    What the fúck did you get off the bus for? :confused:

    WTF!? Some smelly boys sat beside you on the bus and you want to beat the youngest one up for taking off his shoe and jumping around!? This is what kids (especially boys) do - regardless of their skum-ness.

    The best thing you could have done was get off the bus - using the word 'tentacle' and young boys in the same sentence of your statement would have landed you in a bit of a pickle with the cops when they arrived on the scene after the battle :pac:

    I was travelling by bus into the city centre.

    It's got to be asked OP. Which city are you in?

    something very similar happened to me a few weeks ago

    similar scummers got on the bus and they were discussing which team they supported ie man utd or liverpool

    the youngest turns round to me and asks "who do you support??"

    "your family" was my reply!!

    cos he was intimidated by children but is trying to make them out to be the knife carrying scum variety so he won't feel like such a pussy.

    Or maybe OP is a posh man with an superiority complex.

    Or , OP , did a few lines , before posting.
    Then , started a thread that was really all about getting busted , concentration wandered , so he ends up making a total hash of it.
    Something along those lines anyway.

    I would of thuaght

    scumbags taking of there shoes on public transport, was exceptable.....

    Translation: Snow Monkey would have thought that scumbags taking off thier shoes on Public Transport was acceptable.

    No, it's not. They smell (shoes, not scumbags - although without generalising, most scumbags I've been near always smelled very bad).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,756 ✭✭✭InkSlinger67


    OP, are you Ryan Tubridy?

    Now there's a man I always thought would be intimidated by a bit of foot odour!

    What the hell Karoma? You have..... hu.......... humour!

    OP I cant believe you would actually want to cause someone harm because a 12 year old was pissing you off on the bus. Your post just makes you look like the kind of crank who writes letters into newspapers every day in green ink finding something (minor) to be outraged over. Chill the hell out and stop being so wimpy and intolerant.

    Something similar happened to me.
    Myself and my brothers were playing a game of football in the park. On the way to the bus, my youngest brother complained of a pain in his foot, but of course we could not stop then as we would miss our bus and mother would have given us a right ear-bashing. I told my brother he must wait until we got on the bus and then I would have a look at his foot. As if my little brother's pain was not unfortunate enough, he then accidentally slipped in some doggy doo and landed right on the seat of his pants into the steaming pile. The smell was vile to say the least.
    We got on the bus and went upstairs - right up to the front, as our mother had told us this was the safest place to sit. There was an odd looking man there, but I didn't think much of it at the time. My brother took off his shoe to take a look at his painful foot, while the odd man looked on with a suspicious look on his face, which made me feel quite uneasy. My brother realised that he had trodden on a small nail and as most six year olds would in this situation, he became hysterical and began jumping up and down. At that point the odd man stood up and left the bus. Although worried about the pain my brother was in, I was glad that the strange man had left. To cut a long story short, my brother was given a tetnis shot and the wound was cleaned by our local doctor, later that day and once we got rid of his doggy doo stained clothing, he no longer smelled.

    Did I do the right thing in that situation?

    So I was driving my bus today, pretty **** if you ask me, it's cold as hell and as a Dublin bus driver I was selected for my misery. First of all this freaking weirdo gets on the bus, all bright eyed and bushy tailed. You could see that he was wearing some twattish costume under his shirt, probably fancied himself as some sort of superhero, so yeah absolute weirdo. Luckily he heads up to the top deck, I looked through the viewer thing and he'd sat at the front. Imagine that, this freak actually thought there was something worth looking at on the Dublin skyline. Not only that but he starts underlining some of the graffiti seemingly randomly. Then these little scobes get on and head on up and sit right next to him. I have to laugh because the little scummers stank. So the little one takes off his shoe and starts jumping about, I can hear him stomping around up there and I would've usually gone up and kicked him off the bus but the look on yer man's face. Absolute disgust! I was breakin me hole and then I noticed that he rang the bell and got off the bus clenching his fists, and with a big fat vein pulsating on the side of his head. Probably wasn't even his stop! Kept me mouth shut anyway. I'm too old for battle.

    How would YOU deal with this situation, and was I correct in my actions?

    I think you should have intentionally intimidated the strange man - maybe waved your bother in his face until he prepared for battle

    (I have pictures of Lt. Wharf sitting on the 51B to Clondalkin being intimidated by kids with turd on their shoes...."I do NOT understand Captain!!!!!")

    Great post CaptainNegative!:D

    Your sig is promoting the Angry Bastards Forum.

    How ironic.

    Double kudos! :D

    Kudos.
    Bear with me here , cause I'm walking a very thin line.

    They weren't scumbags, they were just smell bags if anything. Why did you underline words?

    For dramatic effect?

    BTW I just reread his post and it was actually a 6 year old that was intimidating him and NOT a 12 year as I originally thought. Shame on the OP!

    Hold on a minute?
    I think The_Citizen and Kold were on the same bus I was!!!
    I'm not a scummer!!!
    Ah screw it, who am I kidding? So my Dad was a Scummer. I've got Scummer blood in me. I'm half scummer. I can't hide it any more. I tried. We've all tried.
    Ok so I lied. My brother never stood on a nail and he never slid in sh*t. The 3 of us are smelly little scummers - we can't help it. We don't have a shower. We don't even have a house. We live in a Nissan Micra with our Da. My Ma left. Said she couldn't put up with the smell anymore. All we want is a bit of a respect. Why do we have to be judged by weirdos on buses, who touch themselves at night when they think back on bus journeys that day.
    Is it too much to ask for a bit of love? Scummers are people too. Maybe we smell different, speak different, act different and look like we've been skip-diving all day, but deep down we're good people. I can't put up with it anymore. I need to change.

    Please help me,
