    tonite, some girl said that to me. I'm not American. Its happened before but they just said I sounded American, not that they hated me. Ive also been mistake for a Polish person and also someone from London or just a 'European'.

    this was an Irish girl, she was pretty rude about it. Im not sure how someone could think Im American but whats the deal with that anyway?

    ok so it was in Copper face Jacks, my 2nd time there, just went in because eveyrone had gone home and it was on my route home. stayed for 30mins. she had what looked like a few dreadlocks in her hair, or maybe it was matted because she hasnt been washing it properly.

    anyway Im standing in the smoking section ready to go home and she puts both her hands on my shoulders and asks me for a smoke. I tell her I dont smoke, she asks someone else. anyway I try to start up a conversation because she seems to be on her own too, she said her friends had all left.

    turns out she was an asshole. I wasnt even trying to chat her up

    moved from Tallaght(when it was still fields) to Kildare when I was 12, living in Dublin again.


    I honesly wasnt being a perv, she just didnt seem to be the typical nurse/garda/bogger kind of clientele you'd expect so decided to try make conversation.

    Your posts make no sense, all i'm getting is you ended up in the smoking section of Copper Face Jacks and you lived in a field in Tallaght until you were 12 and you're not a pervert? :confused:

    There are Americans, and then there are Americans:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Girl had dreadlocks and doesnt like americans. Obvious hippy with antiwar tendencies. Hygeine would not be an issue...Except for her unwashed hair.

    I've been told i'm from Wicklow, Cork, Limerick and Galway by Irish people.

    I'm from Dublin. Some people are just tone deaf.

    How the hell does an Irish person get mistaken for being American?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,814 ✭✭✭TPD


    Irish woman in an off-license here sold our American friend drink when he was 16, and gave him her number too. Methinks she was fond of Americans.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,297 ✭✭✭Jaxxy


    Why were you in Coppers on your own?

    You were obviously looking to get your hole. Methinks dreadlocked lady just gave you a more original rejection.

    I think it's fair to say that it may also be possible that he put on a fake accent as a pulling technique.

    not every guy goes out looking to 'get his hole'

    I only went in 'for the laugh', its halfway between the pub I was in and the place I live in. my mate went home to bed and I had downed a bottle of buckfast so wasnt ready for bed yet.

    I could only last 30mins in the place, they actually played marc mc cabes maniac 2000, that was the straw that broke the camels back
