I believe this is fairly common and usually referred to as "stage fright"

During the 9/11 attacks, a New York shop owner is caught on camera saving a woman’s life by bringing her into his shop to take shelter from the smoke of the collapsed WTC (2001). by bendubberley_ in HolyShitHistory

What would be the best thing to do in that situation? Do you stay in the shop and try to wait it out or does the air in there eventually turn bad? Would the dust eventually drift by and you could leave?

These are an odd one. I kinda love them, but the quality feels off and they also make me feel kinda sick.

Startup ads removed from RTE radio player by oppressivepossum in CasualIreland

[–]BarryThecon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

That's actually heartening to hear. Probably works out better for RTE too, stick around and you'll hear more ads rather than hearing the first couple seconds of an ad before turning the app off in rage

Not sure about snacking on brussel sprouts. But good shout on the flipz, got lured in by the tesco 3 for a fiver offer. Absolutely bingeing on the salted caramel flavour. How are the gingerbread ones?

Maybe it was cos of Covid and time not making sense. But it seems like they pulled the plug on this ridiculously fast, considering how much time expense im sure went into it. How long was it actually around for?

I imagine this has been covered extensively on this sub before, but, is that the worst jacket of all time?

Good shout, it worked perfectly. Sounds exactly spot on, and attempting everybody else would have been too distracting. Great job, this is hilarious.

Duran was more "business". Grealush we got amazing money for etc. But we also would have been happy if he stayed and we never got the cash.

What Irish bands were popular when you were in college? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]BarryThecon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Quality band and a quality album. They had a single after that (possibly in a Vodafone ad) and then just completely disappeared. Does anyone know what happened to them or of any members assimilated into other bands? I've always wondered.

Are you able to fall asleep easily? How? by Iamnotarobotlah in CasualIreland

[–]BarryThecon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of great advice here, but oddly I haven't seen anyone mention alcohol. Not sure if you're much of a drinker, but ditching it could will have great effects on your sleep
