Sinead’s cash dropping route

Sinead Casey writes:

I bought a coffee in the Lime Tree at Kilmainham Gaol Wednesday and strolled back to Inchicore [Dublin 8] guzzling away. As I reached the Black Lion [Emmet Road[  a woman ran up behind me clutching a twenty that she said I’d dropped.

I looked down and saw my purse was inverted and unzipped and there was no sign of the over €100 in cash that had been there 10 minutes previously.

Cursing my stupidity I walked back to see if I could find any more and ask in the café but all I recovered was two supermarket tokens.

Fast forward to that evening and I get a call from a lovely woman called Siobhan who’d found a wad of cash and my hospital appointment card and was wondering if I was still at the same address. All was deposited through my letterbox yesterday.

Thanks Siobhan and kudos to the people of Inchicore!

Mmf.

FIGHT!

      A legend for returning what was not hers?
      Since when did it become the norm to keep a wallet and it’s contents if you found one?

      It’s nice to drop it back, rather than say to the person, i have it here, come and get it, but it’s sorta the normal thing to do, to not be a thief, I would hope. I mean I didn’t think you’d be called a legend anyway.

      1. Nigel

        A legend because you don’t have to be miserly in praising people who do good. It’s nice to celebrate a good thing.

        1. Anne

          If you found a wallet, what would you do? You’re a legend too I suppose.

          I think people in Dublin are just used to thievery. I dunno.

        2. Anne

          I’m not being miserly btw. I would do the same myself. It’s just surprising to me that people would be called legends for doing what I’d consider the normal response.

          1. anne

            Oh bite me.

            I can’t imagine even contemplating keeping something that belongs to someone else.

            There’s an implication in all the praise for doing what I would consider the normal response.

            Maybe that implication is the norm.. I don’t know.

            I suppose I should join in the normal response.. this is amazing. legend, fair play etc.

            I’ll continue to say the same thing every time one of these posts go up. Sorry now.

          2. Nigel

            Oh come on. Dismissing an act like this as ‘normal’ is just odd. The attitude of honesty may be normal. The act of finding and returning something to its owner isn’t necessarily something that comes to our attention all that often. If we don’t value that kind of honesty and generosity of spirit enough to praise it and celebrate it, how can we be said to really value it at all?

      2. Biggins

        Have you ever heard of positive reinforcement?

        People from traditionally rougher areas like this would usually be less inclined to hand back found monies than someone in a normal area like Rathgar, so this type of behaviour should be encouraged.

        Good girl Siobhan.

          that’s pure bollix

          If that girl dropped a nifty in Ranelagh t’wouldn’t even hit the ground, and wouldn’t even give a poo

          whereas in Inchicore the finder would be fretting about the poor divil who lost it, and wondering if they’d manage without it

          1. Biggins

            No, people are generally more dishonest in poorer areas. That’s why people don’t like being out after dark in rough areas.

            thats not my experience

            the posher the accent

            given that I lived in the Barn / Cork Stree for years

            When ever I’m in Dalkey, people are running or driving.

            No how’a’ ya

            No, people are generally more dishonest in poorer areas. That’s why people don’t like being out after dark in rough areas.

            You don’t even realise how offensive that is, do you? You don’t think ‘poor’ people can be honest, do you? They aren’t like proper people, like, let me guess…YOU perhaps?
            What if I said every rich man must be a thief, a bully, a cheat or a charlatan? Some of them are, so all of them must be.
            Logic, baby!

            Jobstown rules OK!

          5. Biggins

            isn’t jobstown the place where a woman politician was mobbed, egged, and trapped in her car while the raging swarm banged their fists threatening her safety?

            You make me sick, then you refuse to pay for my Doctor.
            FU.

            Only one of us is blind, you winker.*

            *poetic license. … you wouldn’t understand. I can’t be bothered.

          7. Biggins

            Are you sick? have you not got a medical card?

            I’m happy to help if need be as I’m fairly minted

          8. recreate@badatmemesvillas

            You are correct.
            It was Jobstown. 1 mile or 4 bustops away from my house.
            I live in the hardcore part of Jobstown, not the snobby end where this incident ‘occurred’.
            Our protest would’ve been more violent, and I don’t mean to allude to the innapropiate way it was handled by the Gardaí.
            I’d expect four years for kicking a Garda in the bollicks. If he kicks you in the bollicks it’s called democracy.
            You live in La-la land, you donkey.

    My highest commendation to the kind people who assisted this poor young lady. It warms my old heart.

      1. Sheik Yahbouti

        Any chance of de ride, Brother? You can test my cardio vascular health for yourself ;-)

        1. Brother Barnabas

          Seeing as you ask so nicely, OK – go on. All I ask is that you be gentle. And a text the next day would be nice.

  2. Custo

    Nice to hear! I walk that route twice a day. How many piles of fresh dogplop did you count on the path?

  3. realPolithicks

    This doesn’t surprise me at all, I grew up in Inchicore and the people who live there are some of the nicest you’ll meet.

  4. notmad, but MAD.

    Forgive me if I seem to give a 5hit3.
    I hardly give a bo11ix

    I just want to fight the cancer that will devour this site, WITH LOVE.

    You can help.
    Help.

    thank you.

  5. nomad@go suckalollipop

    A ‘SARCASTIC’ font would be a good start.
    We all know already that the retards need an escape route… I’m not saying they’re total idiots, but it would be nice to allowbthem an easier transition to adulthood. I mean c’mon… stop being dicks.

    People like rotide, dickheadonanisland, akaUKFC, Anne, anne and Tom…
    I love ALL of you…slightly…

    I dont mean to slag the French. They do a better job than I could ever
    hope to, according to some French ladies, but that’s a different episode, you strange person. Snap out of it.
    I’m slagging the Canadians.
    No reason.
    F off.

  8. bad-a-ba-da... yeah, yeah,f

    They think they have you fooled, with their insincere usury., their blatant disregard of your value and their disgustingly high self-regard.
    It’s not human. None of it is human.

    Kill the rich, please.
    – thank you.

  9. bad-a-ba-da... yeah, yeah,

    If one man is poor there should never be any man who’s rich.
