3 students in the chip shop

Doom · 07-09-2010 06:51PM #1

I was in McDonaghs today to sample the legendary fish and chips, I sat down near the 3 biggest dick-heads ever, new 1st year students by the sound of them, they were Irish and I'm embrassed to be Irish after listening to them, making racist slurs at the staff behind their backs, shouting down their mobile phones, and generally been fu*king dick-heads.....to the guy with the red t shirt your'e a dickhead mate

What does them being students have to do with anything?

mikemac · 07-09-2010 07:00PM

Did you ask for a manager?
Did you tell them to shut up or even threaten to call Mill Street?

Or say to the staff you were uncomfortable and you want to leave so eject them or give me a refund?

All of these would get you satisfaction

3 racist ***** in a chippy, and the issue you find with it, is that the op described them as students (which they were)

Racist slurs? At McDonaghs staff? Jesus, people dont get any more pure Galwegian than McDonaghs staff!

Probably a bunch of yokels that were never in civilisation before without their mammies.

To some people, people from the next village down are foreigners.

Maybe they were being anti Irish?

evil_seed · 07-09-2010 07:05PM

And you were so outraged you had to come on here straight away to vent :pac:

snubbleste · 07-09-2010 07:09PM

Why did you not tell them how you felt there and then as opposed to going on some forum about it?

I'm obviously not defending what they were saying.

If it had been three accountants or three salesmen, do you think the OP would've mentioned it in the title?

Hardly convincing evidence of their occupation.

More likely second years, given that first years aren't back yet...

I think he means racism in so far that they're travellers (or sound like travellers), not foreign, otherwise I stumped!

Who gives a sh*t?

bigpink · 07-09-2010 08:59PM

Because you would expect more from students,these are suppose to be the educated people

You're just a typical irish person just sitting there and listening to it and not complaining. Except behind a keyboard when it makes no odds.

If i was in a establishment and i didn't like the carry on i would:

1. Leave the premises

2. Complain to the manager/supervisor

3. Contact the gardaí

You went for option 4.

4. Keyboard Warrior

Racist people in Ireland shocker !

Again where is the evidence that these guy's actually were students?

Moreover, why is the thread title allowed to remain as it is when even the OP only suggests that the culprits may have been students.

biko · 07-09-2010 09:30PM

Students Young people being dickheads, nothing new there I'm afraid.

Mr.Mister · 07-09-2010 09:33PM

It was me and my two mates.

darrenh · 07-09-2010 09:44PM

Is it not ironic that the guys shouting keyboard warrior are doing it from behind a keyboard. Guys, the fella came on here, as most of you do, to start a discussion about something he thought was wrong. This is one of the main reasons people use boards.ie.

Instead all he got was the usual boards BS of

1. Leave the premises

2. Complain to the manager/supervisor

3. Contact the gardaí

4. Dont you dare complain on here

Why not discuss the inappropriate behavior of these so called students than attack the poster. Defend them, condemn them, discuss the thread. Dont always attack or ridicule the poster.

Chances are by the way that they were students. He "said by the sounds of them" which means they could have said any number of things about college or starting college etc etc.

They were talking about their college course.......

Doom · 07-09-2010 10:42PM

A bit more info, I was just behind an old man about to walk into mcDonaghs, when this guy (in the red t-shirt) nearly pushes the older guy over trying to get in the door before him.

I order my food and sit down, 3 lads were near me (including the guy with the red t-shirt) they were very loud, the t-shirt guy was answering his phone every two mins and almost shouting down his phone, which the other two thought even this was funny (he was talking about college stuff) then t-shirt guy starts making comments (as a song) on the foreign cleaner ( using words like, african hiv, aids etc) he then walks up to get a knapkin ans starts marking faces and dirty looks behind the workers back.
He's two friends are laughing away....they looked so stupid, but they actualy think theyr'e cool to be like this
Also while this is going on there is a young family sitting very nearby too
and lots of people were looking at them and very annoyed by they're behavior

And to those who said I should have said something to them, why? I'd only be subject to abuse too, and would my saying something change these guys...I don't think so

I'm angry that these 3 guys embrassed us (in front of tourists) as Irish people

In fairness the OP was sketchy in its details, and students do get a unfair slating from time to time.

The bottom line is this has no relevance to life in Galway, why do new posters make the daftest threads(usually looking for info most of us get ourselves- where to buy an item, checking B+B's/pubs etc....)

At a push he could have made a thread in After Hours called something like ''students.... no manners in the 21st century?''...

This is just very sad. When i see people acting this way (when they drop litter, show no respect for elderly/different/disabled/weaker/foreign people or just act like ignorants and dickheads i feel both: anger and pity on them, because they just must be so bored and unhappy really ... and the worse thing is for 100% their parents are not much better...
Imagine how beautiful the world would be without those types..

, they can spoil your dinner, your holidays, your sleep even (if you are lucky to have them as neighbours)...
I used to fight this kind of behaviour when i was younger... and i always thought people around me will help, support, shame those who caused the trouble, but too many times i was left alone and exposed to even worse abuse or even danger.. so i so understand you OP. Sometimes its not worth it -they wouldn't get it anyway...

Blinking_Badger · 07-09-2010 11:25PM

Jesus, the poor guy only posted here to get feedback from other galweigans about what they would have done in the same situation probably and what does he get? Resounding negativity mostly.........

Why not make a constructive point people rather than just banging on about how daft he was for even posting in the first place/newbies blah blah blah........

I'm not surprised you were outraged OP and I'm not surprised you didnt say anything to them directly about their idiotic behaviour......sounds like you would have become their next target......and why should you have to be the one to leave while you're in the middle of your meal? They're the ones in the wrong not you.....I would have mentioned it to a member of staff.....discreetly, I'm surprised they didn't notice anyway by the sound of your post.

Hopefully your next trip to McDs will be idiot-free.
