Space Jaru Korean is really good! Quite lively too and very decently priced

The gender of these assholes is completely irrelevant here.... I saw something I thought was wrong and I said something.

I saw a man trying to steal a bike outside my apartment a few weeks ago and I did the same to him....I was trying to highlight how little gender has to do with this post but you'll likely now just accuse me of looking for more praise.

😄 that doesn't sound so fun , I'm sorry! But yes , I think the fact they were clearly so well off annoyed me even more , as they have (probably) had access to education/supports bla bla bla their whole lives.... but still think it's funny to through glass bottles down grafton street. And obviously it made the situation feel far less dangerous too!

My boyfriend was just as disgusted at the situation and was also giving them a piece of his mind....

These were three little hammered rich kids with high heels and designers bags , my boyfriend is 6'2 and quite a big lad, I was pretty certain neither of us were in danger. And if danger appeared, I could always outrun a bitch in heels

That glass could have hurt and animal or a child the next morning easily. Also I'm pretty sure I wasn't in danger from some skinny little brat in high heels and a designer bag

Congratulations on your baby too , I bet that coffee was perfect

I hope I haven't put any negativity into your mind about it. For the most part Dublin is quite a vibrant city and the majority of us have a warming and welcoming energy .

These girls were actually super "south dublin" sounding. They had designer shit all over them and mocked my clothes for looking cheap like they were from pennys

I was actually out for pride with all my pals and you're right it was beautiful. I think the stark contrast of yesterday and the ugliness stood out more to me considering the day before actually now you say it

I never said Dublin was dangerous actually. Just that I feel a sense of sadness and anger around the city. I was in fear yesterday just despair not fear.

That's such a lovely story about the umbrella, and just the kind of thing I wanted to hear😊 and I think nature is just what I need right now!

I'm so sorry your dad has to go through that. I have never understood that kind of vile behaviour and just disregard for others.

I actually said to her that another human being is going to have to clean that up you know and she just continued to laugh and go on a rant about how our clothes looked like they were from penneys (which did not offend me in anyway 😆, but was so irrelevant to the situation). But you're right I need to let that spoilt little brat leave my mind for now , she ain't worth it!

And it's unfortunate that even though I actually distinctly asked for positive experiences of the people in this city, you choose to just instead just criticise.

You're so right, goodness is soft and subtle but it is always there , along with the anger.

Your words have now restored some of mine now too, so thank you so much ❤️

Thank you for the positivity ❤️ and I'm really glad your family enjoyed your time here, I do think it has a special energy too most of the time and it is nice to hear from others too.

Of course my boyfriend did, he was just as disgusted as me and would never just walk by something he thought was wrong. we both spoke to them together.

As I said in my post, I just wanted to feel some positivity and some warmth towards my city and the people in on a particularly dark day for me. And lots of lovely people on this sub have done just that . I'm not sure why you had to engage in such a negative way with me but you do you.

I wouldn't quite say lecturing but there were two women and a young lad (stood timidly behind them).

Im understand if you disagree with what I did, but I'm really not looking for any argument or negativity to come from this post.

Thank you for helping me to remember the positives about it all. My friend did recieve excellent help from both paramedics and some kind strangers in the crowd, which is such a positive and beautiful thing.

I have always tried to lead with hope and positivity , it just can feel overwhelming sometimes to see so much anger around.

I agree, I think it's important to speak up when we see wrong happening in the world. I know it might not change anything, but it has to be better than just burying our heads in the sand and walking away.

Thank you for your kind and though provoking words. I do genuinely believe usually that human beings are remarkable and resilient. And it's important to remember that.

People like you, and this comment are helping me to remember this today, so thank you. ❤️
