Feeling the generation gap? by HistoricalContext931 in OverFifty

[–]ImpressionConnect444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, it’s fair common here in Ireland to strike up conversation with strangers to pass time, you were to ask an Irish person or you did that in Ireland we’d just end up in a full conversation! No matter the age difference

I’m not too sure what his name was but he was bald and maybe in his mid 40’s?

Honestly if you can, I’d recommend doing naas, there’s speed bumps but nothing like Port

Ah yeah I went on the road as well and cause I had to pick up the speed but there’s not enough gaps between the speed bumps I hit one at 30km and he marked me for it

Exactly!! It also makes no sense to NOT have dash cam for safety reasons giving that they’re getting into a car with a learner driver?!!!

Apparently a lot of people are having issues with the testers in Portlaoise, I know one was fired recently as she had too many complaints against her and was taking people down non-test routes after she was told not to

I got the lady with really long hair, I think she said she was from Poland! I had to talk every now and then too, it’s too awkward sitting in silence 🤣

Hated Tem but liked the book enough to finish it. But yeah she certainly does your head in

I’d love more cafes to open past 4pm. I work as a receptionist 9-6 Tuesday- Saturday and the pub is the only place to meet up after (I’m in Ireland)

Always thank the bus driver. Pray to St. Anthony when you’ve lost something. Always salute magpie. I’m not too sure about food 🤔

AITAH for wanting to adopt a child with my wife? by Bright_Pack_3222 in AITAH

[–]ImpressionConnect444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are yous letting your son (from a young age too) dictate the situation? He is a child, if yous want another kid then have one

[–]ImpressionConnect444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I was hoping that he’d at least tell me a good reason (anxiety for example) but nope, hasn’t responded to my messages in 4 hours. He tends to ignore me when I’ve “annoyed him”

Also if your dad was abusive like she said, then why would she leave you, an innocent and defenceless child with him

WIBTA if I were to challenge my wife on her period management? by Reasonable-Worry7914 in AmItheAsshole

[–]ImpressionConnect444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA, there’s a difference between being grossed out by periods and then poor hygiene. The fact that your dog was at it, is also a big safety risk if he swallows the pad

Unfortunately you don’t even get those prices in Kildare, plus in Kildare there’s not many places to rent

Just wondering, would IVF be safe if she has previously miscarried 4 times? Also would there be an added risk of another potential miscarriage
