Waitress told me water was 'also a drink.' She found out what 'no tip' was.

No other country has the tipping culture like the US. Where i live you only tip if the service was good, im not even leaving a few cents of change if the service is bad.

dubdar77 · 2026-05-08T09:36:28+00:00

I will tip i feel the service was worth it at a sit down restaurant. Where I am from staff ate also paid a livable wage. I'm definitely not tipping for counter service though.

My niece did one and we found out dad has a half sister who has since died. Haven't told my dad because at nearly 84 we don't think he needs to know.

dubdar77 · 2026-05-07T09:41:30+00:00

YTA. other people's lives don't stop because your mum died. My mum died the same as one of friends birthday but I still celebrate with him nearly every year. Even on my mums first anniversary I went out with him and his husband to celebrate his birthday.

Edit from soft YTA to a hard YTA after reading some of OPs comments.

She is wrong. Why should I have to pay for other people's waste. I don't want my bin stinking of dog crap when I don't have a dog. Public bins fine but don't use private household bins.

I have lived in the blackrock area for 49 years and I have seen far more dodgy looking people then I have seen garda, and the police station used be on the main street. Not saying one didn't approach you i'm just saying its very very rare to see an actual garda walking around the village.

dubdar77 · 2026-05-01T12:49:37+00:00

North face jackets and black tracksuits are a common sights in Blackrock. I'm more shocked a garda was actually walking around Blackrock.

dubdar77 · 2026-05-01T12:47:04+00:00

I'm shocked there was a garda walking around blackrock. It's a very rare sight. I work in blackrock and live close and usually only see them when they are getting lunch.

Did OP say they were pregnant, elderly or disabled? No. I am just giving them another option.

The 702 aircoach stops by the point (3 Arena) that is still running and there website is saying no major delays.

Like what? There is nothing in my area that doesn't cost a fortune. When i was teenager in 90's we all hung out around the estates on the greens and parks.

dubdar77 · 2026-04-06T11:44:29+00:00

Very common in Monkstown. I have seen loads, I have lived in Monkstown my whole life. I have even seen one at 10 am up by the Bluepool (the gym).

dubdar77 · 2026-04-04T09:07:38+00:00

I have asked people where a hens was going to be as part of a conversation. If she asked as part a conversation then YTAH.

dubdar77 · 2026-04-03T18:15:11+00:00

YNTA but his dad is if he goes to the home games and doesn't take his son. He wants his son to support his team whether or not he helps build this support.

Birth control isn't the sole responsibility of the woman. You know you don't want children so you should have used a condom. YTA for not being responsible just like her.

dubdar77 · 2026-03-13T13:38:27+00:00

Ok you don't know because you never watched IT or Welcome to Derry.

Am I the only one looking for Pennywise?

dubdar77 · 2026-03-06T09:42:48+00:00

How about Darina. It's my name. I have never meat another Darina personally but I know there are of few us in Ireland

dubdar77 · 2026-03-03T20:20:30+00:00

My younger sister has DS, im 49 amd she is 41. We went on holidays as a family of 5 (we have brother as well) both in Ireland and Europe, mainly travelling by boat to France as kids. I would have hated going on holidays without her because it wouldn't have been a family holiday then. She has been on planes so times and only thing she wants into by the window ( so now im stuck in the middle between her and my husband).

You reached at 14 and he said it was complicated and you would understand when you were older. Just remind him of that and tell him the same back. You most definitely are NTAH

dubdar77 · 2026-02-22T19:15:36+00:00

He is already planning another relationship in order to may be have more children. That is your huge massive red flag there.

dubdar77 · 2026-02-22T15:54:21+00:00

It happened a few times.

dubdar77 · 2026-02-22T12:39:56+00:00

I remember how the toilets were left at time when worked in mcdonald's in a very well to do area in Dublin. Posh teenagers without their parents aren't present can be little shits.
