I don't mind the Irish thing to be fair, but the boasting thing is really strawberry floating weird to me.

Do you not get billed for tap water in Ireland?


How do I answer this without boasting? :dread:


Did you honestly have no idea that other countries might have to pay for tap water?


I didn't think so cos we don't. Why did you ask me the question, this is some admiral ackbar 'its a trap' nonsense!


I just find it weird that you'd be confused by other countries paying for tap water.

Especially when Ireland had water charges just a few years ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-39594886

You say the boasting thing is weird to you, but you are the one who brought it up as a response to a perfectly innocent question.

The whole conversation was weird, firstly that you'd be confused by the idea of water charges. Secondly because Ireland had water charges just a few years before.

But the weirdest thing is how angry you still appear to be about it.

I hate the Irish. Bunch of potato strawberry floaters.

Seriously though, being called a potato strawberry floater by an English dude in my first phone job was probably the highpoint of my career. Made me laugh at the time, still makes me laugh.

You’re mistaking anger for confusion and concern about your mental health. Hope all is ok man, you don’t seem to be the same person these days.

Really? Aww that's so sweet. Is that why you told me to strawberry float off? And why you brought it up again today, while saying it was "wild"?

My mental health is fine at the moment mate, thanks for the attempted gaslighting.

Photek's post is totally sincere with genuine heart-felt concern and definitely isn't gaslighting for Moggy's mental wellbeing. All it was missing was this innocent happy face emoji to really round it off. :simper:
