    AH would be the best place to propose ideas. Im a Dublin northsider in Dubai and ive just won a night in the Burj Al Arab for a night this Friday.

    Its something like €1300 a night and every room gets a butler.

    Stuck for ideas on ways to take advantage. Give me ideas so I can put this face on :)

    Can you get Butlers chocolates in Dubai?

    You get to stay in a plush hotel for free and you want to piss the staff off? Why not give him a decent tip instead, his wages are probably **** already serving every whim of spoiled arseholes.

    Lead him to the freezer and lock him in!

    Print out a copy of that face.

    Get the help of an adult to use a scissors and cut around the out line of the face.

    Poke 2 holes on either side of the face,

    Get a rubber band and cut in half.

    Place the ends of the rubber band through each hole and tie a knot in them.

    Result

    When I was in dubai over the summer I couldnt get over how friendly and well spoken the retail/hotel workers are. Most as im sure you are aware are southish? Asian and have flawless english aswell as arabic anongst their own language.

    To find out they worked for very little shocked me seeing as how nice people they were etc..although theyre better off then the indians doing construction over there, slaves basically. So perhaps just have a nice stay in the boat sail hotel and a spot of tennis on the roof instead of being a fool.

    P.s amazing city and country, you lucky fecker! Hoping to get work there after college.

    Try not being an Irish c+nt abroad. That would really mess with his mind as he probably rarely encounters it.

    And yeah I know. Cool story bro. Yore ma. TL;DR. And so on.


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,207 ✭✭✭The King of Moo


    Keep calling him Alfred and insist he calls you Master Wayne.

    Or, you know, don't troll him as there's no good reason to do so.


  • Posts: 6,025 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Since you want to be a complete dick about your good fortune, ask him to get you an ounce of hash.

    See where that gets ye.

    Pretty much echo you're comments! Best place I've traveled to was Dubai by far.

    Give him the night off. Ask him if he wants to hang out and watch a DVD or something. If not tell him he can go home.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,145 ✭✭✭LETHAL LADY


    Ask him can you hold his hand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,285 ✭✭✭✭Standard Toaster


    Have him spit shine your personal black mamba rubber fist you've secretly smuggled into the country.


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


    If I won a prize like that, I'd feel rather good about it and even less inclined than usual to treat hotel staff with disrespect.:) There's a saying here in Finland: "Niin metsä vastaa kuin sinne huudetaan" (The forest answers the way you shout into it). Remember that and enjoy your night in the luxury hotel.:):)

    Just remember that if you piss these guys (and gals) off, all they have to say to their boss is that your upstairs dancing on a copy of the Koran, cursing Mohammed and/or drawing pictures of him on paper and wiping your arse with it before flushing it!

    See who will have the last laugh!

    Hint: Don't piss of the staff there!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,962 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Be a hero and act as his butler, serving his every whim. Could either make his day or totally weird him out.

    So you found a way to brag about staying in that hotel?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,119 ✭✭✭Sprrratt


    Some of you react so bitterly. I was thinking of something funny that would obviously make him laugh too, not piss him off entirely.

    Considering a few games of snap if hes up for it.

    Then you have a different definition of "trolling" than the rest of us.

    So now you don't want to take advantage?
    You don't want to piss him entirely - just a little?
    ...And you want to make him smile about it too?

    Now you say you want to play Snap?
    Seriously?

    Yea, right!
    Something about this thread sounds dodgy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,398 ✭✭✭✭Turtyturd


    The threads where everyone is against the OP's original idea are always the best ones.:D

    ...Unless everyone is trolling him.

    I think it's a classic case of an OP backtracking after not getting the positive responses he wanted.

    "I don't want to troll him, like it says in the thread title I wrote, I want to have fun with him! What's wrong with you people!?"

    Trolling = a few games of snap?

    You're doing it wrong

    Have him suck you off.

    Tell him you have run out of toilet paper and that you dont want to get your hands dirty, then bend over in front of him

    Ask him to hold the rope as you descend down the side of the building with mission impossible theme tune playing on your phone.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 34,567 ✭✭✭✭Biggins


    Why would you travel halfway around the world to stay in a hotel for one night? :confused:

    Get him to run you a bath then distract him for a minute and throw loads and loads of bubble bath in on the sly. Try and keep him out of the bathroom until its too late and the suds are everywhere.

    wonderful, get the poor bastard fired then?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,442 ✭✭✭weemcd


    Think the op should find a fúcking life, then find something better to be at in that hotel or the surrounding area than annoy a butler.

    To put that face on him would take about 15 or 20 pints of Guinness with a few Jemmy chasers. . .


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,476 ✭✭✭Samba


    Take this saying in a very literal sense in this case OP. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, you want to troll the person who's going to be responsible for serving your food during your stay, right?

    :confused:

    That's not trolling, that's asking to be trolled.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,395 ✭✭✭✭mikemac1


    Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic prize but that's a lot of flying for just one night

    They could have least made a weekend out of it

    It has the greatest tennis court, have a quick game up there OP

    Hope ya don't get dizzy

    Mind you don't go sprinting and diving for the ball


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,517 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Crinklewood


    Can you get a picture of him beforehand?

    If so, put his image on the quilt cover.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    Just make him have sex with your missus over and over again , this will give you years of laughing at him behind his back.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 937 ✭✭✭Pandora2


    Aah how naive, you have no idea how staff in 5* Deluxe enjoy watching the likes of yourself, very obviously out of your depth, try and make yourself feel superior to the staff.

    Remember, you will be in their house:rolleyes: There is no end to the nasty stuff they can send your way without your even being aware;)

    On the other hand, be nice and you could just have a great time;) Remember these guys have dealt with superstars and billionaires....and they do it every day, you don't think that anything you will come up with will turn a hair on his head, do you???? Seriously??

    And no he doesn't want to play cards with you...you're work to him!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,923 ✭✭✭cloptrop


    Murder all your hookers and say he did it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,324 ✭✭✭BillyMitchel


    Ask him does he know how to play hide the sausage with a big grin on your face.
