A lad had his hands down his trackies, then went to hand me his card
I refused to take it and just held the scanner and scowled at him.
I was assuming he was a local, as it's a known phenomenon - but generally only with local scallies and not your average scouse bloke or student.
BUT HE WAS SOUTHERN! Now I'm not using this to say "See, Southerners are dirty too." because I don;t want to get into all that, and besides, I've never seen it happen anywhere but here. I can only assume he's either learnt this behaviour, or it was a contrived effort to fit in with the locals, the lowest locals of all, because decent men don't do it.
Walking around with your hand on your bare knob then going to hand me money? Fuck off.

*shudders*
Do people actually do that? I've seen scallies/chavs/knuckle-draggers walking round openly cupping themselves, but at least their hands were outside their PE kit. Who decided it was a good look to walk around with your hand in your pants? Is it suddenly fashionable to give the appearance of openly masturbating in public?
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:47, Reply)

it's not sudden in Liverpool, but I must stress that it is really only stinky scallies
Sometimes you see them having a surreptitious sniff afterwards. They really fiddle down there.

*facepalms, but at least he knows where said hand has been*
WHY? What, in the name of all that is sacred and profane, do they think that does for other people's perception of them?
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:52, Reply)

They don't care, do they.
Their peers are usually next to them doing the same.
So when your mate is passing you a ciggy, you're touching flakes of his knob, you gayer.

Fools.
Don't they realise GAY is contagious?

Edit: 'Flakes' is probably the right word. If that article's to be believed then they aren't washing enough and so they probably have pubic dandruff.
(LongJohnBaldry, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 11:55, Reply)

Pubic dandruff would be the cleanest thing down there
I'd be more concerned about cheesey smegma flakes, if I were you.

You say it though I were likely to go near their genitalia
I can assure you I attract a much cleaner clientele on Clapham Common. And if there is any doubt I at least make them wipe it on the grass.

But it doesn't explain why this otherwise normal student boy 'not from round ere' was doing it.
i'm genuinely puzzled.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 12 Jan 2011, 12:02, Reply)

How Southern was he?
We have plenty of PE-kit-wearing chavs round these parts gripping their...erm...parts. If he sounded like a Popped-Collar-Rupert then that would be far harder to understand.

He had Generic Southern Student Accent (TM)

See, that can vary a lot as well
Is that Generic Southern Laahndan Student Accent or Generic Southern 'Gap Yah' Student Accent?

No doubt, the richest end of Essex
in which people tend to be quite well spoken, but feel the need to disguise this by speaking like Jamie 'Ooh what a fucking big tongue I've got' Oliver.

I realise I'm coming across as a dreadful snob here, but when they put it on like that it just looks so fucking pretentious.

He could at least have the decency to admit he sounds a bit West Country and have done with it.

He's lived up North for 17 years.
I think he worked in London for a few months once.

WHY do people do this?
Are they worried it's going to fall off? Does it comfort them? Are they worried about leg-crossing abrasions?

I don't understand. I am comfortable enough in having a nob that I don't feel the need to fucking cradle it.

So 'hand down trousers' is unacceptable,
but getting your micropenis out in public - so that it could be seen by someone in the bushes - is OK?

You sicken me.

Listen.
If I want to walk around with my admittedly tiny penis out in public, that is a matter between me and the Police.

Simply because a man walks around with his nob out is not sufficient justification for you to hide in bushes and watch, you utter pervert.
