Travel bible publication Rough Guides has released its friendliest cities and we are shocked, flabbergasted and downright dazzled to see Dublin's position on the list.
The city came second just behind Glasgow in a new poll where they asked their followers on Facebook and Twitter to vote for the friendliest city they've ever visited.
Dublin managed to beat off competition from the likes of Budapest, Vancouver, Tokyo, Copenhagen and Melbourne to secure the silver medal spot out of the 15 cities named in the poll.
We think the people surveyed must have visited the wrong city because there is no way they are on about here - maybe they were on about the American city of the same name in Ohio.
Because we can think of many reasons why Dubliners are the worst people, not only in Ireland but on the face of the earth.
1. Even the famous people can't wait to forget the place the minute they get any sort of notoriety.

2. The staff at Dublin Airport are extremely rude. Barely crack a smile, ever.
3. And don't even get us started on the Gardai. They are minus-craic.
They really don't know how to enjoy themselves at all.
Even at festivals, they don't interact with the crowd at all in a fun way as this viral dancing Garda showed at the Forever Young Festival in 2019.
4. Dublin people don't know how to party either, they'd rather stay in the house 24/7...
5. Sure they didn't stir outside to check on their neighbours well-being during lockdown at all...
They don't even know their neighbours that well, never mind to interact with them...
6. The taxi drivers never talk to you, you'd be lucky to get two words out of them on a journey into town or to Heuston Station...
7. Speaking of town, ever been to Coppers? You could be there from 9pm to 5am and you wouldn't become best friends with one stranger.
No need for a dancefloor in there at all either because it's never used.
We are of course taking the pistachio and agree with everything on the Rough Guides travel list, except one thing, Dublin should have been number one.
In naming Ireland's main city the second friendliest city in their exclusive ranking of the world’s top urban destinations, the website told travellers to "spend a weekend enjoying the Georgian townhouses, squares and historic churches among some of the friendliest people in the world."

And no you don't need glasses, we can't see Cork on that list either.
