When you know you gotta see the world a bit more!

@Drosophila and that he'll only take euros

@hereandthere yes! it's annoying when you have to explain the Republic of Ireland is its own country! Part of EU, takes Euros.. Its not part of UK, no pounds or anything else is accepted here.

lol ya the poor dude! I guess he's gonna have to explain to her Dublin is the end stop.

lol.. yes, she'll probably still insist it's pronounced Dubai xD I actually wish I could hear her chat with the bus driver

@just4him Indeed! and I bet she'd try something like paying with her credit card to lol..

@Drosophila Now that would be interesting.

@Drosophila Many from our country are ignorant. If she was carrying pound then she is ignorant about "Dublin" and "Dubai" was not the intended destination. I have a vague suspicion she belonged to my country.

@vandana7 lol! she was caucasian with an odd accent

hahaha yes.. I think so too! though am not sure you can spend pound in Dubai either

@Drosophila Well, omelets or scrambled eggs are my favorite breakfasts. I usually like to be helpful, but eggs get cold too fast! I am not a fan of cold eggs on my best day! I've been ask if I know how far it is to Monet (as in the painter) instead of Monett, the town 12 miles to the west of my hometown before... Yeah, she made the mistake of interrupting my omelet, too.... I told her if she was looking for the artist's grave, then she was a on the wrong continent. She looked at me like I was the simpleton... then ask, "Grave? I want the town." To which I replied, "Oh, you must mean Monett... that's 12 miles on Highway 60 West." At least she had the good graces to thank me for the directions, and started to walk away.... Then turned back to me and ask how did she find Highway 60 West.... I pointed out the window beside me and told her to try the Highway right there, with the sign that showed Highway 60 West. She blushed almost purple before turning tail and almost running to her car! Later, I drove to Monett just to make sure the 12 miles of straight stretch highway hadn't confused her any worse! I was being polite, right?! Idiots! They come in every shape and size! I've wondered why they always seem to choose to ask me instead of one of the people eating sandwiches or something else cold to start with? SMH!

@ChesneyM I do not come onto myLot until after I have eaten something. As I said, I can be a touch uhm... rough if I don't have something to eat... Usually, I am friendly even before I eat, but I have never suffered fools gladly. (I do my best to abstain from calling them fools, and I do know that even the best people among us can have one of those moments............ but bother me while I am eating eggs..... well, how can that be counted against me?) I wish we had an emoji that had puppydog eyes, a halo and little hands clasp together... It could also have a tiny pair of horns growing from its temples holding the little halo up... Yeah, that would be an emoji I could use more than I use even the raspberry guy emoji!

HAHAHAHA... ya, I don't like it when someone interrupts my wolfing down process either lol

Indeed, also got a lot of people mispronouncing "The Quay's"... .

@Drosophila How do they say it? Kays? or Qways? but not Keys.

@boiboing Qways is the most often.. never Keys

Indeed, you are a pro though.. am sure you've been to both Dublin and Dubai..lots

@DianneN Oh how come?

@Drosophila Dublin, but not Dubai. My husband refuses to ever go there.

@Drosophila I think so.

Yes, I did think it was odd that she was trying to tell me that Dublin is really called Dubai.. She had an odd accent, not sure where from. And she wondered if she could use "pound" in Ireland. After the little exchange, I didn't feel like I wanted to explain how the Republic of Ireland is their own country. We are not part of UK. And if she continues to assume as such, she will just piss off the locals.

@annierose I wish I could have heard the chat with the bus driver

@Drosophila Yeah lmao followed by a swift kick

@suzybear indeed.. rinse it :D

lol.. yas, or charge her for the fare to "Dubai" :D hahahaha

I was too shocked to laugh lol.. It was like from a movie script

Very wrong end.. its a bit like looking for Austria in Australia!

@Drosophila That is very funny!

I agree! when you don't have the right map... no wonder she couldn't find "Dubai" on her map

@Drosophila i did think of that yesterday, that maybe it's one of those hidden camera shows

Yep, you know you hear these stories of dumb tourist... Then you come across one.. and its like "am I being punked?"

@hereandthere No, unfortunately, that girl really is not that dialled in...

HAHAHA!!! yes..but she'd have to get to the "KEYS" first, not "Qways"...

Indeed! I didn't have the heart to tell her Republic of Ireland is not actually part of UK. And she will only piss the local off, if she insisted it is. :D
