I have some 100% Irish friends (they claim) who, every year, ***** and moan about St. Patrick's day:
"We don't like green beer!"
"The Irish were treated as lazy when they came to America! This is a stereotype!!"
"It's "Paddy's day" not "Patty's"!!!!"
It goes on from the beginning of March until at least the 19th.
I saw a new one today though. A non-Irish friend posted that he wouldn't let his son wear green today because they are Italian and don't celebrate St. Patrick's Day. He said he never did and in fact went to one bar years ago wearing clothes saying he was Italian and it pissed them off.
So I wrote "Happy Holidays" because he's big on you HAVE TO say "Merry Christmas" or it is disrespectful to his religion and heritage.
Now he's mad at me.
Weird.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
