We looked more like a boyband than thugs.

So, a dude felt you up through your pockets coz you look like a pretty boy & you're wondering what the connection is?

Don't think i look very muggable. 6ft 2 , 18 stone+.

Then again the scummer in question could have a knife so size or strength would mean nothing. Have the 3 euros in my wallet.

Did you mug the op?

The Big Red Button · 12-09-2010 10:38PM

First time:
I was walking home from the train station in Maynooth around 11.30 at night. A little bit tipsy. Some guy ran up behind me, punched me in the back of my head (what a gent), knocking me forward so that my knees completely split open (just in time for my college graduation the following day. Lovely.) He took my bag, nothing valuable in it for him. Still took me a few hundred euro to replace the makeup, contact lenses, car keys, random things like that. It was pretty crap. To say the very least.

Second time, three months later:
I was walking home in a dodgy area in northside Dublin. A car pulled up beside me on a deserted bridge, and the passenger leaned out the window and grabbed my bag. I held on to it, looked him dead in the eye, and said "Go f*** yourself." We struggled, I didn't let go. They drove on. There were witnesses. We called the guards, they caught the junkies concerned, and I was brought in to identify them. The courtcase is coming up soon. The guys in question were released from jail on "good behaviour" just a couple of days before trying to mug me. The guards reckon they'll go back to jail for a good while once it comes up in court. I don't know how these things work at all. But I hope they're right.

Third time:
Any b*stard that tries to do anything to me now. I swear to god, I'm not joking. They will come off a million times worse. Simple as that.

Think it's all bravado? Just f*cking try me.

You also get turned on by the thoughts of someone robbing you?
You and snyper should get together and do some role playing. :pac:

I... sort of have.

Was out in the town centre (not Birmingham, before I moved back); a very small, quiet town. Blue Oyster...

Stopped us dead in our tracks, a few of them started circling us. "HU R U, YE?" (text speak to demonstrate idiocy) a mate of mine calmly told them his name, and asked who they were; which, obviously was ignored.

One came up to another mate, said nothing, just held a bottle to his head.

Then one came up to me, and started going through my pockets. What I don't understand is - I had a wallet there, and he ignored it?

Not sure if that really counts as a mugging as they didn't actually steal anything, but it was still scary.

I think they thought we might have knifes, they seemed on the lookout - but I mean, for God sake; we were four white middle class kids. We looked more like a boyband than thugs.

Mad shit altogether.

Are you sure you weren't molested, not mugged?

punchdrunk · 12-09-2010 11:06PM

yup,bought a sambo in O'Briens once...

LuckyFinigan · 12-09-2010 11:13PM

Was mugged when i was 14, walked down the wrong street and next thing I knew two druggys had me pinned up against a wall with a knife to my troath. They took my wallet which only had about a tenner in it but I was fairly shaken. Reported it to the gards and they caught the fella that had the knife as he was aparently on a bit of a mugging spree. Its a pritty frightining experience especially when a knife is pulled, I stayed away from town for a while after that.

At Sziget this year in Hungary (a major festival) we used to buy food and drinks in a supermarket down the road and drink and eat outside it to avoid festival prices, a hungarian homeless punk robbed my tomatoes from my bag, worth all of about 30 cents, hate to say it but I left him on his ass and got my tomatoes back:D So silly to look back on as they were regularly seen shooting up and had a gang of about 15

wild_cat · 12-09-2010 11:38PM

Was never mugged but I did drop 20 quid one day and as I went to pick it up it blew away. Woman ran over picked it up and fùcking legged it like the wind.

I followed suit, she ran into the old Dunne Stores in Enniscorthy, anyone from there might remember the steps going down to the back entrance from the car park. I cleared them in 3 jumps while screaming "give me my fùcking money back", caught her at the bottom of the stairs where she just handed it to me.

I must have looked scary as fùck. I was only 17 and penniless.

Some little scumbag tried to start a fight with me at the Square when I was about 15 - she thought I'd pushed her in the queue at the newsagents. She started shouting at me, then took a swing at me. I blocked it, kicked her in the shin and walked out towards my bus.

Maynooth train station can be quite dodge after hours. Even during the day, the amount of broken glass from cars that were broken into was mad.

Almost. On holidays, in Majorca I think. After walking a lady friend back to her place I was making my way home about 3 or 4 o clock in the morning, my friends having long since deserted me. I was on crutches after breaking my ankle a few weeks before. A guy and girl, in their twenties, and talking in an English accent came out of nowhere. He tried to grab me so I promptly walloped him square on the head with the crutch,which seemed to stun him. She tried stabbing me with her cigarrette, (not the most lethal of weapons but still...) so I swung for her too,didnt get much of a connection on it but enough to scare them off. Not proud of swinging for her, but in situation like that, you cant take any prisoners

Cavehill Red · 13-09-2010 12:14AM

Years ago, marching up O'Connell Street in Dublin with my bag o' cans on the way home, a couple of scumbags stopped me and demanded my drink with menaces.
I looked around. After all, this is one of the most policed streets in Europe, right?
Not a sign of plod to be seen. So I sighed, and swung the cans at scumbag number one's head. Amazingly, he fell sideways, knocking scumbag number two straight into the path of my cans, and so both of them got a welt of my tinnies in one fell swoop.
With them both floored, I looked around again for someone to acknowledge my amazingness, but sadly anyone nearby was beetling away at rapid pace.
The last laugh was on me in the end though, because when I got home and opened up a can to celebrate, it fizzed up and soaked my chest.

I find it amazing how many hero stories there are but very few "The Mugger won" stories.

Me; I was 13-14 and got my phone snatched by a person that was suppose to be selling me fireworks. Now, I only buy my fireworks from reputable criminals.

He was a lot bigger, and the prick had a big piece of steel in his hand, scum to the bone.

To the above post, I vary between 19.5 stone and 20.25 stone.

orourkeda · 13-09-2010 01:02AM

I got mugged by a junkie in town. He had my wallet for about 10 seconds by which time I had him pinned against the railings of the central bank. A well placed headbutt guaranteed the swift return of my belongings.

I'd always imagined that I'd just bottle it and run but you'd be amazed what can happen when the red mist descends.

have you ever got mugged?
