Thiefing Students!!!

    Yeah, so I was *studying* in the library today and went off to a two hour lecture. Three days earlier, I bought a brand spanking new red Uniball pen.

    Went to my lecture avec black Uniball pen and UCD refill pad and when I came back, it had been stolen!

    What made it even more infuriating that the one who stole is was (most likely) some fat burd sitting across the way from me! I could see it, she was using it and she didn't give it back.

    Now, I know it's only a pen, but that's my point. It's only a pen, but it was my pen and I'm a very, very poor student but even *I* wouldn't steal someone's pen, knowing full well that I was going to come back to my table to use it again.

    I'm outraged and disillusioned. I trust people too much and this is how all of you repay me.

    Did you not go up to her and say, did you see anyone take my pen?

    bad idea. the fat ones hit back.

    I gave her a chance to give it back. Didn't ask. Next time I take the pen. If that doesn't work, I deck her.

    oh the wit :P

    That happend to me once in secondary school. Some prick stole my pen, one with a fancy light in it which had been gifted to me...anyways I saw him messing with it in class. I knew if I asked him for it back he wouldn't give it to me and I'd never see it again - so I waited till he went to lunch and robbed it out of his bag. twas most ingenious, if I may say so myself.

    It wasnt robbing if it was your pen, merely rescuing. :horned:

    Well done. How many years on this planet did it take you to learn this?:)

    Seriously, what did you expect? You sound a bit like those tourists who gp "Oh my gawd, I left my wallet on the bus seat and I turned away and when I looked back it was gone, oh wow!"

    You could become a costumed hero who goes around stealing fancy pens from the rich and giving them to the poor or something in that line:)


  • Registered Users Posts: 468 ✭✭Practical


    Why did you not just walk over to her and ask for your pen back rather than wasting time posting the horrible story here.... :rolleyes:

    Hey, prick, my whole desk was full of books and notes and books and journals and my folders and rucksack and coat. Obviously I was coming back for my stuff. I'm much too trusting of people.

    Hmm, very big man on the intraweb arn't we, why is it you feel you have to right to call him a prick, do you think that because DeVore or some other nameless (:)) admin gave you moderatorship of this forum it gives you the right to insult and abuse people on it. Far to many moderators like you around here mate, the administrators put their trust in you and this is how you repay them.

    As for the thread, you left books,notes,folders, and a bag there for two hours, and the only thing nicked was a pen, cop on and realise how lucky you where.

    tell her you'll enroll her into weight watchers if she doesnt give it back!!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,730 ✭✭✭✭simu


    Chill out, was just telling you that you shouldn't trust ppl automatically!

    In future, I'll say nothing, just bask in feelings of Schadenfreude:)

    yeah ffs. The only problem with this would be if she had bought the pen herself (or if she said she did). Either way you shoudl have just said something instead of being such a spineless whine about it!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,093 ✭✭✭woosaysdan


    or maybe she has a crush on you and this is her way of flirting with you? i take your pen you take me home kinda job

    I left my glasses down in the library in collefe came back and someone had nicked them:(
    silly students!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,731 ✭✭✭DadaKopf


    Boston, try trolling like that again and I'll ban you for a week.

    Simu: I mean't 'prick' in a fun way.

    I just figure: what's it to me someone steals a brand new pen? Interesting turn around. That was my pen. What's it to some unscrupulous student who's too tight arsed to go buy their own pen. I hope she choked on the cap.

    Don't worry 'bout it. Stuff like that isn't always obvious online, though:-)

    let me get this straight.

    you were in the library
    went off to a two hour lecture leaving a big pile of stuff on your table and didn't expect it to be stolen?

    tbh im surprised any of your stuff was still there
    i wont leave any of my stuff alone for more than 5 mins, like when im getting a book or something

    3 years later and still my notepad hasn't been stolen :/

    Maybe you just take crap notes and everyone knows it kif:)

    No-one's ever stolen my notes either.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    Notes? ahhh, now i realise where i've been going wrong!

    we're not talking about a public library here, surely your college library is fairly safe?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,875 ✭✭✭Seraphina


    no its not a public library, i go to ucd too

    who says college students are more honest than the general public?
    i'd say alot of them are less honest.
    there's 20,000 people in ucd between students and staff, would you trust them all?


  • Registered Users Posts: 140 ✭✭myhandle

    No, but I'd trust them more than those in a public library, cos it seems that most people in college libraries have a mission... to research for a project, to study, something.

    But in the city library if I put my stuff down I wouldn't turn my back. Not making a statement, its just the way it is.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    I never leave my phone or wallet in the library, but my bag, books, jacket etc yeah. That kinda stuff should be safe. Its not like yer in DIT.
