The How to Get Home for 11 Cent Conundrum

TwoShedsJackson

Why don't you tell us where you are and where you need to go and maybe some kind soul will offer a lift.

As you've done sweet f*** all work this afternoon why don't you just stay the night, do a bit of catching up, save your 11 c and whatever it would cost you to get back in the morning, then you can come back on here tomorrow with the same conundrum but at least your work will be up-to-date

I fixed your post. At least what I'd do if I could drive to him.

Have you any sort of id? If so, go to your bank and get a tenner out.
Do you use the same cafe everyday? If so you might know an employee who'd sort you.

Or you could just walk

Go into a shop, ask for something obscure. Cashier goes to look, you knock over the charity box. Start picking up all the coins and just pocket a few coins. Go back in tomorrow when you've got your wallet and throw in whatever you borrowed.

No need to fret folks, I found a local wino who gave me a piggy-back home in exchange for half a bottle of blue nun I had lying about out back of the house.

Thanks for the concern chaps.

Toodlie pip for now!

High interest deposit account (4.55%) compounded for 74 years equals €1.40

That's enough for the bus right?

So did he walk home in the end?

Go to the nearest pizza delivery place and ring on an order for delivery to your address then wait outside and when the delivery guy leaves the shop ask him if he happens to be going by your area and when he says he is, blag a lift of him!

I'm my own boss so I can do what I likes.

Who carries ID outside of their wallet?

There really was. This is all true (possibly with the exception of the wino piggy-back home)




In reality I met a friend of mine and borrowed bus fare off him.

How about you find a local junkie who's stuck for 11 cent and get a jockey back home.

I know this will probably take longer than walking yourself but with umbrella in hand you can keep yourself and your steed dry and save you with all that exercise malarkey....

Like a prize oaf, I've been saying "jiggy back" for as long as I remember.

Or another scam solution would be to flag a taxi, get in tell him somewhere a good bit past your place and then few streets later you say "crap I've no money, dont suppose you can drop me off as a favour?" ":mad: get the fcuk out :mad:"

Out ya get and flag another one, depending on how far it is you might take ya 2-3 attempts.

or get a taxi home, explain your wallet is in your house, go in and get it, then pay the taxi man

too honest?

glad to hear you made it home OP :pac:

The same thing happened to me a few months ago. I forgot my wallet. I had my weekly bus ticket in it. Got on the bus fine in the morning as it was the same driver as the morning before. I had two euro in my pocket for lunch. The bus home was €3.50 and probably a different driver. A friend felt sorry for me and gave me the money. But it meant i owed her and as i student, i didn't like that option. So i chanced it anyway and told the driver i lost my wallet and gave the friend the same €3.50 the day after.

Happened a few other times too. I normally stand outside the bus rooting through my bag and then start cursing, ah crap i lost my ticket. It never fails.

At first this didn't make any sense at all, surely the bus driver would just tell you to f**k off. But then I saw your username and I understood.

I was a broke student once too but I didn't try to be so tight as to avoid spending bus fare that I'd pull a stunt like that.:rolleyes:

Glad to hear you managed to get home OP. In future lodge some money in a body cavity to avoid a repeat of your dilemma.

Wait until there is a stampede of elephants heading towards you.

Then pop into a telephone box, make a trunk call home, and reverse the charge.
