Is this true of people in Ireland?

Question

Wow! Does that ever happen in classrooms, as well?

Thanks for the answers so far, by the way!

Answer 1

ayee tis true!!! especialy in class

unles u hav a loud voice u dont get evry1 elses attention lol

bt ye in a large group dere can b MANY conversations. tis irish:D

Answer 2

yes it does happen in classrooms but then again a lot of work in classrooms involves discussion so it works well, as long as children raise their hands and wait their turn which they find really hard to do!

I agree with all of the above but also to add Irish people get bored quickly and are used to a fast pace of conversation so they don't mean to be rude but it is hard to wait until someone finishes speaking especially if they speak slowly!

Answer 3

Really that is just ignorance to interrupt someone without knocking them out

Answer 4

oh yes

Answer 5

Sometimes. I find it happens more with young - to - middle-aged women. LOL!

Answer 6

Yeah that happens all the time!! Can't stop talking for 5mins! :D

Answer 8

Answer 9

Us Irish love to talk, I'm 15 and in school I often have 4 convos at the one time! I agree with Anto, especially in class! In class I can talk to the person beside me, da girlies infront of me, the teacher AND another girl across from me!!

Answer 10

I never noticed it before, only when I was in Galway

Answer 11

LOL, now that you say it, it is true,we never stop, no matter what age or gender. (2 yr old nephew and 63 yr old mother as prime examples)  I would not say its an interruption either, just a sharing of ideas once they come to mind, which is probably why some people see the Irish as witty.  

The people you met were being friendly,  now, if they didn't say anything to you then I'd think they were being unfriendly and I'd start to worry .

Answer 12

yes,we need to shut up sometimes we are always blabbering about something...

Answer 13

Sure that's true - but it's also known as 'craic' - jeez we never shut up, we just keep on going on and on. Some people from overseas love it and others find it slightly off putting as you did.

Answer 14

I suppose that is true of Women Especially.Men in a Group having a friendly Argument about Sport like Horse Racing ,Football Soccer, Gaelic Football, or Women,or who is best at getting GIrlfriends and then after awhile they all talk at cross purposes to each other if they think someone is getting the better of them.

Answer 15

Yes this does happen.

The problem for non-Irish people is that they don't know how to listen quickly enough!!!!!!!

Answer 16

I'm Irish. i never noticed it before but I suppose your right.

Answer 17

probably true of irish females, lol, i can never keep up with them either

Answer 18

HELLO..LIKE if a rooms full with 20people,it would be rather boring if just 1person spoke at a time...this is suck a retarded question..sort yourself out

Answer 19

yup! i'm 17 and that is really what my conversations with my friends are like. i didn't realise it untill you said it like that! its just that we irish people are real chatter boxes (well most of us really) i mean we talk to a complete stranger when we are in a queue for something...no joke. its just d norm here. most of us are really friendly n just talk talk talk!
