Any of you hate dublin

jaffa20

I'm just sick of it to be honest. There is no more atmosphere. I hate the expense of overpriced rent for just living close to work. As soon as i have my full license, i am out of here and moving to the country. I'd rather avoid overcrowded, overpriced, over knackery dublin life. It just has become so depressing in recent years. Sorry for generalising but this is really for those who just live in dublin because they work here. If i was offered the same job in the country,i would take it like that to avoid all the hustle and bussle of the mundane and repetition of living in a never ending cycle. :P:D

Mate Dublin has changed over the years for sure, but it is still a pretty quiet and a pretty balanced city I am telling you. Try to work in London, Paris, New York etc., that's another story.

Welcome to the working class life

Went to work in Dublin for a while... horrible. People okay, but some arrogance when they see a Clare plate on the car. Come to Co. Clare, ftw!

Stop wasting my time.

Think yourself lucky , you don't live in Limerick

Just a stab in the dark , on my behalf.

Dublin is an alright place to visit, but i wouldn't want to live there.

So, i did. twice.

Honestly, i have no idea how people living there stand how horrifically crowded it gets in the mornings. I'm fully convinced the average person working in dublin would skullfuck their own mother to death if they thought it'd get them to where they are going five seconds quicker.

seanybiker

I cant stand the place. I knwo I have 2 brothers and a sister that where born and lived in dublin for a few years before moving down to waterford. I Like the dublin people, apart from the "sure if your not from dublin your a culchie" bullshít. I just dont like the place itself.
Before all the "howya's" come on and say "sure Waterfords a kip" I couldnt give a fiddlers, Im born and raised in Waterford and I dont like the place either, would much rather it though than dublin. Majority of me family and great mates are from the big smoke. Would never live there mself though.

Brothers and sister from Springfield in tallaght, looked like a nice spot last time I popped up

I suppose it is.. Bond was on earlier and he certainly spent a lot of time with cars and women. Seems like a nice life.

It's all paperwork and bollox, mate. Stay out of the spy game, that's my advice. Oh, yeah stay out of Dublin too.

Love Dublin. Best county going, and if you think it's a horrible place then that just says how bad the rest of the country must be.

I cant complain about Dublin really but i cant stand living/being stuck here. my Ma moved to Cavan, sister to England and wer doing everything we can at the moment to get out to Wicklow. but on the other hand most of my mates from Wicklow are moving into Dublin. The grass is greener and all that ye know

I hope your grasp of the Irish language is better than your grasp of the English language, being a real Irish person of course. You really demolished those few lines. Fair play!

This attitude of people moving to Dublin from other counties and giving out about us really gets on my wick. Its generalisation and laziness. Dublin is a county not just a city. I live in Dublin (outside the pale for all you ignorant 'west Brit' accusers out there) .We've a huge choice of pubs, shops etc. and Im a 5min stroll from a mountain and a 10min drive from the sea. We have places steeped in Irish History all around. If you dont like it, leave. But dont insult us and our home and then call us rude!

Mr. Frost

Live here and fcukin' hate it. Moving at the end of the summer. Really don't like that people and culture* all that much either. Everyone's so rude, especially in clubs, girls just push by and hardly ever say excuse me or anything.

*Culture being getting hammered!

Also the people you wouldn't normally have the time of day for pretending to be your best mate, I hate that! I don't even do that when I'm that hammered.

Yeah just reading that maybe I went a tad overboard! It of course has it's great points. I live in lovely part of North County Dublin, beside the beach, it's just outside of that, the people kinda get on my nerves and as I said nobody seems (none of my mates) to want to do anything but get hammered, then complain that it's rubbish, do the same over and over instead of getting a way for a weekend and actually take in what Dublin had to offer by doing things other than drinking.

Geri Boyle

If you dont like the people maybe you're living in a bad area (every county has them). If you dont like the clubs then pick another one. (We have enough of them!) If you're looking for culture there are so so many places to go. One of my favourite things about Dublin is just walking down grafton st at night time. I lived in Waterford for 4 years without insulting the people there. I wish I could say the same about them.. The attitude of some people when I said I was from Dublin was the epitome of rudeness.

No I live in a very nice area. I'm not just talking about the people around here that rude, rather I'm making a sweeping generalization! Also, I just find a lot them samey and would rather look a certain way than having their own identity. Go to the continent and you just don't really see that all that much.

I've walked down Grafton Street at night, it's not a very long street! What exactly is it about it for you, at night?

Dublin, Culture! LOLS!

Geri Boyle

I love the atmosphere. The buskers, the lights.. Especially at Christmas. Its too hard to appreciate it during the day but at night it just has a special feel to it I think. :)People are more abrupt in cities its a fact of life, and as for the 'samey' look, I have to disagree with you there. Maybe the business people all wear suits, and the teenagers follow the same trends but its like that everywhere! I just get annoyed defending Dublin to people who jump on the I hate Dublin bandwagon for the sake of it.

I'm not talking about suits. I saw a ton of muppets in clubs tonight all wearing their scarves, inside the place...c'mon.

Special feel? I think I know it, but you get that most places at Christmas.

Geri Boyle

I would guess the scarves thing is more to do with half the population having chest infections at the moment! And Grafton St is just one thing I personally love about Dublin. I also love climbing the Dublin mountains, walking the piers in DunLaoghaire, Some of our buildings are beautiful like The GPO for eg. Go to the national art and history museums, go visit guinness, go to Kilmainham gaol, collins barracks, come to my local... trad session every wed! Maybe just enjoy all the things you cant do at home.

Nah even in the middle of summer those indie/ghey types still wear their scarves with a t-shirt that sports the latest uber-cool slogan.

Geri Boyle

Who cares what they wear?! In fairness if you're that judgemental then there's gonna be no pleasing you anyway! Regardless, I wouldnt go to another county and insult it and its people and I would at least make the most of what the place had to offer before judging it.

I didn't judge. You said it was cause of a cold. I said it isn't.

I was in Paris recently and the scarf worn at all times was all the rage with the lads over there. If it's good enough for the fashionable French ..... :pac:

No because I making a point, see my previous posts.

And it's nothing to do with chest infections, if they've chest infections what are they doing out clubbing and drinking?! Besides, indoors?!

Fashionable French indeed. The people I've seen are just try hards and will wear whatever everyone elses is, hence the identity thing in my previous posts. Anway, I've been up for 23 hours so I'm hittin' the hay!

Oh and all their scarfs are identical. You know it can't be a normal one, it has to look like something from Withnail and I or that. Coincidence? I think not!

Lolz I know the emo types you refer to! Even in the summer you see them prancing around with scarves on.

OP stop whingeing about Dublin. Compared to some of the hellholes I have been to it ain't that bad.

Lived studeied and worked in Dublin - didn't get it at all tbh..found I had to seem as if I was something I wasn't just like everyone else did and that people had a lot less time and consideration for you then other cities.

I lived on the south east and worked in grafton street so maybe it was a lot to do with that.

Sitting on dart one day after work and watching all like minded people well dressed barr a smile or a look of content was for me the deciding piont to get the flock out!

Home sweet home Galway ftw

Your spot on there, I was born and lived in dublin for 20 odd years then moved to belfast, I know its not that far away, but i sure do miss dublin,

tallaght01

Unless county championships are enough to make you feel fulfilled, living anywhere in Ireland but Dublin is a waste of your life, if you're a youngster, IMO.

I'm coming home to Dublin next week, and I can't wait.

LOve the buskers. Last time I was at home I was strolling down Grafton street and some bloke was there playing a grand piano as if it was the most normal thing in the world :P
