F**kin junkies

CommuterIE · 30-03-2011 09:14PM #1

So yeh, had to get the bus home this evening like many others, and the bus stop across the road from Connolly was understandably jammered...

I stepped back from the crowd to have a smoke, then some junkie (claiming to be homeless, but obviously not judging by his really clean clothes, lovely pristine Nike runners etc) walks up to me, squares up to me with the usual rubbish "spare change mate, I'm homeless etc (in a mad sturng out voice)"... right in my ****ing face... I nearly lost it with him... when I told him to **** off or die, he turned his attention to everyone else at the bus stop, which was packed with people... going up to mothers with their children with them etc... some were clearly intimidated.... what a gutsy bastard squaring people in the face like that... it won't be for long before he gets a broken nose!

What's your reaction in these circumstances? I was close to just loosing it with him all together :mad:

Man if he really was a junkie he would have sold those "prestine nikes" ages ago.

Scum! Hate brazen vermon like him. Someone will stick the head on him. Then the guards will problem spring to his defence.

Absurdum · 30-03-2011 09:17PM

a simple "no" works :rolleyes:

easyeason3 · 30-03-2011 09:18PM

My reaction? Well I live in the backend of nowhere that doesn't have junkies. I have drive to get around so I don't use public transport.

However when I do go to cities I am genuinely entranced by skangers. It's the typical country gene coming out in me & it's all I can do not to point & stare. I find Dublin the best for it tbh. I could easily spend an afternoon watching skangers in their natural habitat & enjoy it.

Yes, but this guy was brazen... he knows all about trying to intimidate...

James2693 · 30-03-2011 09:19PM

Why didn't you just give him the change?:) would gave made things a lot easier? Imagine if you heroically did that no mothers or children would have been intimidated. Tell me who is the scumbag here? You!

Jesus, I never get "confronted" by junkies at all. I've been asked for spare change, smokes, etc.. and told them to piss off but they never got out of hand or "up in my face".

Might be cos I look pissed off all the time - man up OP!

Well I wasn't a happy camper not being able to get the train.... I was as pissed off as one can imagine... it wasn't just me this guy went up to in that manner, everyone at the bus stop, including women...

I'd not be one for siding with these people, but I guess that is something that is gonna happen, ie them hassling people, you hardly think a person wants a junkies blood on them??
I remember having a rant about some local junkie and someone said, (not that Im religious for repeating it) there go I but for the grace of god, in other words, their life is infinitely worse than yours, whether they brought it on themselves or not and that you are fortunate to have come to the place in your life that it hasnt happened to you, you were luckier to have a better upbringing.
I dont think ahh that poor junkie sod when I see him the odd time, I know he is a parasite on society, I think, internally stay away from me but I dont think it with venom. just accept it and hope to not have to cross their paths too much.

You should hold 50c up in front of his face and pretend to throw it down the road then. When junkie looks away to see where it lands, steal all his spare change and smokes.

Last May I was parking in Dublin, can't mind the name of the street but it was near the Grand Canal docks and almost outside a Eurospar. Anyway, I was just about to pay the parking machine when I was confronted by a strung out rattling junkie and his equally grubby greasy haired toothless girlfriend. He pulled a knife on me and demanded my wallet.
Generally I'd have thought f*ck it and handed him the wallet but I had a few quid on me that day and he was fairly rattly....so I grabbed his wrist with the knife in it and with my other hand grabbed his throat and literally ran him backwards into the wall. Out cold. then as he was slumping down I drove a spiteful knee into his nose. It was a mess.
His GF tried to run off but thankfully a few people from the Eurospar had witnessed the whole thing and stopped her.
Gards were there within minutes and unbelievably told me there was a decent chance I'd end up charged with assault. Thankfully nothing ever came of it though.

3 junkies were shooting up on the dart beside me yesterday; first time I'd seen something like that up close. No subtlety either!at least they were keeping to themselves I suppose, but I couldn't get off that dart quick enough.

I miss dublin:rolleyes:

RichieC · 30-03-2011 10:04PM

There was a clutch of them over at the shops the other day when i decided to treat myself to a pizza, hanging around out side businesses causing a fuss... it was the head on one of them that annoyed me more than anything else, ugliest bastard I've ever seen, eyes about a mile apart and like piss holes in snow..

Normally I'm not one to judge on looks, but this scrotum was just the worst human being I ever seen in every way possible :mad:

That seems mad . I was told that no-one was ever charged in cases like that. were they young guards by any chance ?

The Ban Garda seemed fairly young alright, but the 2 male Gards were I'd assume well into their 30's and it was 1 of them that told me I could likely be charged.

and what about the guy who attacked you? Did our brave police force say anything about charging him?

Storminateacup · 30-03-2011 10:39PM

If they're nice then I feel bad and usually give them some spare change, I know i shouldn't that its probably just going towards their drugs, but I feel horrible for them.

However, those ones that try intimidate me because Im a girl, usually alone and not two hands higher than a duck?

They can go sh.it is what they can do.

Ah yeah in fairness, they were both arrested and I assume charged with (attempted? armed?) robbery. The Gard saying I may be charged did seem to be disgusted by the possibility of it.
I had to go with them to the barracks and make a statement and whatnot and 3 witnesses from the Eurospar also gave their names and contact details in case they were needed also.

Oh I'd never give them any money! anyway if you put your hand in your pocket, you're taking your eyes off whats going on and the wallet might be snatched out of your hand, dont fancy chasing anyone down, but I can see the other side of things, I wont spit venom at them, unless I was attacked and even then Id want to get away from them as much as possible, I certainly wouldnt touch them, let alone hit them, ugghh, maybe I just started watching too much csi, but god knows where those blood spatters would go? outta there
