventually I got pissed off and just told him to go **** himself. Long story short anyways, me father was a cop at the time so instead of arresting me he knew he was acting the bollox himself so he rang me father up and told me father that I threathened him and told him to go fork himself and just basically amde up a load of ****e. I told the father I did tell him to go fook himself. Just treated him as a normal human, thats the way theu wanna be treated.
Thats the only cop I ever had any trouble with and the only one that I dont like. I got pulled once or twice, loud exhaust on bike and that, and all the cops seemed dead sound.
