The Irish are a quick witted bunch, no doubt about it.
People have been sharing the hilarious reactions other had to some outfits they'd tried out.
It all began when Twitter user @janky_jane posted the following:
Props to anyone who tries to be fashionable in ireland i wore a red beret once in waterford and someone called me super mario

She didn't expect the tweet to turn into a mega-thread of people sharing similar experiences, but we're glad it did.
Some of the responses are hilarious and just prove that you'll get away with absolutely nothing in this country!
I bought an oversized red and black striped jumper as a teen and felt very grunge a la Kurt Cobain. Wearing it 5 mins and get called me Dennis the Menace. Never wore it again.

My sister was in France sporting a new trench coat, thought was so stylish, but went into an Irish bar and got called Inspector Gadget by the first guy that saw her

Was wearing a vintage nike jacket in a very long que for drinks at a boxing match when a Belfast lad goes “fuck me this is taking forever, your man has been here since the 80’s”

Even our own Sharron Lynskey weighed in!
