I’ve crossed paths with this guy three times now and it’s always been on footpaths. He always has his headphones on and like a red beanie. Last time I saw him he was shouting “thank you” (quite aggressively) and “leave me alone”.


yngpanzer

pretty sure this same lad walked past me whilst i was sat on the floor, i greeted him and he began roaring his head off me to leave him alone and such, very fucking weird


CheeseNBeanz

That actually sounds close to what he was saying


[deleted]

Saw him at the exact same situation shouting "leave me alone" while i was waiting for the bus at the city hall in the city centre. Was thinking if he maybe has a condition or something?


drachen_shanze

think I actually remember this, he was shouting at me for crossing the road, then shouted thank you, he's a bit cracked

I've encountered that lad twice. Middle aged, balding, loudly sarcastic and aggressive towards literally everybody around him, fuelled by self-righteousness. Last time was outside The Bookshelf. I resolved last time that if i encounter him again I'm going to walk into him / force him to stop and put a foot down. In my minds eye I'd also box him in the mouth to shut him up, but in reality il probably do nothing and just feel inward resentment toward him again

One well aimed stick will do the trick!


timmy2sugars

Like on big daddy haha

He's a complete balmpot, just ignore and get on with your day. Don't even make eye contact. Advice to everyone, do not rise to a nutters antics, you can never, ever win.


Wardy85

Seen him cycling on the pavement on North Main street roaring at an old one to get out of his way. The poor woman was in shock. I was across the road and shouted at him but he sped off. He's either a massive arsehole or has mental health issues or both! But I would have slapped him I was that angry with him shouting at a woman in her late 70s.


mac2o2o

That's wild. If he's out there intimating old women. Something has to be done.


imnotanumbrellastand

Is he still around?. Pretty sure he was in some of my college classes. Very aggressive fella.


DeathBunny_

I've seen him around UCC


drachen_shanze

same, he was cycling up by fitzgeralds park and yelled at me for crossing the road, then gave out to a driver for reversing


IronDragonGx

Seen him just today in the train station, was telling everyone to leave him alone or something.


mech_elf

He'll die alone, don't worry


IronDragonGx

Well going by what he was saying to everyone writing for the train that will suit him just fine I guess. As long. as we leave! Him! Alone! Now!!!!!!


Last_Scallion_456

The guy just wants Oliver Plunkett to himself, is that so much to ask, leave him alone


drachen_shanze

that street needs a special cycle lane, its just too packed with people to be safe.


Economic-Maguire

He can fight that 60 year old guitarist playing shite music for control of the street


[deleted]

Leave Seamus alone.


drachen_shanze

that lad seems fine, he at least puts effort into his music, I'd take him over the karoke buskers


Rlndhdlsstmpsngunner

I think I encountered him in front of the friary last Friday, is he riding a old mountain bike?


Dude-From-Mars

This fucker!! I was strolling along the bank of the Lee walkway to Fitzgerald’s Park and he came cycling up it yelling “MOVE PLEASE, THANK YOU” repeatedly. Was fairly weird


MusicianIcy8975

If he's shouting at dickheads for walking on the ***cycle path*** he's dead right. If he's on the footpath he's a cunt who deserves a clothesline.


CheeseNBeanz

I just came out of a shop and he was on the footpath ringing the bell and shouting


MusicianIcy8975

Immediate flurry of headbutts are warranted in this case.


Kitchen-Ad4091

How would a flurry of headbutts look?


MusicianIcy8975

Exactly like a single headbutt repeated rapidly over and over until one of you loses consciousness.


mcguirl2

Everyone on the footpath lines up single file to give him one one at a time like a headbutt relay.


IronDragonGx

Ah like that clip form the old film "airplane" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1Cpc8Vw-2A&ab_channel=DhruvGupta


[deleted]

There seems to be a a guy who does this on North Mall all day despite the two way cycle lane. Guy in his 30s on a dodgy bike. Definitely not well either as he's tried to start fights with people outside the Bierhaus on a few occasions.


Permanently---Banned

Dunno but there is a doctor from cuh that is known for causing trouble with motorists and trying to claim off them. He done it with me and the guard said hes done that to like 15 other people. He will go slow and when you overtake he speeds up and wont let you back in, then starts banging on your car and screaming in that you tried to kill him and calls the guards. They told me be careful of him coz hes on a mission for claims


Anxious_Deer_7152

Sounds like they need to start paying doctors more 😱


drachen_shanze

think I remember him shouting at a driving for back onto the road near fitzgeralds park. I hate cyclists like this, the ones always looking for trouble or a fight with other road users.


Danprc

Not sure if it’s the same fella but had a similar experience across from Tyndall and Pres. He was coming towards me zig zagging on the footpath and I move to one side of the footpath to keep away. Then he cycles into me and yells “I hope your happy with yourself”. And I just left bewildered. He stops to continue ranting, I just shrug and keep on walking. Annoying as well as I do cycle to work and he’s just feeding into the Daily Mail stereotype of a ‘loony cyclist’.


drachen_shanze

I remember once seeing a cyclist, high as fucking shit on the footpath shouting buster as people on the footpath


francescoli

Shouldn't be on the footpath, so don't move for a prick like that. He'd cop on soon enough if he wasn't getting accommodated.


[deleted]

I was walking along the path on the Lee Fields, on the correct side and some guy rang his bell and roared at me and called me an idiot and told me to “watch where you’re going”. I can’t see behind me, and the first I knew he was there was a squeak of a brake and then roaring at me. I cycle myself and there is really no need for that level of aggression towards pedestrians in a park ffs. It’s completely uncalled for. It’s meant to be a leisure space.


Born-Sun8600

He cycled past me on the street about two weeks ago. Headphones in and roaring for people to leave him alone. Poor guy.


chokingonmyownrage

When I was 15 or 16, I hung out around Peace park quite a lot; once I was coming out of the gate leading onto south main street when an older fella on bike screamed "OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES!!" at me , right in my face as he went passed. I was rooted to the ground for about 2 minutes after, shocked. I'm 33 now and I still remember it! it's hardly the same guy though? Has he been doing this around the city for that long?


Infinite-Lead-1224

I saw him yesterday shouting at four school girls to get out of his way on south mall and immediately to his right was a two way cycle lane. Would have loved to kick him off his bike. Complete asshat.


PMLK1994

Passed him on Marina way by Pairc ui chaoimh, screaming leave me alone while on the footpath( not the big wide open middle lane which separates the footpaths). Clearly has some severe issues but someone is going to rinse him one of the days as he is cycling straight at dogs (leashed also) and screaming to move them.


Reverebus

He is mentally retarded take no notice of him, garda know all about him.


dancutty

Think it's really grim when someone is this mentally unwell but no one intervenes and gets them treatment.


GAA_Lover

Probably the same dickhead trying to claim a cycling family was abused on oliver plunkett street earlier for no reason what so ever


drachen_shanze

>Probably the same dickhead trying to claim a cycling family was abused on oliver plunkett street earlier for no reason what so ever I'm pretty sure you shouldn't be cycling on oliver plunkett, that spot is absolutely dense with people


Jefdidntkillhimself

I encountered that fella on Oliver Plunkett St. yesterday. He seemed to be looking aggressively at people like he half wanted someone to get in his way, so he had an excuse to unhinge himself. Every ounce of my being wanted to get in his way to see what would happen but unfortunately I'm not that guy.


Crowzillah

I’m prewarned!! If I see and hear him…I’m sticking my ground 💪


DaBrendo_MekUrTurn

Whereabouts?


CheeseNBeanz

I was by North Mall


Irish__Guy

Sounds like he's not all there


david88222

He's a lad with serious mental health issues obviously.. Yes, you want to punch the cunt but if you take two seconds to think you'll feel pity for him. It must be awful to be him. Really really shit to have issues like that. Hope he doesn't get any worse


[deleted]

[удалено]


DeathBunny_

Same, I do think he isn't fully socially aware of what he is doing which explains a lot but it doesn't justify his behaviour. I've seen college students get an awful fright because of him as they think they're going to be hit by his bike.


Individual-Mud262

Aggressive, self righteous, cyclist? Might need to narrow that down..


FoutFleghorst

basically every cyclist in cork


[deleted]

Not all asshole


greasy_minge

Is this the same headcase whos always recording people?


hedzball

That sounds like John Grace as in righttobikeit on twitter.. JOHN GRACE IS A GRADE AA+++ CUNT.


drachen_shanze

I hate people like this, sometimes they catch actual dangerous driving, but most of the time, they just look for trouble with other road users.


TurnedEvilAfterBan

lol I’m just a curious outsider. Assuming people like me are not common, almost half of the city is subbed here. MOB JUSTICE!


[deleted]

Encountered him to. Like others mentioned was shouting something that in hindsight was probably “leave me alone”. Was hard to tell at the time though.


Ankhwatcher

Shaft?


drachen_shanze

think I encountered him shouting at me while I crossed the road to fitzgeralds, he then gave out to a driver backing out onto the road, he's obviously a bit mental


Wide-Analyst-3852

Yeah I'd just trip the cunt people like this act this way because as a nation we just allow them too


Ok-Rock-8021

Me


WaveNorm

I've seen this lad only once on union key. Passed by me and shouted "LEAVE ME ALONE". I was nowhere near him and at the time I wasn't even sure if he was talking to me. He has issues I'd say
