    That is what someone said to moi today on Dame street when I asked them for the time. I just said excuse me do you have the time and the guy who seemed, by looks, normal enough just turned back to me as he was walking past and said Go fcuk yourself. :eek: By normal enough I mean they didn't look like a skanger or scumbag.

    Was kind off shocked really. Has anyone else experienced that level of rudeness or dished it out?

    This was once the land of the friendly Irish (Dublin) but have we gone all modern and lost our old oirish friendlyness?

    :( Is Dublin now London mark II


    I don't mean to be rude, but this cracked me up! Posts like these amuse me, I don't mean offence.

    I have never experienced ignorance in Dublin before, and find it quite funny when people mention their experiences. Again, not trying to be rude.

    Since moving to Galway, funnily enough I have experienced alot more ignorance than anywhere in Ireland and I have lived in quite a few different areas. One was asking a guy, on the other side of a road, literally willing to kill myself ,just to ask him a question of where the buses can be gotten from. He tried walking away, I wasn't having that. To the point he basically politely told me to 'f*ck off' :pac:

    Another time was a friend of mine , was trying to find my place in rush hour traffic, he got out of a taxi (too expensive in R/H)
    and was asking people, he asked one woman
    "Excuse me.."
    Woman: "Nooo noo" and rushed past him :pac:

    I'm rude, I laughed when he told me! - I do have this thing where, if I'm trying to gather information and somebody decides to me a c*nt to be, ie; if I was in your position, I'd have replied back with; "Well , f*ck you too :D" big cheesy smile, works wonders. :pac:

    It's because you're from Dublin.

    This thread reminds me of that great line from Road to Hell by Chris Rea. It often comes to mind when walking down a city street and seeing the somber looks on people.

    And the perverted fear of violence chokes the smile on every face.

    There are a few characters who would stop you for the time as a pretext to something dodgier. I am curious what you look like, OP!

    So Galway isn't open to a bit of criticism from somebody who moved there? Are you the Mayor of Galway or something?

    Oh heavens forbid a Dub bashing thread go off topic when people from elsewhere in the country are told a few home truths.

    I'm from Dublin.

    A scumbag asking you the time can be a prelude for a mugging/beating. I choose if I'm going to answer at all, and when asked, I physically tense up ready to fight.
    Bloody scumbags. Had my life saved by a businessman when I was 16 on this one.

    Conversation goes something like this:
    SB: Here bud have ya got the time?

    Me: Yes its 12.30.

    SB: What did you bleedin say?!
    What the **** are you looking at? Ya staaartiin'?!
    HEADBUTT. Bloody nose. Beat you for a bit, probably not rob anything, run away.

    I love Dublin.

    Just understand that there might be a reason the person responded that way. In my case I'm still polite, but I cant help thinking and preparing for the worst.

    Sad but true.
    Walking around an cathrach salach, there will be many strangers who will want to say something to you, beit a homeless guy, a skanger, a chugger, a Scientology recruitment guy or a dumb American tourist.
    It's understandable that people will have the urge to say "f*ck off" after a while and will just want to reach where they are going. It's a pity but it's understandable.

    I'm a Dub i've been to Galway a good few times myself always had good craic there there's a fair amount of clowns around after dark especially around eyre square but thats to be expected, the more people in a certain area the more likely there'll be arseholes thats how it is in Dublin, doesn't mean either are bad places it's just all about mathematics a.k.a sums.
