DILEMMA: An Urchin Asks You To Buy Him "Baccy"

buy it for him and keep the change.

I've bought teens some booze but never cigarettes, that shit is just plain unhealthy.

dynamite logic there t-man.

bacon?

did an urchin ask you to buy him baccy?

Well, they way I reckon it is, moderate amount of booze rarely hurts anyone (I wouldn't buy a teen more booze than he clearly can handle), but if you smart smoking in your teens, it's pretty hard to kick that habit later on.

and if so wht did you do?

a teenager is only really going to ever ask for more booze than they can clearly handle

(I wouldn't buy a teen more booze than he clearly can handle)

^^ paternalist state ideology, in the flesh

did an urchin ask you to buy him baccy?

gave him a clip round the ear.

well played

If you also get them a bag to carry the booze in, they can handle quite a lot...

If he wants baccy he can just suck dick for it like everyone else, surely?

when i was at university a dude in my spanish class witnessed a stabbing in Dennistoun, Glasgow precipitated by a dude refusing rudely a wee ned's request to buy him booze.

o_O

broken britain right there.

Gantin' Glasgow.

TS: which does more damage to your health? 20 B&H or 2 litres of White Lightning (3l bottle RIP ;_;) ?

Well, what I meant by "clearly can handle" is "not enough to have made myself throw up as a teen". Though there's been only a couple of occasions I bought some random teens booze, so it's not like I was your regular alcohol-peddler or anything. I just felt solidarity for the kids, remembering the difficulties me and my friends used to have getting booze when we were teens.

And the logic behind "booze but not cigarettes" was, your probably gonna miss out something if you never get drunk as a teen, but nobody never misses out anything by not starting to smoke.

missing out on masturbating in front of a baby.

missing out on getting sick on your parents kitchen floor.

missing out on getting fondled by hormonal youth.

have said 'no' before

I dunno about you, but I had great fun while being drunk as a teen. I'm sure many others had too.

i had great fun smoking cigarettes.

i did buy booze for some girls once tho, unintentionally short-changing them in the process.

but nobody never misses out anything by not starting to smoke

except looking cool as fuck and being thin, presumably. (I'm a non smoker)

i would be more likely to have to ask an urchin to buy booze for me

I'd say buy it for him, be cool, cultivate those contacts, you never know who the urchin is going to grow up to be and you never know when you might need someone 'sorted out'.

valentine's day gift pack in glasgow.

yes, that is a bottle of buckfast, tobacco and rizlas.

ha Matt DC OTM!

i hope that bottle was a low number one.

otherwise would not be v romantic.

honestly. tesco refused to let me buy BEER the other day.

the most wtf was a few months ago, when we went up to my friend's country cottage for her bday (32nd!), and while we were stocking up on supplies in the local waitrose i decided to get some champagne and some port - and they fucking IDed me, and normally you just lol and the checkout girl gets the manager and they wave you through. fucking jobsworths were totally hardline though, even took the champagne and stowed it beneath the till as if we were going to run off with it!

i didn't have ID but another of the party did, and said she'd get the booze, and then they refused to serve her either as she was GOING TO SUPPLY A MINOR o_0

seriously wtf. what kind of 17-yr-old would be buying veuve clicquot and fucking PORT in the first place. not to mention hanging out with 28-yr-olds.

i got id'd recently buying a bottle of scotch and a bottle of martini rosso while wearing a suit.

I've never been id'd - I can't explain why as I've always looked younger than my real age. Actually I can explain why I don't get id'd now - because even though I still look younger than my age, my real age is now 35...

i got id'd in marks and spencers buying some bougie foodstuffs or other + red wine, about a year ago, aged 27. *shakes head*

Dudes need to cover their asses! That's why they ID. No thing.

I don't buy kids shit they aren't old enough to buy. This kind of got a lot of stupid teenage gutterpunks in Boise to hate me but fuck them and fuck punk rock too.

Curt1s St3ph3ns: "Hot, Ready, and Legal!"

I got ID'ed last weekend at the liqour store, even though I turn 30 this years. I think it must've been because I was wearing colourful hoodie.

people who work at shops pretty much get hung drawn and quartered if thet sel alcohol to underage peeps.

i don't blame them for refusing to serve.

Lol @ Tuomas Brigade really bringing some A+ material here, very fresh lols that are by no means tired old boring recycled 3rd-hand attempts at zing

oh come on

jokes about masturbating in front of babies will never go out of style

neither will the generosity of calling those "jokes" either, it seems

who is john d to complain about anyone's quality control, eh?

if teasing tumoas about mastrubation is wrong, i don't wanna be right

we trade liquor for zings in an attempt to tip the scales

neither will the generosity of calling those "jokes" either, it seems

^^^

"hey guys looka me I can bring up an old thread when Tuomas posts" is to jokes what alluding to my day job is to insight

btw the correct answer to this is "get yr own fuckin smokes like I did when I was your age"

u madd doggie??

nah man it just strikes me as pathetic when Tuomas, for all his frequent roffleosity, can't say shit without some schmoe goin "masturbating baby! hey Ethan am I funny yet?"

ian is not some schmoe

anyway you can't put a blanket statement on stuff like this poll....all depends on how they approach you etc.

u madd

To answer the original question, stab him and run off with his money.

i'm not doing any preteens or teens any favors

Whenever you masturbate, if you listen closely, you can hear the screams of babies that never got to be born.

J0hn d, what do you suggest we do with posts like these? ignore them?

ignore, forget, attempt to erase from brain

I would suggest giggling, cause given the baby/masturbating thread that's actually kind funny

Less funny = gaping hole in Tuomas's logic = if you but just "enough" booze for a teenager it's not like there are no other bald dudes in Helsinki they can get more from, jeez

P.S. I think anyone who needs other people to help them acquire tobacco is someone who could probably stand not to be addicted to tobacco, you know?

e.g. hospital-bound cancer patients

Hahaha was thinking more of teenagers and the homeless

aw, thanks mr. kyoo.

what is your day job anyway john? aren't you a sunday school teacher or something?

and of course, the point stands that when kids ask you for alcohol you have no idea what the consequences are going to be. they could be planning some fucked up date rape style shit just as easily as they could be planning to drink in the woodshed and watch R-rated movies.

You know, I don't think it's particularly hard for underage people to get alcohol in this country, so I don't think it's exactly a burdensome hurdle for them to at least convince an older person they know that they're not going to do anything stupid, as opposed to just begging random strangers

Now why can't the young people harangue me by asking questions about history outside the Circle K? That I would appreciate.

If a kid asked me to buy them booze or smokes I'd immediately think it was a police sting and tell them to gtfo.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

dan m damn straight. I used to do this shit but I wd thoroughly suspect entrapment especially since today's yoot buy their ciggies duty free from the bloke in the pub like everybody else.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
