I'm a US citizen. I live and work in Dublin (and have for the last 6 months or so). When I'm out, people tend to ask me, 'Where are you from?' when they hear my accent. The thing is, I'm not a tourist, I came *from* my apartment, in Dublin, to get my hair cut.

But when I say I'm from Dublin - people seem to get pissed off at me. Am I wrong? What should I say?

How about, "I'm originally from the States but I'm now living in Dublin"?



For ****'s sake. Where's the problem?

[Eathrin]

You're from the US then.
How is that confusing for you?
Where you're from and where you're living are two different things y'know.

[kfallon]

Say you're from your Ma's gee

[Guill]

Kill them all, that'll learn'em.

People throwing bread out their windows, housemates using too much toilet paper and now this. The country is fu*ked.

[The King of Moo]

You have an American accent.

When people ask you where you're from, they mean which country, or more specifically, which state, as you're clearly not from Dublin.

You clearly know what they mean.

Congratulations, you've trolled this lady who was trying to make conversation with you.

This.

But leave the out the "For ****'s sake. Where's the problem?" bit if you want a good cut.

Why dont you get a Dublin accent?

At least you're not originally from Dublin and still always hear 'no like where were you born?!', people never accept Im not polish and i really couldn't look more Irish!

[shopaholic01]

This is one of the reasons we find many Americans extremely annoying.
