    What cringey Irish events can you think of?

    here is one that is hard to forget, the Abercrombie and Fitch opening in Dublin, people willing to wait hours in the cold for the shop to open, even though there was no special deals for doing so, then awkwardly took pictures of a girl and guy with no top on as if they were famous celebs or something.

    The video is on youtube, I cant post it because i am a new user.

    Christmas Market in Dublin.

    It's literally crappy food and junk stalls you find at festivals or any event in this country, only now with added Christmas music. And an embarrassment compared to most European capitals equivalent.

    The one at Stephens Green this year was a farce.

    The Garth Brooks concert protests on O'Connel Street last year.

    On the same day about 100 metres up the road from the Israel/Palestine demonstration.

    Oh don't be such a grinch!

    It was perfectly festive to browse that tat and have a burger or a glass of mulled wine while taking a break from Christmas shopping. Granted, the lack of crowd control was a bit of an irritation, but it's Christmas. That's what happens at Christmas. We eat sh1t and browse pure tat whilst cursing the buggy-wielders for delaying everyone.

    I've been to Christmas markets in other European capitals and I can't say Dublin's was considerably different, except perhaps I would have preferred more food options.

    Water protests (the small weekly ones)

    About 20 people slowly walking from Dame Street to O'Connell street roaring "Who's Streets? OUR STREETS" while causing traffic chaos.

    They should give them a free supply of water by getting the water canon

    Nearly a tenth of the population buying Garth Brooks tickets... and then us not having the concerts.
    An Irish reporter telling an international press conference that the entire country was distraught at the cancellation.

    Though it being cancelled was probably for the best in retrospect. People would probably be sill wearing cowboy hats and doing line dancing classes if it had been let continue. Lord knows the state we would be in.

    Celebrating failure like 1916 which was a defeat, and led to the partition of the island which led to thousands dead, both with a civil war and the troubles.
    Yet it will be commemorated as something that was good.

    It is going to be very cringy, next Spring...

    At ireland internationals in Soccer and Rugby. The president has to shake hands with both teams. Such a waste of time and unnecessary. Get on with the game.
