What Has REALLY shocked you recently

    Has there been an event where you really felt, as an open minded person, you were shocked recently by the behaviour of another. Perhaps an inappropriate action or comment was made and you felt "that's too far or that's too much"

    I'll give you an example. Last night I went to a concert in the centre of town in a city in England. I was coming home about 11.30 and walking for the Trams. At a main road intersection there was a few cars parked at red lights.

    As I approached I happened to notice the driver of a car was peering out his window at me, and then another, and when I looked behind me to see that they were starring at I saw a guy sit down on a bench in the middle of the street, take out his "member" and call another girl over...who then proceeded to get on her "hunkers" (do people still use that expression) and give him a blowjob as casual as anything in front of everyone.

    That shocked me. Of all the things I have seen drunken girls do, I have NEVER seen that (at least so openly).

    I suppose the whole thing about the abusing priests shocked and disgusted me.

    The thing that shocked me most recently is that your story didn't end with....."and then she gave ME a blow job".

    Yer man getting off scot free for setting fire to all the cars in the Terenure car sales garage.
    Causing something like €250,000 worth of damage, and getting a suspended sentence. He pleaded guilty too.

    Seriously, bring back whipping/physical punishment would so transform the Irish society, mopping up a lot of anti-social behaviour.

    I love Bloodsport, one of JCVD's best! Its Sudden Death you'd wanna ban!

    OK what shocks me is how human beings go on killing sprees (murdering animals) and how other people seem to think it acceptable and make a mockery out of it. Those videos are shocking.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 827 ✭✭✭Cian92


    I read an article recently that 10% of all anorexia and bulimia occurs in children under 12 in Ireland. That shocked me.

    Have you heard about Queen Guitarist Brian May's "Save Me" campaign, at http://www.save-me.org.uk/

    Worth spending some time supporting if you are against blood sports. Not that anyone could be for it.

    well I was in Dunnes Stores today, and the person in the checkout didn't know how to properly put a "reduced price" of a meat product into the machine... She had to call a supervisor to sort it out..

    Myself, I was both annoyed, puzzled - and wondered why the shop assistant didn't know how to handle such a SIMPLE ROUTINE....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,242 ✭✭✭mariaf24


    The price of petrol.

    When I heard about those 'parents' in Galway that abused, starved & treated their kids with such inhumanity. Seriously, my dog is treated like king compared to the treatment those kids got.

    I'm still really shocked that things like that can still happen in this day & age.


    And innocent people being killed in gangland feuds. Anthony Campbell & Shane Geogheghan spring to mind to name just two. Sick in the stomach when I heard about them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 476 ✭✭christ on a bike!


    One man one jar tbh. Should've known better


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Was followed by a gang of non-knacker-type local 8-10 year old kids on bikes yesterday who kept slapping and pinching my arse whenever they rode by, telling me to call them and asking me for a ride and all that sort of bs. They're 10 years old for god's sake. Where are they learning this shít from, exactly? And who the hell taught them it was okay?

    Then again I was standing outside a friend's house later and was getting wolf whistles and lewd remarks from 40+ year olds (god's sake, I wasn't even dressed up? jeans, cons, jacket, normal makeup/hair, wtf). So I guess that answers those questions.

    I'd expect that kinda shít in a pub or club or whatever, or if I had've been dressed up, but not in the middle of the day.. and not from children!

    More surprised at the 40+ year olds who should know better!

    Meh, it happens daily from people who should know better. That was hardly shocking. The kids were more shocking in that they were bold enough to actually make physical contact, repeatedly, in public. While "of-age" guys whistle and make a lot more remarks, they at least (usually) keep hands off.

    Presumably she wasn't taught how. Sounds like bad management. Hardly shocking, I would have thought.

    Had to bring my mam for a MRI scan the other day. She kept asking me to stay with her, right up till she went in for the scan.

    I know it sounds strange, but it really shocked me that she was scared, and it made me realise that she's getting older and more vunerable.

    Maybe she's just afraid of enclosed spaces? Those MRI machines are small & when they start up they are really noisey.

    Bet she's still able to give you a clip around the ear that would sting for a week!

    No,she's had one before, and knew what to expect.

    Oh god yeah, she's still well able to shout- her grandkids know not to be messing with her around :D
