15 Of The Most Shameful Things To Happen To You In Dublin

Dublin is a small enough city. The chances of you bumping into someone you know is fairly high, but what’s even higher are the chances of you embarrassing yourself, and most likely, in front of someone you know.

We don’t know what it is about the city that gives us so many chances to enter a spiral of shame, but Dublin, we still love ya.

Here’s the 15 most shame-inducing things that have happened to all in this fair city…

1. Being refused from Coppers

Pretty self-explanatory, if you don’t get into Coppers, just go home.

2. A seagull robbing your chicken fillet roll

This is a very real thing, one of the members of the Lovin Dublin offices assures me. A very real thing.

3. Getting on a bus or Luas with an empty Leap Card

It’s rush hour, you’ve managed to get on the bus and your Leap Card fails you. Off you shuffle through the many people absolutely staring you out of it.

4. Falling off your Dublin bike

You’re in shock, you’re in pain, the cars are beeping. Nightmare.

5. Seeing the Tinder date you ghosted in your local

Keep your head down, keep drinking and it will all be fine. Or so you tell yourself.

6. Purchasing coffee from Starbucks

Why? Why do that to yourself?

7. Getting the first Luas on your walk of shame home

You sit as inconspicuously as you can, but they know. They know.

8. Being screamed at by the Viking Splash

All you’re trying to do is go home and then you’re victimised in this way.
