    Yesterday and today any trip through the arts block has been plagued by SU candidates and their minions forcing me to endure their manifestos and today the science block is just as bad:mad: It has destroyed any slight chance there was of me voting and at this point I’m on the verge of attacking the next person that harasses me!!!

    Well as it happens I ran into panda(the only canvasser I haven't been sorry to run into!) and she insists I vote for Mr. Hayden, then I myself would be inclined to vote for Orla Ni somethingorother cuz after careful thought and deliberation I concluded she's the hottest, so with all this confusion and harassment I'll just remain unpartisan:)

    I am absolutely livid!! I was having a total sh!t day and then while queueing to vote earlier I was continually harrased by two duffy canvassers they wouldnt leave me alone... I may have aggravated them slightly but for gods sake they should have realised that when i said no i'm voting for dan and you cant change my mind they would have just gone and left me but no. They just wouldnt stop barking at me and were getting kind of aggressive they were leaning over me at either side and i felt so intimadated. I was on the verge of tears coz i was already having a bad day. In the end some candidate that i cant remember name of and anto kelly got them away from me... and when i came out dan said sorry to me and i was like why... all i can say is i'm so glad its over and normality will return!!

    *hugz for Scraggs

    Don't fret darlin, sure all politicans and their lackies are a$$holes anyways...

    *hugz* i feel your pain... the eng building because of the layout of the stairs has effectively turned into a gauntlet! what a pack of assholes. even the sex appeal of the purple t shirted girls doesn't make me vote for their candidate.

    hint: use the lift in eng today!

    I hate all this crap that goes on around the SU elections. It's all just so petty and unnecessary.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    thanks Red & Seb:)

    Well you could just say:
    1. Tell them you've already voted
    2. Tell them to fcuk off

    OOOH, we should have a "How to avoid the Canvassers" thread!

    my hint: enter the Arts block through the left door from the Department of Lung Cancer. Going thru the Right door will inevitably lead to your person being assaulted by multiple Hacks.

    Avoiding the canvassers: Hide out in CS all day :)

    My tip for science is carry a blood stained machete and ware a facial expression that tells them you won’t hesitate to use it:eek:

    I'd suggest the library(where I am now) but they have it surrounded, I'm trapped:(

    1] well i was queuing to vote
    2] I did, the first 2 times politely and the third time super-angrily it made it worse though. and because of the way i was cornered i couldnt get past them...

    The sooner this rubbish is over the better.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭tintinr35


    so when do we find out what whingers have been elected


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 738 ✭✭✭TheVan


    Sorry maybe i came off as narky there!

    A platypus to the face might sort those canvassers out! (esp Duffy!)

    Night of the Living Dead comes to UCD.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,578 ✭✭✭Scraggs


    ha sorry TheVan... I sound like a total bitch! Duffy's thugs put me in such a foul humour i didnt mean to take it out on ye!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,604 ✭✭✭blondie83


    I was studying in Arts yesterday and spent the whole day walking around holding my DCU student card out in front of me...it literally cleared a path :D Btw if anyone needs an escort anywhere through the canvassers just give me a shout!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    One girl wouldn't get out of my way until I listened to her. I just leaned down and said "get out of my way or I go through you":D
    Funny the Duffy canvassers were polite to me and accepting of my decision to vote for Dan/Orla.

    Thing is I know what i'm doin for president but not for Welfare or Education.

  • Registered Users Posts: 10,255 ✭✭✭✭The_Minister


    Has anyone else noticed that Duffy has 4 times as many botherers as the other candidates.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,469 ✭✭✭Pythia


    I'm sick today so I didn't come in, so no voting for me.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,016 ✭✭✭Blush_01


    Get a Voted sticker. They really do leave you alone. well, the odd twat will ask who you voted for, but that's none of their business anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭tintinr35


    sniff sniff i bet ur devestated, i went over to vote there and had to tell some of those duffy crowd to get the fcuk out of my face!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,055 ✭✭✭snickerpuss


    I came in especially to vote today, hurrah.
    Actually the duffy people were really nice and friendly, made me feel bad i didnt vote for him.
    Ah well. There were millions of them though.

    I've always been of the opinion that the people who run for these elections are absolutely the last people that you would want to be given the job.

    Self promotion anyone??


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 7,486 ✭✭✭Red Alert


    i'm armed with a voted sticker on my front and my ass

    i was Qing and one of the minions came over started to talk to me about his candidate, i found a simple - 'excuse me but i dont want to talk to you, goodbye' went down a treat.

    Pythia, feel better.
