Most Pathetic Thing You've Seen?

Cambodia was the worst for me. So many people missing limbs on the street begging. There was one guy with no legs on a skateboard dragging himself along with his hands. Ok, it sounds kind of funny now that I type it, but it was really sad to see.

:mad::D:confused:

Certainly it did, the fact that a mother might'nt have had £3 of disposable income

so every time she goes into a shop she has to spend £3. Maybe she has more than 1 child. Then she has to buy the other kids stuff that cost £3. Then everyday she goes into the shop she has to spend maybe £6 or £9 on stuff the kids dont really need. When you are a mother part of the job is saying no!! Trust me I know, and it's for their own good.
Think before you judge.

Social climbing. People crawling up the backsides of the local "movers and shakers". Local "movers and shakers" who actually believe they are movers and shakers, now that is truly pathetic.

Perhaps kids don't NEED education so? It a sorry state of affairs when a mother can't put three quid towards a frickin' book now and again.

That and those who get caught without paying VRT and moan about it then on a thread. That really makes me shed a tear.

Reading through peoples old threads and dragging it up in order to defend onesself: Now thats pathetic!!!

Most pathetic thing i've ever seen is kids arguing on boards about an island that doesn't 'belong' to any of them:rolleyes:

superfish · 13-01-2011 10:47PM

I think you are going to need to toughen up a bit, things arent set to get any better in this country for quite some time, a child not getting a £3 book is the least of our worries.

Perhaps the kid could f'off to library? Selfish little f'er. He wants it so bad, he can get a f'ing job.

If you wish to debate so vigorously as you are, then you're leaving yourself quite open.

Cost of fine divided by £3....

You have no idea what kind of mother she is. How on earth does not wanting to buy a book indicate anything at all? Perhaps the book was crap, perhaps the kid has similar books, perhaps she just can't afford it. Who cares? I think it's a lot more pathetic to judge complete strangers on an interaction you witnessed in a shop. My mum almost always used to say no when we asked for stuff in shops (books, clothes, whatever) and thankfully nobody called Save The Children. :rolleyes:

Are you sure your not the kid who didnt get the book?

Tonyandthewhale · 13-01-2011 10:50PM

I don't think it's pathetic that the mother didn't buy the child a book, can't buy kids everything they want, fair enough. However the words "I'm not spending £3 on a book" is somewhat chilling. She didn't say, "I'm not spending £3 on another book, you've got lots of books at home." Instead she's implying that a book couldn't be worth £3, oh dearie me.

Oh yeah it was totally an ipod the child was asking for, not a book about the alphabet which would stimulate the young ones mind. And for £3 in a bargain book shop in belfast, the price of a can or two adults have no problem spending money on

That's a bit silly. You make it sound like the mother was heading to the off licence after the book shop. :rolleyes:

Not everybody spends all their money on alcohol. There is also coke, hookers and cannabis.

I can see there is no point in having a grown up discussion here, so Ill call it a day on this thread!

A think a big difference here is that VRT is an illegal tax that nobody should actually pay, whilst your £3.00 is for a book featuring Elmo from a company interested in making cash and which couldn't give a crap about the children reading. If the kid's going to cure cancer, a lack of Elmo just this one won't stop him.

Most pathetic thing ive seen...

Well i was filing through some threads on an internet forum called After Hours. Some Mother Theresa that has no children and is unlikely to find a mate to have one with due to their abrasive nature starts a thread looking for replies in the line of "Yea dude, you're so dead right - you are a real winner" unfortunatley the OP didnt get the reaction he was looking for so he attacks everybody that replies negatively.

I found that pretty pathetic

I was on a train so I didn't have time to take in the entire project....but it was certainly in it's final stages....I don't know if it was a man horse or lady horse.....but the horse f*cker was definitely a dude.

Maybe she brings her child to the library where she can borrow books free...just a thought!

superfish · 13-01-2011 10:56PM

Yeah now and a-feckin-gain. Unless you followed these people home, and rooted through the child's possessions would you know if this child doesn't have a few books. There is no need to buy books every time you see one. It's after Christmas, the child probably got toys and books then and doesn't need anything more. Not to mention school or nurseries which are full of books, to read at no charge! Whenever I or my siblings were young there was no end of books coming in as hand me downs and what not.

God. It was just this one time it was a book. Children ask for things. A lot. Had you seen a child asking for loads of things and getting them you'd be calling it spoilt. Ya can't buy a book every time a child asks for it. No matter if it's three euro or not. GOD!

If you want serious discussion then you probably shouldn't have come to After Hours. No need to get your knickers in a twist!

nosey rosie · 13-01-2011 11:25PM

The unjustified, OTT nastiness directed towards the OP's perfectly reasonable post, I find pathetic. Some of you are easily annoyed, why don't you relax?

The most pathetic thing I've seen recently was that documentary on the fattest man in the U.K. He was so fat he wasn't recognisably human. He had carers who washed the folds in between his rolls of fat and cooked for him - not even healthy stuff, just whatever he wanted. Worst, he didn't take any responsibility for what he'd done to himself, and blamed the NHS and his carers for ALLOWING him to get that way.
