    That happens in every city.

    I'll accept if I'm wrong but I've never seen it happen in any other city I've been in, and would never be considered normal there.

    You see it all the time on the Quays in Dublin (and it's not just junkies doing it but "regular" folk on a typical Irish session) but if I tried it in Times Square I'd probably be deported.

    Pre-apologies

    Everyone says "Sorrry" before they bump in to, elbow, push, kick or start shouting at you or spill your pint.

    That makes it all right:rolleyes:

    Saw a good one when I was in Dublin a few years ago. Myself and my brother were walking back from the public park in fairview after eating lucnh and we were heading for Croker. As we headed back towards the path we saw two cyclists passing. Now there is a bicycle lane, but it seems motorists use it to dump there cars there, or certainly on a weekend.

    So they passed each other on the footpath going slowly. One lad clips the the back of the other lads wheel accidentaly. There is a pause. The guy who clipped the wheel looks back, then the other guy looks back. He then looks forward again, and then, in what was the biggest over-reaction I have ever seen from anyone shouts 'You're a f*ckin' eejit' in his authentic Dublin accent at the other guy.

    The brother and I had a good laugh over that.

    "Sorry", in that case, probably means "Excuse Me", or "MOVE" - And then when you wont move, they try to slightly push/nudge you out of the way to get passed you, and then when you still wont move, you complain they bumped into you.

    You plead with your boss to just ' let you go' because although its really nice to be working again after a couple of years on the dole, the 30k a year your paying me makes me financially worse off than when I was drawing the dole (mortgage,2 kids, wife doesn't work etc)

    This its the predicament a friend of mine is in at the moment.

    The margin between dole and employment in this country is a fücking laugh!

    They always tell you why you failed your test. Where did you get that from? It's an urban myth that people who are too embarrassed to tell you why they failed say.
