    Sitting in college waiting for the lecturer. A girl from the heart of Dublin (no issue with that in the slightest, just setting the scene) starts going on about how "me f*ckin' phone broke". She's going on an on about how she spent "two fiddy" on it and "it should last more dan two months like" on and on she goes, I'm not really listening but next thing "I mean I dropped in a tin of paint but f*****ck it should last more than 2 f*ckin months no matter wha like ya know...???"

    Sorry, rewind... She dropped in a tin of paint and expects it to work perfectly??? WTF!!!!!

    Is expecting good spelling too much? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,611 ✭✭✭✭Sam Vimes


    In answer to your question: I don't think there is any correlation between expecting too much and living within the pale

    the important word there is 'girl'.

    awaits backlash!

    My phone can withstand being dropped in paint?

    Can't yours?




    Actually on closer examination, this appears to be a walkman. And it's now stopped working.

    Yeah all Dubs are the same. We all behave like that. Tell me this- are all people not from Dublin incapable of creating a coherent post?

    Enough is enough.

    It's time to shut down colleges and set them all to work clearing out leaves, tampons, and supermarket trolleys from the Liffey.

    If you've no issue with it, why do you include it? What difference does it make, where she's from? She could have been from Kathmandu, but it doesn't make a difference. She's just an annoying cow by the sound of things.

    Most Dubs expect f*** all in my opinion, they seem happy to live in their own s***.

    You obviously have little clue what you're talking about.

    Walkman, wtf? If we have somehow made contact with the year 1987 please do us all a favour and assassinate a banker named Seanie Fitzpatrick, all our futures depends on it, good luck and good hunting.

    I've dropped two phones in tins/buckets of paint over the years. Oh and an mp3 player. They all still worked after they were cleaned and left to dry.
    It's these smartphones taht are just too fragile for that sort of abuse. If I spent 250 on a phone it wouldn't even be in work with me nevermind lurking near a tin of paint. WHat any of that has to do with being from Dublin escapes me though...

    OP, I tried reading your post 3 times, havn't a clue what your on about!

    Your friend dropped your phone in paint? are you on an art course?

    You quoted the part of my post that explained why I included it. I was just setting the scene.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,918 ✭✭✭The_B_Man


    You called this thread "Do DUBS expect too much?".

    Surely that contradicts any denial you've posted in this thread about "not having an issue"!


    Thats like saying "I'm not racist, but..."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭Geansai Rua


    I think I am going to make a video about my class..
    The class is full of Dubs, and then me and another guy that aren't.
    Our class is held back on a daily basis by idiots asking ridiculous questions!

    In a sample of over 30 people in my class from Dublin, at least 25 of them should go back to primary school to learn abc's, count etc.
    The statistics dont lie!!;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,740 ✭✭✭Asphyxia


    You do get some unbelievable people your way and I do agree that she was being ridiculous, but I don't see why her being from Dublin has anything to do with it. There's a lot of other girls around the country who would probably act the same and to base it on one county is stupid.

    Some Dublin accents, and I stress some, can drive me up the wall. I think the OP had his good sense warped by a whooper of an accent.
