Irish Drunkin Dickheads

Hephaestus

So I'm out with a few mates tonight having a few pints in an Irish bar we frequent.

I'm washing my hands after having a slash when a fella from Dublin starts accusing me of throwing bog roll over the cubicle in which he is having a slash.

He wont take my word for it that I didn't throw bog roll over the cubicle & decides to create a huge scene in the middle of the bar which creates much embarrassment on my behalf as I Know many of the people in the bar.

It gets to the point where I tell him to either funk off or take it outside & he backs down & disappears.

So me & my mates (who are well travelled) start discussing, what is it about Irish fella's in particular that we seem so insecure that we tend to start Drunkin fights for no particular reason. I've never had any sh!te to deal with on my travels from a person from another country but I have had 1 or 2 incidents with fellow Irish men.

So what's the story lads?

But are you guilty of said offence?

Poor Uncle Tom

You shouldn't have thrown the bog roll......

Never really had any problems, in fact usually it's the opposite. Was happy to run into a group of lads from Tallaght when some big Swedish bummer was getting agro in the 5 story nightclub in Prague. They resolved the situation pretty quickly

He's clearly insecure if he was taking a slash in the cubicle....

I find the Irish are more likely to resolve it. Calm down and see it as a joke, laugh it off.

Were, say the English are more notable for escalating the situation.

Yeah, what the hell is with lads who, even if a whole row of urinals are free, still go into the cubicle and loudly lock the door behind em. I have a friend who always does this. He did grow up with 6 sisters and no brothers. I think hes fúckin scarred!

Its all a macho bravado bull**** culture we have - to be honest I blame drink, mankinds great poison (Though a lovely poison it is too) We're not alone though. Get back to me if ever you are unfortunate enough to get into a confrontation in a London pub.

Well travelled but still in the wrong place at the wrong time..

moral of the story - stay at home

Avoid Irish bars.

Never ever blame the drink. I love drink, come 4 o'Clock today and I will be in the pub, and by 7 I will be throwing bog rolls over cubicle doors.

I was in a pub toilet last saturday night at the urinals when this gulpin came in... stood up at the urinal flung open the belt, loud fart, loud burp, big sigh, takin up far too much space and then started slashing perpendicular to the metal urinal.

Piss splashed back of the urinal on to my trousers :mad: - whats with this big extra macho show.

All this macho, i'm not insecure rubbish you see from time to time in mens toilets.

Cubicle is a much better idea if you don't want to stink of someone elses urine

Murphyt

I would use the cubicle myself if it was free, urinals can be a bit manky, also it comes down to the shake or whipe debate.

kippy

Some clown threw bog roll over a cubicle at him. He was pished.....and picked on the nearest option. I can see why he was annoyed.

Irish people drink a lot, thats the problem. Also, we tend not to take crap from anyone.

Also, being well traveled does not give anyone a better understanding of anything, apart from airports.
Also, and this really pisses me off about all these "well traveled people".
What the fcuk were you doing in an Irish bar.
If drunk Irish people annoy you so much when abroad, I would think avoiding Irish Bars is the first thing you well traveled people should do.

tman

So you were ready to start a fight with him over a simple misunderstanding, but HE is the drunken dickhead?

InKonspikuou2

You must not be that well traveled if Irish lads are topping the list for people starting fights. Never come across israeli's or english lads no?

Well like, he was being unreasonably heckled by the guy from the bathroom across the floor back to his mates. The drunken buffoon would not listen to his explanation so to shake this parasite off what other option is there?

Why is it every night without fail ,in the mens toilets there is always some asshole who comes in and says

"So? is this where were all the big knobs hang out?"

Northern Europeans are all f**kin nutjobs with drink. Fact. Genetics and the long winters.
Irish, English, Scandinavians, Germans, Dutch. We're all the same lads. Swedes I've noticed in particular when I was there, all ages, just go insane with drink.

Italy, Spain, Portugal and France just dont seem to have the same drinking mentality as we do. Much more civilised, although the pubs are boring:D

So did you throw the bog roll or what?

He could have tried, I dunno, not trying to start a fight?

Only thing confusing to me is why people are twisting the OP's words.

There was a threat that this little incident was going to elevate itself to a brawl in the toilet, the OP obviously felt this threat and offered to take things outside - good call IMO.

Well done OP, I'd have taken the same course of action myself in the hope that it defuses the situation, this time your bluff worked. Good call again.

As regards Irish people being dickheads when drunk, in my experience that goes across the board and know's no boundaries or borders.

But if I was to put it down to experience I'd say sharing first spot for trouble, drunk or sober are the Spanish or Italians.

Followed closely (in recent years) by Russians, Poles, Lithuanians etc - if you get trouble from these its gonna be serious (the Spanish & Italians are saps by comparision).

Way down the league would be the English & Irish, and in over 15yrs doing door work I can't remember one incident with an American.

The general discourse that reverberates from the drunken Gallic individual personifies the undercurrent lack of present day external moralistic action mechanism's that is conducive to the mental well-being of the said agreevied mortal.
With such an absence to bring forth and exhaust one naturalist awarded ability and possible aggressive tendencies, the onset of the application of destructive intoxication is further conducive to the ill timed and probably inappropriate natural action to wrongly seen confrontation.

To be honest I'd prefer a punch to reading that.

I don't know!! I am fairly well traveled, but unlike the OP I don't usually go to Irish bars. In a different country, different laws, different cops, dodgy hospitals, different cultures. You just don't know what's going to happen. Some of the places I have been, you just don't want to end up in prison or hospital or paying massive bribes. Happened to a guy I met in Na Trang over a row in a pub. I tend to avoid all confrontation, keep the head down, get out of the spot.

Rented Mule

Love the generalisation OP.

As a barman of many years in several Irish owned and operated pubs/bars and taverns in Chicago, I have found that there as many 'Irish' drunken dickheads as any other nationality, including American, Canadian, Polish, Irish, Mexican etc........

You tend to see the 'pack mentality' more than anything else with the said 'dickheads'. Very rarely will you see the 'lone wolf' dickhead' unless he there is something else going on beneath the surface.

Some people just know when they could use a good ass whoopin' and they tend to go out and look for it.

Tusky

In future, tidy up after yourself when you use a public toilet.

...but can ye not agree to look and see that the notion that a current lack of aggressive outlets and inducive movements can lead to a negative outcome?
The proposition that as early man was pre-existing as the hunter/gatherer and even based at genetic level, that part aggressive pre-condition might still be present and need external outlets in the present day?
Further more, it might be advantageous to assume this could be a primordial reason for many actions of Cro-magnon man and his further offspring, to bring about the advance of warring tendencies and the indulgency to exhaust such abilities?

Just wondering, its just a simple thought?

I would agree with the sentiment of your post esp. in terms of the '8 circuit theory of human consciousness' as devised by Timothy Leary and best expounded upon by Robert Anton Wilson in 'Prometheus Rising'.
This type of behaviour falls in with the 2nd circuit ,the 'anal-emotional-territorial circuit',part of our primitive evolution,which we develop as toddlers and a trigger for which is alcohol.

I agree, It was the disturbing repressed seething anger at our historically oppressed nation. Four fifths of a millenium of stiffled education, freedom of choice or will and attempted stunted mass emotional growth. And the notion of 1 in 4 that caused the OP to launch a roll of arse wipe over a partition at a fellow countryman. :rolleyes:

The type of phrasing which if used in a pub can cause you to get battered.

Look horse, throwing a bog roll over the cube door when someone was taking a piss is ghey man.

If you want to annoy some gimp in the cube and you are a bit "toasted" yourself all you do is bring in your glass, take a piss in it and hammer it off the ceiling over the cube door.

Out and halfway through your next drink before the "cubee" recovers..:cool:
