Jan 27, 2017

We all have our favourite things that are unique to Dublin.

Be it avoiding eye-contact with women selling strawberries on Henry Street to taking joy in the smooth and dulcet cries of the giant mutant sea gulls who marauder bin to bin, the hashtag #JustDublinThings is slowly taking off as the perfect place to air your very Dublin thoughts.

The hashtag is a play on the #JustGirlyThings, where women tweet about the realities of of being female.

When men take away your reproductive rights but still get mad when you won't have sex with them #justgirlythings

4. What would Dublin be without it's amusing automotive instances.

6. While we may curse the public transport, the commuter professionals are at least kind.

7. The origins of a true Dub's take-no-s*** attitude.

8. Because even if the streets aren't safe, it least their clean.

9. And of course what would the city be without it's *ahem* colourful charectors.
