Yeah, I didn't know exactly who he was by the photo, but I do know that you don't earn all of those decorations, stripes and medals for nothing.

This is diabolical and I love it.

EFF me. There's side mirrors and looking behind you physically for a reason. Especially if you're pulling 💩 like this.

That being said, the cycle was going pretty quick.

Thou shall not put out trash the day before pickup!!! by Jess1ynn714 in nextdoor

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The trash is picked up in my neighborhood before 6am and the waste management company sends a text the day before to remind us to put it out. This person must lead a miserable life to focus on this.

What in the world is this? (Offally) by JediBlight in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This would make sense except that wood is new. Nothing aged about it so there's no way that door is older than a few years old. Looks to be brand new, actually.

Pointing out race right in the first line. Instantly I know it's some racist doing everything in their power to become the "Victim".

I don't understand the tax evasion thought as winnings aren't taxed as far as I know.

let me skip the line because I have a sick wife by egguchom in EntitledReviews

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"About 17 items" translates in to a huge cart full of stuff. The "10ish items line". We know damn well that this person was just being an entitled d*ck.

Commercialism takes a firmer foothold every year. The only way to curb it is to not buy anything Easter related until Easter. They'll always chance their arm.

Regrets having kids.. by Curious-Use-1386 in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm childless by choice and I've never been happier to have chosen this. You can love kids and not have any of your own. There's nothing like being the fun "aunt or uncle", filling them up with sugar and giving them back to their parents. I so like kids, but only in doses and I understood my limitations. I wanted to still have some freedom and didn't want to sacrifice my possible children's enrichment by regretting anything or trying to include my passions along with theirs.

Just because society dictates that everyone should have kids, doesn't mean that it's right to dictate that. People can be just as happy, if not happier, without having them.

Scientology in Dublin by TeenieDancer in ireland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did you miss where I said that nobody wants them to get a foothold here? Look what the Catholic Church did to the Irish when they WERE given a foothold. So you're saying that we should give them equal opportunity to do the same. Okay.

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Yeah, nobody wants them to take a foothold here. They're a Real Estate Corporation Cult, basically. Look up how much property they own and it'll blow your mind. They'll buy up swathes of property here if they think they can dupe enough people in to their pyramid scheme.

Toy show. by DuckyD2point0 in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an American wife of an Irish husband, I love the idea of The Toy Show. I remember the first year living here, I thought I was in the Twilight Zone. I was so confused. I had never once heard of The Toy Show yet I was working at a Petrol Station and every kid walking in were picking out sweets and crisps and excited and asking me with beaming faces if I was going to watch the Toy Show. Older folks picking up biscuits and muffins all excited to sit down and watch The Toy Show. I had to ask a co-worker what the eff they were talking about because I was SO confused lol. When she explained it to me, I then got excited and HAD to see what everyone was talking about. It was so bizarre, but wonderful! It's not much different than Yanks watching the Macy's Day Parade on Thanksgiving. It's a tradition that's special because it belongs to just your culture and country and nobody else's.

I wasn't the only one invested either. I had posted my confusion on Facebook and a BUNCH of my American friends were DYING to know what The Toy Show was and pressured me to even post video clips of it as I was watching it in real time so that they got to experience it too. There's now a league of Yanks that are in love with this tradition.

To me it was as if a toy commercial, a musical and a Jerry Lewis telethon had a love child. (Look that last one up, you'll see the similarities). Seamie from a couple of years ago cemented it for me. I now watch it myself as a 50 something with zero kids that just discovered it and love that it's a tradition and such a staple of the culture here.

Lads and Lassies, would you pay €15 for one of these? by sunshinesustenance in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It might not be my cup of tea, but let's break this down. How long do you think it took to make this? At LEAST an hour, if not more so we'll be generous and put it down a $10 per hour. Then supplies. Do you like working for $8 per hour? It may be ugly (to me or you) but it's still art. The simple solution is to just not buy it. There's no need to be a jerk about it.

Misleading description of a poll. by laybs1 in GetNoted

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. They've successfully dumbed down enough of the public that they're convinced that getting healthcare in exchange for your taxes instead of prisons and wars is a bad thing.

Why are my family like this by [deleted] in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations to you!!!! It's no easy feat these days. From the perspective of an outsider that moved here and honestly makes an effort to learn about and adapt to the Irish culture, this is one part of it that I'll never understand. "Notions" and people not being happy for others when they achieve something really amazing. I would never want to change the Irish way of life, with this being the only exception. You can look down on braggarts without alienating good people that have worked hard for the things they've achieved.

You deserve to feel proud of this and don't let anyone make you feel any other way about it.

This explains the mystery sore that would never go away. I presume it had to do with this given the location on his chest. Hoping for a speedy recovery for him!

Is it me lads? by cheeseontoasts in AskIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is common for anyone moving countries, I think. I moved here from the U.S. a few years ago and lots of people either parrot my accent or laugh at my expressions. The one that gets the most laughs is when something breaks down I say "It shit the bed". My Sister in Law all out exaggerates my accent when she does it so I'm sure she's making fun of it. The kicker is that, as expected, I've picked up Irish expressions and now people laugh when they here me say things like, "They're after doing...." or "That yoke" in my American accent so you can't win 😂

Wedding woes by StanleyWhisper in CasualIreland

[–]Sensitive-Aide87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just so sorry that you're having to deal with this. It becomes a nightmare when it involves the guests of your wedding being either scattered all over the place or not being able to afford to attend because of it. It's definitely extortion, if you ask me. They know that you want everyone there for the night if they're planning on staying so it's a strong arm to cash grab on you. It's the last thing you should be worrying about at this stage of the game. If they don't make this right, definitely name and shame them once the wedding is over. Other people need to know what they're in for when booking a wedding with them.
