After years of giving me love and affection, my mother expected me to care for her in her old age! I put her in a home.

The time a wheelchair user was left at the bus stop as the lazy cow already onboard Dublin bus refused to fold up her child's buggy.

Drivers have rules to follow and can't have both in the wheelchair space. If something goes wrong and an accident claim goes in it's his job on the line.

It's not uncommon, it's been discussed on Joe Duffy and in commuting forum but I never believed anyone would do it until I saw it myself

If I was the driver I would have asked her to leave the bus when she refused and if she refused to leave the bus I wouldn't move the bus until she got off

A couple of years ago I was out in the local with my sisters in law, one of them was getting married the following week and the rest of us were bridesmaids so we were having a little pre-wedding night out.

One of the sister's friends noticed us and came over to say hello and ask was she all set for the big day. The friend was getting married the following year so the sister asked how she was getting on with her planning, and this friend launched into a big spiel about how everyone was being so awkward about it and complaining.

It transpired anyway that she was getting married in the bloody Four Seasons....in the Seychelles!! Her biggest gripe was that her mother told her that she wouldn't be able to afford to go. She was giving out that it was over a year away and would she not be able to save enough for her daughter's wedding, how she'd be missing the biggest day of her life, she doesn't know if she'll ever be able to forgive her if she doesn't come to the wedding etc. We all sorta smiled and nodded until she left.

Afterwards my sister in law told us that the girl's father had died when she was about 5, leaving the mother to raise her and the three brothers on her own. The woman had basically worked her fingers to the bone getting them all through school and through college also, and had just recently lost her job. The hotel where the wedding was being held was about €900 per night for the cheapest room, plus it was another grand or so for the flights.

This one's fiancé was some mr megabucks who was an actual millionaire and this stingy cow wouldn't fork over the money to bring her own mother to the wedding. She actually said the words "I can't believe she's being so selfish, I mean it'd be worth going without some stuff for the year so she can save up." Yes, some stuff like electricity, food, heating, all those trivial little things.

I heard later that the brothers were going mental at her (bride) for all the expense she was putting on everyone and how she was treating the mother. The three brothers were just about able to afford to go on their own (couldn't take wives/girlfriends) because it was so expensive. They ended up managing between the three of them to come up with enough to help the mum pay for a ticket over. It ended up being only about 10 people at the wedding (out of about 100 or so apparently invited) because basically nobody could afford to go.

One of the most awful things I have ever heard of was from a colleague of mine who told me that her son's First Aid instructor at school wouldn't teach them CPR because there are some people so selfish and self entitled that they are willing to sue those who have performed it on them/their loved ones and saved their lives.

The cases generally revolve around the fact that in order to properly do CPR and for it work you have to exert enough force that you will inevitably end up breaking the person's ribs.

Now I grant you that this would be extremely painful to experience but surely it's a small price to pay for being alive?

I can think of few things crueler and more selfish than to sue some-one for doing the most selfless thing anyone can do, saving some-one else's life, possibly at risk to their own depending on the circumstance.

This can be done but we have good Samaritan laws in Ireland. Pretty much if I act within my training and have completed it with good reason I am safe. ie. You aren't breathing so I give you CPR, I'm trained to do it and seeing as you were breathing it was within your best interests no matter the outcome.

And you would hope that our judges would have sense enough to know that, but sadly that's not the case it seems.

I think I read somewhere that what these people do is claim that technically it was assault because the person put their hands on them with force and with out permission (if they were out cold or in too much distress to give them permission).

All utter rubbish, and truly selfish imo.

Awful stuff alright but why didn't the mother opt to stay in a cheaper hotel on the island??

My mother was coming home yesterday and found a little dog. Checked the collar, rang the owner and got no answer. Grand job, picked up the dog and brought it home since we only lived 5mins from where the dog was found.

Rings the owner again and gets through. Explains the situation to the owner who then asks my Mum to bring the dog back down to her house as she's at work and can't pick it up. Mum explains she can't leave the house as she's minding two young children and it's not even her dog. Woman gets all snotty with her, huffs and puffs until she decides her husband shall come get the dog. Asks my Mum to meet him half-way. Half-way of this 5min walk. Mum again explains the whole young kids situation. More huffing and puffing, Husband finally arrives to pick up the dog. Turns out he works from home, let the dog out and just didn't really care when it came back.

Now, I know this isn't quite the same as trying to re-paint a hotel interior with your own arsehole, but it's all I could contribute.

So the dog wasn't lost? It was (less than?) 5 mins from its home.

Why did your mother steal a dog?

Agree with that. Unless a dog is in obvious peril, it should be left to its own devices.

Same goes for cats. People who feed other people's cats (assuming that their owners are starving them) are self-entitled morons.

Dogs shouldn't be walking around outside of the control of the owner anyway. It is a strange idea for the Irish though.

I don't agree. A dog (as the poster said) that can be picked up (ie a tiny, cat sixed dog) wandering a couple of minutes from home poses zero danger or trouble to anyone or anything. Only to busy-bodies who would, presumable exterminate squirrels and foxes too for the "threat" that they pose.

If I saw a dog wandering, rang the owner and got no answer, I would bring it home and try again. It's the same as I would hope someone who found my dog roaming the town would do.

Of course we could all just assume it's a local dog, and in this case it was, but why should that make a difference? If that dog had have been ignored further, what if it got hit by a car? What if it belonged to a young child, or a family thata ctaully cared about their pets?

A dog wandering along, minding it's own business is not in need of rescuing.

Sure, if a dog looks sick, injured, lost, in danger or hangs around for hours obviously lost, then of course (I've done it myself) do something about it.

But please people - don't just pick up random, walking pets.

No-ones going around picking up random pets. A lost dog by the side of the road is both a danger to itself and to motorists, and looks lost. Dogs shouldn't be roaming towns and estates anyway, that's why places like the DSPCA are overflowing with animals because "owners" aren't responsible enough to look after them.

TL;DR- Don't let your dog roam around on it's own.

Allow your well-trained and cared for dog walk around it's neighbourhood. It will be no trouble to anyone.

Do you send it around on its own with a pooper scooper? Who's going to clean up after this dog out on its own?
