    Yep, don't scare people like that just because you can't be bothered carrying a time-telling device with you.
    He went a bit far telling you to go fck yourself though, the proper response is always "Time you got a watch"... or do what I do and pretend he doesn't see or hear you.

    Ye. Sorry about that. But you scared me. Nobody connects eyes in the city centre.

    *shudders*

    Btw. It was a quarter to two.
    Has anyone else experienced that level of rudeness or dished it out?

    Dished it. Too much filth around to be a friendly anymore.

    This reminds me of a day I left my mobile phone in the car, and asked a guy on the street , if I could use his for a minute ..............and he told me he did'nt have one on him....next thing is .. his mobile phone rings !

    Next I asked a security guard outside large store .......He said '' what would I be doing with a mobile phone '' ..............I could actually see the phone in his pocket !

    This was in Waterford ...by the way

    Was in Belfast with my girlfriend recently, we were walking through a shopping centre on the saturday night and I asked the two very big and burly security guys the best place to get a taxi (as we were clueless and needed to get across town).

    One of the guys took out his own mobile phone, asked where we were headed, called a taxi firm, told them where to collect us and where we were headed and then pointed us to the collection spot.

    Couldn't have been nicer and we both remarked, haven got lost a few times and needed pointing in the right direction, just how friendly people up there were. Even just in general. As for the OP, that's a very generalised statement about Dublin based on one eejit.

    That's nearly as bad as the time I got onto the DART and suddenly realised that I'd left my phone on a bench at the station.

    Realising that my only hope was to ring it and maybe get it handed it.

    I over-reacted (as I do).
    I sprinted down the carriage to the first bloke I saw and shouted "quick give us your phone".

    The guy started screaming his head off, shouting for "HELP".

    In my haste I'd failed to notice the white stick between his legs,
    the poor chap.

    On the plus side, I got my phone back.

    This was once the land of the friendly Irish (Dublin) but have we gone all modern and lost our old oirish friendlyness?

    IMO I don't think Ireland is as friendly as it used to be anymore. I live in a smallish town in the midlands and years ago you would be in and out of the neighbours houses and vice versa, today I don't even know my neighbours names, we say an odd hello and thats it. It's not just Dublin, the whole country has changed.

    In fairness though, I would never give anyone a loan of my mobile phone!!

    :( Is Dublin now London mark II

    They even come to your house.

    I was (and still am - 1 left) giving away free 2 21inch monitors.
    Advertised them on an Irish recycle site during the week. Described them very well.
    Chap contacted me then to say he wanted one.
    "Fair enough, its yours for the taking".
    He turned up at the house two days ago. We went to the shed to get one and when I broke my back lifting the damn thing - he took a look at it, turned to me and said "Sod that - I don't want it" and turned and marched off without saying "hello, good bye, sod you or thanks but no thanks..."
    Nothing! He just went through my sidegate and buggered off. Leaving me and the wife standing there open mouthed with shock looking at each other!

    If that wasn't bad enough, he then later went to the free site and gave out that he had spent 20 quid on petrol for a wasted journey on a monitor he didn't want!!! WTF - You'd swear I was to blame for him taking a huff!

    (I had even provided him with the picture of the monitor before he came. Ya can't win!)

    I was going to take the monitor if you're missus bent over to pick it up but when I saw the crack of dawn from your jeans I said boll0cks to that!

    Technically, three forty seven is not a quarter to four.

    Just sit back for a second and ask yourself, if you REALLY needed to know the time or contact someone in an emergency and you had no phone and there isn't a pay phone in sight what would you do ? Really ?
