8 things that totally baffle the rest of the country about Dublin

Dublin vs. the rest of the country.

1. In Dublin, there are places that get away with charging a small fortune for measly salads

Everyone else in the country: “€7.50 for some cous cous and black beans, is it? Well it wouldn’t be for me.”

2. While pints cost an arm and a leg compared to everywhere else

Everyone else in the country: *weeps when the barman tells you the pint is €5.70*

3. You would be regarded as a crazy person if you said ‘hello’ or ‘lovely evening’ to a stranger on the street in Dublin

- “Hello.”

- “WHAT DO YOU WANT?”

But it’s just par for the course in the rest of the country ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

4. People in Dublin go on about €800 per month studio flats being “good value”

Everyone else in the country: *spits out tea*

5. Dublin people: “Ugh, my 250 Mbps broadband cuts out on me sometimes”

Everyone else in the country: “Wow, my heart bleeds.”

6. In Dublin, there is a FULL SCALE doughnut war happening right now

“We’re going to put peanut butter and Rusks in our doughnuts.”

“Yeah, well we’re making CALPOL doughnuts, so take that.”

Meanwhile in the rest of the country…

7. In Dublin, you could well find yourself talking to someone whose grandfather was, like, Charlie Haughey’s horse’s secretary

Everyone else in the country: “Yeah, my grandad worked in a ham factory.”

8. In Dublin, the questions “Where did you go to school?” can say a lot about your social standing/socioeconomic background

Everyone else in the country: “I went to the local Mercy convent ¯\_(ツ)_/¯”
