    Try as a Dub, meeting someone from Cork who refers to you as 'girl' when you are a fully grown woman & have never met someone from Cork before:pac:

    I hate when you go to a more causal restaurant in Ireland or the UK and the waiter/waitress calls you 'mate' or tells you to 'come this way folks'. It's far too relaxed for its own good, and I will often pull them up on it, or simply not leave a tip. Sir and Madam is the only way a waiter/waitress should refer to a customer.
    Does it get awkward when you call them up on it? To they often take it well?

    How do you get to be a fully grown Dublin woman without meeting someone from Cork?
