    Hardly a job w/ perks.. or is it the perky bottoms. See this is what happens when homosexual views are just so full circle advanced it is taken as the norm in your country. but still outlawed.. even more so. A guy is only looking, ain't no crime brazen arse banditry in my view.. in his view; fücking mens room at that how is this?!

    Nevermind the fact I never return to such premises the landlord is lucky to still be alive for introducing to any self respecting male here this lowly African custom. Worst job in the world for sure

    Its been around in Limerick here since 2003, and most of the guys here have a raft of aftershaves and sprays with them. I honestly have no idea why anybody would want to do what they do.

    Because it's tax-free money, that's why. That's the only reason why - easy money.

    What annoys me about them is the fact that they switch off the hand-dryer on purpose. Cunts.

    There's one place me and the lads go to often enough, and the lad in the toilet there get's treated to my charade of "I am a German tourist here in Ireland and I speak no English at all", wherein I spout random German at him. This confuses them while I shake-dry my hands and make an incognito exit.

    These toilet attendants are a scourge - they should be getting taxed on these "tips" they're getting. Just imagine how much they make on a weekend with these drunken louts, and add that to their other income/social welfare. Believe me, they are making plenty of money. All the time you see the booooyiiiiizzz trying to gangsta-rap it up with the attendant and give off the "look at me being all in with the brother" look while throwing them 2 Euro coins every time they use the jacks.

    "night on the tiles?"

    "yup .. meanwhile a night on the ****in toilet tiles for that fellah.. har-de-har."

    honest, why be the object of that justified derision. is it the perks?

    I'd have thought because they make a fortune from drunk people mistakenly feeling sorry for them.

    What an outrage.

    Go on, tell us how far you have to stretch to switch the fuse back on.

    Don't be shy now, tell us the full extent to which you have to stretch your tippy-toes Ugglybollocks.

    Wow. I think 'the lads' and I have a new hero.

    I wouldn't call it an outrage but it pisses me off as well.

    If it was a tracksuit wearing skanger in there who disabled the hand dryer and emptied the paper towel machine - then tried to sell you the service of handing you paper towels how would you react to that ?

    I tip them if they sing songs for me. "If you want to get some pussy freshen up" is a personal favourite and I've been known to tip a lot for that song.

    With the same way I react to toilet tip guy - tell him my girl troubles and then ignore his response.

    Seriously, I don't begrudge anyone who feels it necessary to hand out cologne to drunken spoilt brats like me for a living. They're doing what they have to do to earn a living.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    I don't begrudge anyone, I hate chuggers in the same way I hate those guys. No begrudgery involved.

    But then, all one has to do is pass by a toilet tip guy.

    I'm sure the man grew up wanting to drive firetrucks or airplanes like the rest of us; man hardly needs it pointed out to him what a low position he fills. So what's the problem? Walk away. Probem solved.


    Well: except for wet hands. I don't know how we're going to get over that one.

    Sorry, I just don't buy into that 'oh you should feel sorry for them, having to work in a toilet while we have fun' nonsense.

    It's not meant as a convenience. The idea is to reduce drug use/dealing in the toilets.

    Dunno why they're all black but I reckon it's to have someone who "stands out" and makes it clear that he's working down there and watching you.

    More likely the fact that any tips are not declared, I don't actualy believe they are "employed" by the clubs

    Oh he doesn't have to work in a nightclub.

    I'm sure it would be infinitely preferable to some if he were claiming asylum and unable to work, or just hadn't come o Ireland in the first place.

    Like most Irish people, my parents had to work bloody hard for what they got in life, and here I can only see an example of a man doing the exact same in much worse, entirely degrading and embarrassing circumstances.

    If you don't want to pay him for his cologne,walk on out of there. I don't see what your issue is. Nobody is asking you for pity, but please allow us who wish to dole it out to do so, if that's how you want to put it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,787 ✭✭✭✭Charlie19


    Always tip them, they are only doing a job.

    You should check out the shoeless roma beggar. Poor, poor guy just can't seem to hold onto a pair of shoes. It must be so degrading and embarrassing for him. But he is a try-er you know ? You gotta give him that.

    With my unwashed hand.

    I moved them, same as I emptied the hand towel machine and disabled the hand dryer. Mwahha,. ok mo leaba awaits !


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,600 ✭✭✭Meauldsegosha


    Have to say I do feel awarkard walking passed them. But I wash and dry my hands who ever in in the bathroom. Some person standing in the corner isn't going to change that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,933 ✭✭✭holystungun9

    Each to their own I suppose, but that's not my orientation.

    I always tip em.

    Girls must love you....

    Here I got you a lolly

    Ah, you're so thoughtful

    Thanks, I got it from a random guy in the toilet - hey come back, where are you going...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    No, they are a scourge upon Dublins nightlife just as much as the homeless and chuggers. I shall not be guilt tripped into giving somebody money.

    I refuse to pay the jacks tax


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,162 ✭✭✭giant_midget


    Give them nothing, It's the same as the Roma selling roses on the streets. I don't eat lollypops at home after taking a piss..Also i tend to use my aftershave before i go out so dont need to top up with watery crap on his counter..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,253 ✭✭✭bonzodog2


    I don't want anything they provide. It would also be rare (like hen's teeth) for me to be in a place they frequent anyway. I have no problem with leaving with wet hands (water...)

    Is it just the male toilets they hang out in ?
    Do they bring their own towels, or do the ones they offer belong to the club ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,775 ✭✭✭✭kfallon


    I go in, take a piss, wash hands, dry them under the dryer and walk out. No way in the world I am tipping someone €2 for handing me a tissue when I am perfectly capable of doing it myself.

    They can ask me hole!

    them damn homeless.. wanting to.. live

    agree with the charity w@nkers though- large % of anything you give to them goes towards their pay and the agencies administration costs..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 638 ✭✭✭flanders1979


    If the crapper was spotless and I didn't have to drop from a height when taking a dump I mite give him 50c. At least they are trying to earn a living. I wouldn't do it.

    No.

    If I'm in a pub with toilet attendants I won't go back again.
    Any place that has them deserves to go out of business.

    Fair play to them for trying to make a living and all...
    They're only there because it's cheaper than hiring a proper bouncer and it's yet another stupid Celtic Tiger legacy I'll be glad to see the back of.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Ellis Dee


    I've never seen a toilet guy in Ireland, but I suppose it was inevitable that they'd make an appearance. I've seen them in various other European countries and they are just a throwback to the days of crossing sweepers and a nuisance like those scrotes who squirt stuff on your windscreen when you stop at lights. Just unusually and annoying active forms of begging, which amounts almost to coercion. :mad:

    I never tip them, because I am well capable of shaking my langer and washing and drying my hands after I have a piss. I also find it disconcerting to have some prick brush my shoulders, because I don't have dandruff. If the cnuts are offended because I don't tip them, well boo-fcuking-hoo!:rolleyes:

    If I want a service, I'll ask for it and pay for it, otherwise no. If restaurants want to impose a charge for using their toilets, they should have a sign announcing this. :cool:
