Americans

mr_fegelien

Are they ruder than Irish and the rest of the world?? I always doubted this stereotype but I can say that they're definitely heard before their seen. Particularly in the summer on the LUAS, Dublin Bus, or even on the street you hear an American before you see them.

But other than that, going over there last year for 3 months, they seem as polite as us. The only difference is that there country is so large so you get many extremes, extrmely polite people and extremely rude, crazy, ignorant, people. Doesn't mean the extreme outliers are representative of the whole nation.

They are awful when you’re “down the country”.

Rolling out of tour buses in incredibly bright jackets roaring about “how QUIET it is” at some monastic site.

They aren’t so loud when complaining about the “weak flush” in the tourist centre.

Americans really are the strangest people I have ever met. Their lust for their military and police force, the fact that they’re all grotesquely overweight and racist, their propensity for oversharing and referring to somewhere by both city and state (“I live in Flint, Michigan” as opposed to just “Flint.”), Fahrenheit. I will never understand Americans.

The population of America is about 300 million ....bit silly to say they are rude/annoying/boring whatever.

You Us Eh? ! You Us Eh? !

No idea what they're on about.

Given than many American tourists come to Ireland because of their Irish ancestry, it seems a bit churlish to complain about them ..!

Found them incredibly polite to deal with and willing to go out of their way to help with anything.

Not just for tourists but also for people living there.

A lot of Americans have that "telling you straight" thing that they've inherited from German and Nordic ancestors. The Irish would usually drop dead rather than complain or risk offence.

My viking genes must be strong!

Remind me

Hearing before seeing doesn’t make them rude

Found Americans to be more false than us.

Same could be said for any country.
