Irish people don't tend to get nervous; particularly when it comes to speaking about Irish-ness!
Reddit user Ainatuoretta took to the site to ask for the unwritten rules of Ireland, and the Irish were sure to fill him/her in on all of the 'important' stuff.
Here's some of the rules that were offered:
1."Don't brag. Don't take a compliment without denigrating yourself."
"Cheers, Hun Penneys, €3."
2. Say thanks to the bus driver when you get off
This is vital.
3. When you can't remember someones name, just salute with
"Ah sure look it"
4. Saying "bye" 23 times before hanging up.
5. Mass crowds are exempt from parking regulations
Truth.
On iWork, Emma asked you what else needs to be in this list
6. "You're not fully Irish if your Granny hasn't lit you a candle for your JC/LC."
7. "When driving past someone you must salute them on country roads".
8. "Always have an umbrella on standby"
9. If you're sick you have to drink flat 7Up and dry toast."
10. "Must get a huge farmers tan!"
11. "You must buy a bag of chips after a night out even if you don't want them".
12. "You must tuck your trousers into your socks before inserting foot into your wellington".
Amen.
