I was asked for my student card today..

Oranage2

Yes, I was visiting a cinema at Dundrum and upon regging ya wan behind the counter went through my details and landed me with this bomb of
"Have you got a student card".

I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward slience said 'err no student card'. Then she just wobbled her head and promptly kept typing into her pc.

Now, what frigging relevance is me being a student in order to get treatment in a cinema?Thought Ireland was in the 21st century and why would a cinema care about my educational beliefs?

**Timbuk2**

Student discount.

student discount perhaps?

Sanjuro

That is quite a bomb-shell. I don't know how you're going to deal with a devestating question like that. It must be very tough on you.


:rolleyes:

Larianne

Maybe you could avail of a student discount if you have a student card?

cackhanded

What the hell were you doing "regging" in a cinema, and what kind of treatment were you getting?

mr kr0nik

Back into the library you slacker...

It was probably the Jade Winters cinema in Galway!:)

Educational beliefs...? You must be an educational atheist.

Mind the step, OP :pac:

admiralofthefleet

what interest rate did you get on the mortgage you took out to visit the cinema in dundrum

Dunjohn

Did she ask you what religion you were? Incase you died and needed a transfusion.

Excuse my ignorance but what those this word "regging" mean?

It involves saying the word "like" a lot when you're speaking.

Presume it refers to registering for a monthly/yearly cinema pass. The sort of lazy nonsense that would have been taken out of the OP had she/he been a student.

That seems to be the main question in this thread...the only information we have so far is that it's something 'Wans' do.

If being asked for astudent card to avail of a discount qualifies as a "bomb" in your book you're gonna have some fun when you start living in the real world.

Mint Sauce

Does a student card even show your educational beliefs?

Haha, stinger of a thread!

She obviously just wanted to find out your name so she could have sex with you. Youthful looking bastard.

Would you fall to pieces and revert to the foetal position if you were ID'd in a club or pub?

Knasher

She was obviously worried after the student protests in the UK that you might turn violent when she told you the prices, especially the price for popcorn. Incedentially this is why a lot of places have student discounts.

Riamfada

Perhaps a man going to see Black Swan on his own was either

a) a student with an interest in the academic artistry of the film
or
b) an unemployed pervert looking to have a quiet fap to the famous lezzer scene.


So was the scene that good?

So much wrong with this OP...

Now, what frigging relevance is me being a student in order to get treatment (Depends, were you after the student treatment or the colonoscopy?) in a cinema?[SPACE]
Thought Ireland was in the 21st century and why would a cinema care about my educational beliefs?(This just makes it for me)

I'd say they couldn't believe you availed of an education.

How people have quickly forgotten the hospital thread this is a ripoff of :eek:

I think I've cracked the OP's username...
"Oranage2" is either a misspelling of "Orange2" or my personal favourite, "Oran, Age 2".

Not familiar with the original material. Link please?

This is hilarious that somebody doesn't know why they'd be asked for their student card.

I know people in their 30s still using their student card (s) and getting discounts off everything from cinema tickets to GAA tickets. It's an entire subcultural frame of mind where a day when the student card is not used for a discount is a day wasted.

Seriously OP, what the fúck do you think she was asking you for? How you didn't cop it throughout the 2 hours sitting in the movie theatre and the bus journey home, walking up the stairs, having a **** or the time it took you to post this stupid fúcking thread is beyond me.

This explains why multinationals are complaining about the quality of Irish third level education. A very early candidate for Thread of the Year.

Follow Bluewolf's link below (or above). When I read the OP initially, I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward silence, followed the link and it cleared it all up for me.

Excuse you! I do live in the 'real world'! I've been working for the past 8 months in my Dad's company and I also help run errand for my mother like picking up the groceries and brushing her hair!

So don't you go on about the real world to me, pal!

Gordon Gecko

Hold on you get discounts on things for having a student card? WTF? I always thought they were for snorting coke in the Arts block jacks. You learn something new every day i suppose - unless you're in arts

Yes, I was visiting an opticians in dalkey and upon regging ya wan behind the counter went through my details and landed me with this bomb of "do you have a drivers license".

I just went 'wtf' in my head and after an awkward slience said 'err ya'. Then she just wobbled her head and promptly kept typing into her pc.

Now, what frigging relevance is me being a driver or not in order to get treatment in an opticians ?
