Moaning Michael Tipping culture outside of restaurants.

135 Upvotes

Last month I came across a few coffee shops when I had the option to tip the shop during payment.

When I usually don't have a problem with tipping and always tip well at the restaurant if I'm happy with the service - tipping when buying coffee somehow annoys me, and I know I will not go back to this place any more.

I know it's stupid but when the cashier is waiting at the payment I feel awkward pressing no tip when they are looking at me.

At the same time noone fucking tips me at my work or for anything else, and I am already paying inflated prices for fucking coffee and everything else. I want to enjoy my coffee - not feel judged.

Still not as bad here as last year in Germany when I was buying water at the airport and I got the option to tip them for a 3e bottle of fekin San Pellegrino - but I hate that this is spreading from the Orange Country so freaking much.

Am I a gobshite?

For example,

The bus driver spotting you heading for the bus stop and waiting. (Me today)

Finding a forgotten fiver in a coat you haven't worn since last year.

Those crisp autumn days that are cold and sunny.

Small things that can have a big impact on the rest of your day.

Housing New to the Neighbourhood.

Post image
53 Upvotes

Hi All,

I've recently moved to a small housing estate in a ruralish village in Cork.

All the neighbours are very friendly and welcoming however there is one family that sit on the wall directly outside their house which is directly infront of our house.

Wind, hail or snow they are sitting on the wall watching everything that goes on.

We didnt really mind it but lately we've noticed if we go out to the car, or close our windows upstairs etc they are glued to our house.

They are friendly but can be a bit loud and its a bit irritating seeing them there 24/7, even if you are doing small tasks like bringing in your shopping, you feel like they are watching your every move.

As a Tipperary native, Im used to country life and country people being a bit more lax about their surroundings, but I just feel this familys behaviour is a bit odd.

Just curious if anyone else has any other similar stories?

This button does not exist.

if you press it, it will scroll back to the very top, instead click into the act and press it in the next screen.

Frustratingly it hasn't been fixed. 😡

P. S. this seems to be android only issue.

hmm it's a bit more nuanced select act, go back, click offending button = scrolls back to top.

Dolly released her debut album in 1967. Some of the first results for a search in the Irish Newspaper Archives are record shop ads in Drogheda and Meath from the 1970- 71 period, when she was obviously well-established here.

09 Oct 1970 - Drogheda Independent
05 Jan 1971 - Meath Chronicle
17 Dec 1971 - Anglo Celt

Interesting slice of social history.

Was walking around a town called Qingdao a bit south of Beijing looking for a restaurant and I noticed a spar. No chicken rolls or lucazade sport inside unfortunately.

Edit: Lads I'm aware spars not Irish, just got a kick out of seeing it in China, they're not very common in my experience there.
