Today, an American lady here in Ireland asked me if I was a Leprechaun. Thinking she was joking, and me being quite "vertically challenged," I decided to just say yes. She then grabbed me and made me endure photographs, cuddles and pats on the head from all her fellow tourists. FML

SpilledWater93 tells us more.
To those of you who are American, please stop apologising and feeling bad, I actually found that lady and her friends quite amusing so they made my day. And what's more the story got published on here, that's more exciting than a pot of gold any day

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

As an American, a little part of me just died inside.

I have to ask how old these tourists were and if they were a little drunk. Sorry you had to go through that, OP. FYL

I've been asked if I lived in a igloo, because I'm Canadian. Best part is, we're practically America's neighbours. Sorry about that OP.

I don't know how being slammed up against Canada is "practically" neighbors.
