I always keep an empty packet in the same pocket for just such occasions. Someone asks me for one, I pull out the packet and say "Sorry, this was my last one."

Why the shenanigans? Just say feckoff?

I was standing outside a pub in Dublin recently and a woman wandered over to myself and my friend and said to my friend, "Give me a drag of your cigarette." He declined. She then turned to me and said, "Give me some of your pint!"

I was pleased that her scabbiness wasn't restricted to just cigarettes. But she did seem genuinely aggrieved when we told her to get lost.

Haven't heard somebody being called a user since I was a kid.

Were they sleeveens as well?

LeeHoffmann · 07-11-2011 01:58PM

is this thread for stories about users or about people who always bum cigarettes?

hbert · 07-11-2011 02:09PM

Having a smoke after work one Thursday and a girl from work asked me for one. I only had one left and get paid Fridays so was broke and couldn't afford more. I felt really bad until she pulled twenty out of her pocket.

You'd think she would have waited til I went to take out her own??

She clearly was just using it as a chat up line.

You dropped the ball there buddy. You missed out on some primo-handholding there I bet!

The smokes woman - what a ****! :eek:

I've never heard of this honour code thing and I certainly don't know any women or men who'd carry on with that nonsense. Should have stood up to her, OP. Most women aren't such bitches either.

Snowie · 07-11-2011 02:33PM

thats what you get for smoking, i would of shouted can we do a diamond test on your arse

I can be so complex at times

Kasabian · 07-11-2011 03:07PM

Smokers are idiots.

I am one.

Most stupid thing I have ever taken up in my life and I have done a hell of a lot of stupid things.

Have managed to kick alot of addictions but those little bastard cigs always get me.

On topic, I have no problem giving a smoker a cig, we all get caught short now and again.

smoke rollies but would offer to roll one if someone was stuck but they usually just go bum a ciggy from someone else, works for me.
Was out on Thursday night and bumped into a few scabbers though, I got 3 cans of captain for a tenner at the bar and they decided to help themselves to the other two, I didn't mind so much the first time but I went for another round and they just assumed I was buying them their drinks for the night. They didn't even so much as ask is that mine or thanks they just wolfed them down. Asked them after that if they were going to the bar to get a horrified expression claim of no cash so I ****ed off and got myself the last round and took my cans to the smoking area with me. Fúcking as$holes.

Did you know them or did they just nick your drinks?

no I knew them but I didn't go out with them, bumped into them in another bar and we ended up going to late bar after with them.

So whats your experiences?

Two things come to mind for me,

Other one is a 'mate' who would always suggest both of us getting a taxi back after the bar closes (as me and him lived in the same part of dublin) ... Did it a few times and he always 'claimed' he didnt have the money to pay for his share of the taxi :rolleyes: Kicker was the fare would cost roughly around 26 euro dropping him off .. as opposed to around 19 euro if i just got a taxi straight to my gaff. So not only was he using me, he was costing me more too ... I then just fobbed him off anytime afterwards.

Story doesn't stop there about him too The bar we'd all goto had cheap 3 euro drinks. So often he would buy the lads shots at the start of the night. Say 6 shots (18 euro) then proceed to tap everyone for drinks for the night. And you guessed it, tap people for more than one drink too. Even saw him doing it with other people he knew.

Yours?

Sounds familiar. Is your friends name Eamonn by any chance?

Like most things in life its where you go that matters.
You do get alot of bitches in bars and especially clubs. You get alot of women looking to tap blokes for smokes all night ... certain percentage even do it with drinks - Flirt with someone so he can buy drinks. Then scatter.

Im 26 and dont goto clubs anymore. Stopped around 2 years ago. But geez, some of the most stuck up women you meet. I dont know if its just the demographic (18-23 or what ever) or just the kind of woman that clubs attract. But the stuck up mentality is unreal.

df1985 · 07-11-2011 04:18PM

i say sorry i dont smoke......as i blow smoke while talking to them.

I look like a prick but theyre the scabby ***** in the first place.

Nah its not.
Probably a mooching relative of his :P

He was something else alright. A total moocher but a sly one at that. Most moochers just take take take. He would regularly show acts of "being alight" like buying people shots and crap ... which was just a sly way of then getting into people. Spend 18 euro on shots ... tap 30+ euro or more out of drink from the same people on the night. I soon realised his game.

I know a lot of women who go out with the sole purpose of getting some fella to buy them drinks for the night. I'm a woman but apparently that doesn't stop these two particular inbreeds.
If you can't afford to drink stay at home bitches.

Or the completely self-centered ones?

Was in a Pub in Cork 2 weeks ago. Tried to make eye contact with a girl I fancied. Achieve said eye contact. Looks as though she's chatting discretely amongst her friends. Foxy thinks he's in here like! 2 minutes later her friend comes up to me "Do you have a staring problem? Stop staring at my friend, you're upsetting her!!". I'm like WTF! :eek: :rolleyes: Was made to feel like a deranged pervert for attempting a social interaction with the opposite sex.

Dudess · 07-11-2011 06:34PM

Yeah all that crap is miserable - but nightclubs and flash "super" pubs are full of it. The solution would be to not go to them, but that's easier said than done if all your friends are going.
Rock pubs ftw!

'D'ya have a spare cigarette?'

Yes, I keep one spare just for you.

I smoke rollies....

Mainly out of preference since I started smoking..... Never liked general cigarettes.

When I get asked for one though I always get "Oh, Rollies.... Eh, no thanks"

Never understood why

I was in Cork there a few years ago and got chatted up by a girl. Fairly hot. She was like "Arent ya gonna buy me a drink?" in a flirty smiley way. It was a cheap bar and i was in a good mood so said "Sure why not?". I was working and her and her mates looked like students. Anyway, no sooner had the bottom of the glass touched the wood of the bar was she off with the drink, never to speak to me again!! What's worse, another girl from her group of mates comes up to me and tries the exact same thing a few minutes later. I told her to feck off, to which she replies "...but you bought my mate one!".

The value of the lesson I learned there and then, was ten fold the price of the drink I had bought for the first girl!

hmmmm, only reasons I can see is:
- most people who smoke regular cigarettes cant roll. Such as myself.
- and even if the person giving offers to roll... most probably wouldn't accept as the smoke has to be licked to seal. Whole hygiene thing.
