nightmare of dealing with a Gardai and UCD girl.

gilbert

the story was just happened today.i just can not simply get over it. if you have spare time, just simply read it for fun. i am so unhappy with there manners.


got a email from A UCD girl for my laptop.and then took half day off work, in order to get laptop ready for sale.

took me 45 minutes of driving from Bray to the Heuston station, where she would like to meet me.

got text from her that she would be late for another 30 mins. everything seems fine to me.

about half an hour later, An Gardai came to my car and showed the badge, cos he suspect me as a criminal. and start checking my laptop and receipt, and also ask for my ID, Which i did not carry them with me today.

forget to bring the wallet with me, surely i talked to him with attitude,but without any "F" words, he was yelling at me on street, and told me that "you are a "F" criminal, cos you did not carry your driving licence,and wanna arrest me, if you do not "f" watching your attitude...

and then he took my laptop and asked me drive to the kilmainham Garda station. once we were in garda station parking yard, the gardai asked me whether i would like to sell it to her. cos i have been though so much thing, obviously i would like to complete the trade, the girl starts to tell me that she need to go to bank, wants me to give her a lift. well. i did, and then she said that she could not get enough money from ATM. she has to get money from her home. okay. i did drive her home on south circular road. and then she came back and told me that no money left in her house. she might contract me over the weekend, and meanwhile i can sell to someone. and also she is sure to buy it. but i got whole bunch of her text in handset
"Hello,
i've seen your ad on gumtree and would interested in purchasing. Do you have the charger included with the laptop? I would be interested in buying it on the spot with cash if I could come and check it out (turn it on, etc).
let me know if this will be possible,
Caragh "

oh my lord, i am so angry with everything. she fooled me over and over again,:mad:

at end of day wasted my whole afternoon and petrol for nothing. what will you react to this, if you are me?:mad:

Personally i'd go up a water tower with a rifle..sometimes its the only way.

How did the girl manage to not show up at Heuston to suddenly be in Kilmainham garda station?

The reason you were questioned by Gardai was most likely because of the upcoming visit of Queen Elizabeth.

nah, the Gardai just came to me straightway, and called my name at spot. :mad:

not really sure about it. Gardai mentioned she lost her laptop two weeks ago, which is similar to mine. but that is good excuse to rude my day,right ?

Aren't you legally obliged to carry your driving license with you when you are driving?

Just forget about it,we all have bad days,no point worrying about it now!

If youre driving you need a driving licence with you at all times or its penalty points time
If youre out of the car you dont need to carry it
I leave mine in my car at all times

^^^ indeed you should always have your licence on you, many people dont, but i still dont think that is enough of a reason to be shouted at by a guard, or be brought to the station,
am i missing something in this story

Sounds like she thought you had her laptop after it was stolen. hence the garda involvement.
Then she copped it wasnt hers, and did what all girls from that dump of a college do and **** you around. Youd swear they did a compulsory module on how to be a ****bag in that place.

To be honest, I've been in 3 cars, including my own, where people have left their licences at home and have been stopped at checkpoints. On one occasion the guards didn't mind, they were just looking at tax and insurance and on the other two they just said bring it down to the garda station tomorrow and it's grand. I've never heard of penalty points being given out even if it exists in law.

Actually, when I'm out of the car I do need to carry it. Firstly, if my car is broken into I can do without the hassle of my drivers licene being stolen and possibly used in identity fraud as well as a damaged car. Also, it's the only government ID that fits into my wallet. I'm not going to carry my passport around when I head out for a pint.

my case was not simply about whether carrying Driving licence with me or not? i had never heard any apology from either gardai or <mod snip>, and been played for the whole afternoon.

Sounds like somebody was a victim of the fake phone number in a nightclub trick.

Remember to bring my licence with me and not give the Gardai attitude when they're speaking to me.

It's crap that you were effectively falsely identified, but it could happen to anyone I suppose. Wrong place, wrong time.

If you think the Garda's behaviour was unacceptable, file a complaint with the Garda ombudsman. Forget about the girl, she's just a gob****e who used you to get a free lift home.

Har har har!:rolleyes: . Since they are easy enough they give em out to everybody, However as it progressed I realised that every girl Ive ever been involved with from that college has been a selfish self centred ****. I prefer to chase my women now, ya get what ya pay for(or work for).

Surely that says more about your choice in women than it does about UCD graduates, no?

Then why is it only the UCD ones that have been like that! I found the ones not attending to be sane.

I do attract some freakshows though. has its good and bad side i suppose haha

But yea I dont go near UCD women, and Im not suprised when my mates get the treatment too. Maybe Ill be proved wrong!
