    Twitter screenshots and a tumblr user celebrating that people get made fun of for trying to be a little fashionable. This kinda sucks …

      Don’t ever be around Irish people, dude. With that attitude you’ll have a bad time.

      It’s almost always done in a friendly way. The Irish just can’t stand someone putting on airs and will take them down a peg for any reason presented but it’s rarely malicious.

        Yeah all of those are definitely ones to be laughed along with, not stabs. I’ve been the recipient of a few bangers like that in my time and honestly really enjoy them.

        I’d say the spaceship one in front of a crowded room of students stung a bit though even if the recipient was able to laugh along.

        If I went to Ireland and they started giving me trash about my style, I would not know how to respond, but I’m sure I’d be laughing the entire time lmao

          I too have them, believe me. I‘m working on it. The crazy thing is: nothing ever happens. If someone calls out my balding hair, literally nothing happens. No laugh track, no bill, no meteorite. Just hit back or ignore it if they want to be mean.

        I used to be really into mutual ribbing-based humor. What I learned was that it’s pretty fun, until you misjudge the situation. IMO it’s not worth it overall.

          Saying sorry and meaning it, and never repeating what you did gets you out of that sorta situations gracefully.

              I was taught as kid that what I have to is to say (and be) sorry. What the other person does is not my responsibility. Some people can’t take apology and there’s not much you can or should do about it

          Then just talk about it. Set boundaries. My friends and I are relentless but have topics and boundaries which are taboo. Just grow together.

            Do you think the people in these twitter screenshots all talked about boundaries before talking shit about people they don’t know?

              Keep clutching your pearls. Or just let it be a little dumb but altogether funny experience from some irish blokes.

              I mean it’s Ireland, the boundaries are the borders of the country. If you live there and you dislike banter it’s on you.
