Don't give up your seat for a Dwarf

Frank Black · 2011-05-05 22:23:34

My wife's Dad was on the Luas yesterday and this dwarf got on. Some guy stood up to give him his seat but the dwarf went mental - was very insulted. Was this guy's 'Dwarf Ettiquite' sadly lacking or did the dwarf over-react?

Why would he need a seat? He's short, he can still stand. He was probably being a bit silly to take offense instead of just saying no thanks though to be fair.

Could've been worse, they could've offered to let the dwarf sit on their lap.

He should have just lifted him into it and patted him on the head. They love that.

If your wife's dad is Colin Farrell then the little dwarf type fellow was justified.

He should have given him a knee to the face, see if he appreciated that.

They're not all troublemakers, but going by personal experience, a lot of them are very argumentative. Knee high say more?

Unless it's an 80 year old dwarf I don't see why they'd need a seat.

Maybe the knee to the face idea is a bit extreme.

He should have stood up, walked over close to the little guy, farted, and then returned to his seat.

I met one and he was able to shapeshift. He's a dwarf most of the time, but when he gets his little head up a woman's skirt, he's a goblin.

You People are all going to hell!
The bad Hell, not the good one that has burgers and stuff. The one with the pokers - hot burny pokers.
And no kfc.
