Audi A5 vs Baby

    Was in work today and one of the lads brought in his new car, an Audi A5, so a few of us went out for a look, we were about 2 mins late signing and we got a small bit of grief from our ATL's.

    Later on tht day, one of the girls brought her new baby in for a visit and half the floor took off for 15 mins, ATL's included. The office is 80% female......and nothing was said! How's tht fair!!

    Not being sexist, just bothered me tht we got grief.

    The baby was a cute little fella...and I'm a little jealous, what a car!

    No wonder. The guy who owns the Audi didn't have to squeeze it out of his hole. :mad:

    :p

    Seriously OP, I agree it's not fair that you guys got grief, but the above is probably where the mindset comes from...

    For God sake OP, they were going out to see a newborn child. A human being which has recently been brought into the world. Not a fecking heap of German metal.......

    Im with you though, gimme the Audi anyday.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,029 ✭✭✭✭Chuck Stone


    Aw. I thought it was going to be about a baby driving an A5.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 9,293 ✭✭✭sdanseo


    Am I the only one who was expecting details of a tragic and gruesome car accident?

    At least despite the OP's complaint this is a slightly less depressing topic :)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,455 ✭✭✭Where To

    Of a fella with a new Audi A5? - fúckin bet I am!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,739 ✭✭✭✭starbelgrade


    Audi drivers are usually ****.

    I'm not surprised the baby got more interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Damn it, I was expecting a story about a baby who managed to lift an Audi to rescue someone, or throw it at a supervillain.

    I guess I'll just have to keep waiting for a superhero to appear :(.

    They drive me demented, all the squealing and gurgling from grown women.
    And the comments
    "He's so small, look at his little hands"

    Of course he's small and got little hands, he's a ****ing baby!

    And don't ask me if you think he's gorgeous, all babies look like Winston Churchill mated with a potato

    I'm not that bad star :mad::p

    reminds me of when the single teenage mothers would bring their spawn to school to show off, nothing would be done all day. But when I bring in my flourescent pink magic 8 ball shaped like Jesus I get given out to... Where's the justice?

    I was expecting a moral dilemma of choosing between having a baby or buying a new A5.

    You're probably one of the nice ones. You know, the ones who are good enough to sell you drugs.

    :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    First of all, I wouldn't shít on a A5.

    Secondly, I can't understand some woman who do this. What the Fu©k do they want? A medal? It's a child not a trophy ffs. Oh and by the way, 100's of million of women have had children long before you so get over yourself.

    Oh in case the above is misinterpreted? I have no problem admitting women's superiority to men, I tell my wife that quite regularly. Especially when she rests her latex boots upon thine chest.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,940 ✭✭✭4leto


    LOL
    I would have chowed your asses for leaving the office to look at the car, the car will still be there after working hours and you could have had a look in your own time.

    But the baby you cant leave that in the car park till after work, so sorry I am on the side of the girl with the sprog.

    I thought it was going to be a baby fighting a car.

    Assistant Team Leader's, the people who go around when you are texting or if you are 16 secs late! Like those kids in school who were 'Class Captain' and went on power trips when they had to mind the class when the teacher was away.

    Was nothing we got thick over, we were just having a laugh during our afternoon smoke about it!

    :D

    I let other cars out in traffic, I warn drivers if there is speed checks, go safe vans.
    The drug selling is a nixer I do at the weekend while delivering pizza.

    Pretty sure that with some careful negotiation with some unscrupulous gangsters you could sell a baby for more than the value of an A5. Just saying like. :cool:

    Yes but this individual hasn't had 100s of millions of babies, nothing wrong with a woman feeling proud of her new baby, as a matter of fact that's a good thing.

    I did too. :( So disappointing.
