Topic: Mingebags

[Jake]

really?  Ill bow to your training of course, but I know a story of a guy moving in with a woman, and after proving he lived there by way of paying bills was able to make a claim?

Is the story of mine bullshit? It could be, as the story doesn't come from any horses mouths but village gossip

Yeah mate it's bull I'm afraid. If they pay directly to the deposit they can claim they have an interest in something called a resulting trust. If they didnt, but they come in later and pay the mortgage, or maybe something massive like pay for an extension, then they can claim they've an interest under a resulting trust. Trusts of Land and Appointment of Trustees Act 1996.

Sorry to bore you

To much reality here.

I worked with a bloke who had his sarnies wrapped in the same piece of grease proof paper every day for years.

Mingebag or environmentally conscious?

Being strict vegetarian reading that almost made me puke.

Gross.

I bet you could smell him and his sardines from a mile away.

This post had me confused as hell. Was thinking where did they mention if the sarnies had meat in them? And what the fuck do sardines have to do with it?

Not sure about the sardines but he kept a household account notebook in his desk which gave us great hilarity.

He once took an aged aunt for lunch as he was due to inherit. He pushed the boat out and ordered a half bottle of house wine between him, wife, two daughters and aunt.

Sarnies, aren't Sardines mate

He’s probably given up sarnies as well.

Nothing but plain cucumber on 20 seed loaf sarnies for him

Beggars and homeless are two different things. I know for a fact most in Liverpool are making a nice living out of well meaning but gullible/naive people. Ask anyone who has spent time in a homeless hostel, a mate of mine since junior school ended up in one and I dropped him off there a few times, many dont want help and not as many as you think have drug problems. Some people are more than happy to live day to day and have no responsibilities to them selves or wider society.

I like to spend 10 minutes or so talking to them when I can.

It was about 3 days before Christmas and it was really freezing cold and as I crossed the Gateshead Millennium bridge a lad was sitting on the ground with a blanket over himself.  The blanket looked brand new and his clothes were clean and tidy as was his hair.  He really did not look like he had spent the night there at all.  I'm talking away with him when he gave me a sob story about his Father kicking him out the house I was feeling sorry for him so I crossed back over the bridge and went along Newcastle Quayside to the Greggs there and bought him coffee, 2 hot pasties and 4 donuts.  I went back and gave them to him and spent another 10 minutes or so chatting.  The time I was there with him 4 seperate people stopped and gave him money, one of them gave him a fiver.  I said to him, 'you're doing all right, how much do you usually get in a day"?  He said on a week day usually about £80 but more on weekends, Sat and Sun usually about £150 a day"

I'm thinking, "fuck me, £700 a week, in the hand, tax free" and here's me buying you coffee and food.   

Another time I was walking through town and a woman, young, probably 20's was on the street begging and she looked really scruffy and freezing cold / miserable and I gave her all the change I had, not sure about £4 I think, I know there was a £2 coin in there.  Any way, about 15 minutes later I'm walking along the street and 3 people, 2 males and 1 female were walking towards me.  When I was level with them 1 of the males said 'have you got any change mate?  I said 'no, sorry I haven't (which was true cos I gave it to the lass earlier) and soon as I said that the female shouted, really loud 'WELL PISS OFF THEN"

I had no idea what a sarnie was so took a wild guess at sardines haha

They couldn't have had much.

Were they drinking the half bottle of wine out of shot glasses?

Aunt Agatha probably got a wine glass to make sure she signed the will, the other four thimble measures.

I read the post a few minutes after it was posted yesterday and I'm still in shock that he asked how much the unborn twins were contributing.  What kind of an absolute c*nt asks that?

Just read this. The response ran like this in my mind:

"What are they contributing?"
"Me not punching you in the face you tight c*nt"

[CraigDS]

If a c*nt brother in law said that about my unborn kids I'd be having a word.

Then again, I'd probably not get the chance as my missus would have twatted her own brother for even coming close to suggesting such a comment.

People like this get away with it, and continue to do it, because people pussy foot around them and don't call them out on their shit.

[fingermouse]

My mate went to maccies with his missus' aunt and uncle. The aunt buys a hamburger then produces a cheese slice from her handbag to make her own cheeseburger. [emoji23]

What`s the view on giving beggars a few coins (or more)?

I generally do, most don`t seem to want food etc, but when i`ve done it with colleagues with me they just say "they`re not real beggars, they`re part of a gang". I`m not exactly going to stop and ask for their full CV or make sure they`re "good old-fashioned British beggars."

Isn`t it mingey not give them money if you have spare?

The Romanians in town get ignored by me and that blagging twat 10p Lee get told to fuck off by me a few nights ago. He's the Scouse lad outside Tescos on Smithdown. There s that black lad with his dog who walks around Smithdown and the top end of town that doesnt even try it on with me anymore.

I believe in equality and treating all blaggers equal.

Who is the mingebag here?

Last year I was walking along the Leeds/Liverpool canal near to where Melling meets Maghull when a collie dog started to follow me.

I just thought it's owner will be with him somewhere so just gave the dog a friendly pat and rub on the head etc

I walked further along and the dog was still with me.

So I stopped and waited for its owner to catch me up - no one came along.

So I shouted 'hello' 'is this your dog' out loud hoping someone would hear me - nothing. And no one around either only some random people out for the day.

Anyhoo, I saw that the dog had a collar and on that collar was a metal 'badge' (whatever its called) with its name on and a contact phone number so I rang the number and this fella said 'Great! Can you bring him here...' and gave me an address.

I googled the address and walked the dog back home (it was quite happy to stay by my side - lovely dog).

It was about 4 miles and I arrived at this massive house on Beech Road Aughton (don't worry mods I won't give the full address).

There was a Range Rover and another 4x4 car on the drive so I didn't know why he couldn't have driven out to pick the dog up - anyway, I was there now so.

I knocked on the door and said to the guy 'Here's (dog's name). He must have got lost and just started to follow me'.

And the guy said 'Yes, he's always doing that - thank you. We'll have to make sure we close the gates in future ha ha!' and then said 'Take care mate, thanks again, cheers!' And closed the door - not in my face but y'know.

Now I wasn't after any monetary reward (yes, I was) but it did make me feel like I was one of his staff returning his dog!

I walked away feeling a bit bemused and pissed off too.

Now we don't do good deeds just to be rewarded but kin el, big house, nice area, 4x4 cars - but he did say thanks I guess.

Am I wrong expecting someone, who's obviously not short of a few quid, to at least give me a flim?

Or am I the mingebag because if it would've been a little old lady on a council estate then I would have refused a reward full stop!

If I understood right, you would've refused a reward if it was an old lady because you were returning the runaway dog.
So whats changed now? You were returning a runaway dog. Why should the social status of the recipient of a good deed, determine if (and how much) you must be rewarded?
You did what you had to do. As far as I am concerned, you earned good karma points and thats it. Nothing to do with the idea of a mingebag.

Returning someone’s dog out of expecting a reward is defo mingebaggery

Good point.

Ha ha    but I wasn't expecting a reward until I saw the house - I would've returned the dog anyway.

Mind, I could have kept the dog as he seemed happy in my company

Perilously close to dognapping I'd say, never mind mingebaggery.

[Lee1-6Liv]

If he knew you were 4 miles away when you found the dog then he's a twat for making you walk the dog back that far.

[liverbloke]

You know what, I don't even think I said where I was - I said something like 'I've found your dog and rang this number' and it went from there.

Thinking about it now it was a long way - well, maybe 3 miles - and why was the dog on the canal in the first place?

And how long was he going to wait before checking on the dog?

Flippin eck - maybe I should've rang the RSPCA!

As I've said, it was an absolutely lovely dog - friendly, didn't bark, trusted me.

Here it is with a woman (I've cropped her face from the photo) giving me directions to the road.

[El Lobo]

Maybe the owner is such a mingebag that he just chucks the dog in the car when he goes shopping and just lets it out wherever, and waits for someone to return him so he doesn’t have to walk it.

If that was my dog then I'd be giving the person who found it £10/20 for a couple of pints or a crate of lager at least.

You'd have saved the fella a good few quid because if it ended up getting put into a kennel the council charge you around £100 to get it back

[Red Viper]

So used to this thread that I expected this story to end with it turning out the fella does this on the regular as a cheap way of avoiding to pay a dog walking service.

[gwalk]

was out for a drink the other night, she said oh stay for another one, ill get them...

she orders 2 drinks and then sits their expecting me to pay for them... like i'll gladly buy ya a drink but dont offer then expect me to pay for it

Just came out of Homebargains and they didn't charge me for a pack of Wagon Wheels 

I could have went back in and told them but I thought 'well in' and gladly took them home   

Am I a 95 pence worth of mingebaggery?

Barely worth charging you for them anyway. Wagon wheels? More like wagon viscounts.

4 Miles

You're a fucking mug for agreeing to walk that far.

If it was me I'd have said you can either come and collect him now from my current location or he's coming to mine where you can also come and collect him, or somewhere mutually convenient like a pub or something.

I say that because if that was my pet I'd be absolutely going out of my mind in the first place and would feel indebted with gratitude to the person that found him. How long does it take a dog to run 4 fucking miles anyway? He must have been missing for ages and the bloke hasn't even left his house yet?

Yeh, I think I was just caught up in the moment and just acted like a robot 

I was on the canal again the other day and a big hard fella walking his look-a-like dog came toward me and the dog went to sniff my balls - yes, they were inside my jeans - and this guy just absolutely twatted the dog in the belly!

Man it sounded like he'd hit a punch bag. The dog yelped but in a way that he was used to getting a kick - if you know what I mean.

I said to the guy - too big to confront really - 'hey mate that's alright he was just checking me out' and the guy just smiled at me and nodded and continued his walk.

Further on down the canal a rat ran out in front of me, stopped and stood his ground - I'd had enough of confrontation by then and just turned around and went home
