    Can't remember which one it was but one of the Dublin radio stations where chatting to people in the queue and getting them to sound their horns either Thursday or Friday night.

    It's a new thing and a bit of a fad.
    It should die down in a few weeks. Probably made up of a lot college students.
    People are probably blowing there horns for a bit of a laugh.

    Crispy creme is inevitable after blowing your horn.

    Jesus Christ, that video. For donuts? Absolute morons. Society is beyond fcuked.

    Mr Leddy added that there are other 24/7 stores in the area that haven’t appeared to cause problems.

    “Being open 24/7 is part of the problem, I mean there are other 24/7 stores in the centre, but I’m not sure what it is with doughnuts.”

    What other 24/7 stores is he on about? There are no other 24/7 stores in the area.

    Pure stupid…

    I thought the doughtnut mania was over in Ireland, some of the chains have popped up in recent years looking to put a doughtnut shop on every street in Dublin have died out in the past year. Krispy Kreme doughnuts are nice but they aren't drive halway across the city to buy one at 2am nice.. Madness that people are actually queueing up for over an hour for them.

    If I was living above that honking happening all night the cars below would find some things being thrown down at them. Some glazed icing across their car's windshield blocking their view that they'd struggle to clean off would be some sweet karma.

    Beeping their horns, and pulling the wire.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,291 ✭✭✭✭Gatling


    So one single complaint has been made ,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,070 ✭✭✭Franz Von Peppercorn


    That footage is insane. The doughnuts are perfectly average.

    In the meantime there are kids awake and elderly being disturbed and people who just want to relax driven mad ? A few weeks of that is unacceptable and not a laugh at all

    Well petition the council to stop the establishment opening 24 hours.
    My point was when ever anything opens it's a bit of a fad and then stops.

    Much quicker and cheaper just to buy the doughnut in McDonald's.

    I don't live there , I just feel empathy with the residents . A few weeks of that level
    of noise is madness

    I suspect the complaints are from the companies marketing department.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,593 ✭✭✭Wheeliebin30


    I’m delighted the NIMBYs never seen this one coming and are now up in arms:)

    People really do love to complain about anything in this country

    maybe 1 night a bit of messing was going on but now the children can’t sleep and the elderly are dead and the ghost are up all day.....

    I very much doubt if I went any night this week near the centre would their be a bit of noise apart from the usual

    I never said I had no empathy for the residents. I feel sorry for them.
    I'd give it a short period of time to see does things improve before closing the place.
    When a new shopping center/supermarket opens for the first while it puts the local residents out either by traffic or noisy deliveries in the early hours of the morning.
    Maybe by encouragements from social media/radio stations/colleges/etc they might be able to deal with the blowing of horns/etc.

    In fairness would have been difficult to link the opening of a donut shop with that scene of utter stupidity. What sort of a defective wants to sit in a car for an hour beeping a car horn while waiting for a donut.

    Ya but you don’t need to beep your horn especially late at night. Isn’t there a law anyway you can’t beep your horn after a certain time at night till 7am. I remember reading that when studying for my driving theory test.

    Why so jumpy ? At no stage did I say you had no empathy

    Anyone simpleminded enough to queue for so long for doughnuts is simpleminded enough to find amusement in beeping the car horn at early hours of the morning while queuing. These people aren't capable of considering others and being mindful of how their actions can be effecting other people
