I have never been anything but polite with them. They don't even say hello back!!Master of Nothing wrote: »Do You have a Librocop in that library? I think every college has one
Yeah, I think there's one in the Arts library but he's not the same as the Librocop in UCD. He is proper Librocop. Has a limp and all! Puts the fear of God into you!0 -

Walkin down the road one day and seen an old man cycling towards me, noticed it was the old farmer that live a few houses away so I says "Howya Tom" as he passed by. He almost fell off the bike he turned so quickly, grinding his teeth an lookin like he wanted to kill me and roared "WHAT?".
****tin myself (I was about 12-13ish at the time) I says meek as a kitten "Just said hello". I dont know how or why but it seemed to make him angrier and he said "You keep your fukin mouth shut ya little bastard and dont fukin bother me with your bullshít". I squeaked an apology and half walked half jogged home almost in tears.
Seen him since and he's always kinda grumpy but never like he was that day, never knew what his problem was and fuked if I was gonna ask him.
Sounds like my neighbours back home :pac:
I swear most of them have some kind of mood disorder, one day they'll talk, the next they would almost drive over ya in temper.
A few weeks ago i was driving down the road at home, neighbour out moving cattle, but all the cattle were in the field, none on the road. I drove by, cautiously, and as i drove by him, i rolled down the window to say hello. I was met with a tirade of abuse, and his son standing there, mortifying.
Thankfully i moved away from rural ireland

I walked into this shop one Sunday morning and this old bint was down on her knees sticking magazines into papers. I walked in, and stood at the counter waiting patiently to be served. She continued on with the magazines and after about 3 or 4 magazines, she looked me up and down; and loudly sighed. She slowly rose to her feet, and walked around to her side of the counter with a face on her like a bull.
She stared at me, and when I stared back, she said "yes?". So I looked her up and down, wrinkled my nose and replied "I changed my mind", before turning and walking out.
Ignorant old bitch
Sounds like the Hamilton Librarians! 0 -
On a school trip to Paris for my French class, we were in Disneyland for the day. I was buying something in one of the shops and asked the man at the desk what price it was, or something like that. Next thing he starts shouting and ranting at me about how you 'speak English when you are in London, here you speak French' blah blah blah. He went on and on for ages. It was ridiculous considering I was only 14 at the time, he was speaking English himself. And also that fact that he works in Disneyland which is full of English speaking tourists
And it's meant to be a fun place, grumpy bàstard.
I think he thought I was English. Lots of security guards in shops said really racist things to the people in our group about how 'English people aren't allowed here' etc. As much as I like France, I think the stereotype of racist French people is very very true 0 -

In general I found the staff in Disneyland to be fine but the People in Paris hate the English, me and my OH had a very similar experience when we were in Paris, in one crepe shop we bought some crepes and he handed them to us and told us we couldn't eat them in there even though there were loads of people sitting in there eating.
We went to the Parc Floral de Paris and tried to sit down after buying a slice of cake and were told we couldn't even though again there were loads of people sitting there.
After that whenever we spoke to people we practically just said straight out that we were Irish and they were much friendlier.
We would just say (in French) that we were Irish and only spoke a little French but could they speak English and found we got on much better in Paris then!0 -
