+709 People who say "I'm 50% Irish!" and then turn around and say "I'm 50% German" get annoying. Especially when they add up to be 250% of a person, amirite?

My friend is like this. She says she's half french and half English all the time, then she randomly says things like "Oh yeah, I have Irish blood in me too!"

(Just playing devil's advocate here) She could be like 1/16th Irish and really 7/16th French and half English. Are you really going to say you're half English, 44% French and 6% Irish?

I've never met someone like this. Everyone I know adds up to be 100%. No more, no less.

Ha. I really am 50% Irish and 50% German.

But 50% + 50% = 100%, not 250%. :( I mean, I suck at math myself, but really.

I meant people who turn around and change their ethnicity every day. Each day saying "I'm 50% _______" It's very,VERY, annoying.

Oh, I see. I'm guilty of doing that before. XD I'm half Italian and the other half is like 20% British, but I like to play up my German and French ancestry.

I once knew a girl like that. She bragged about the many nationalities of her family tree. I'd bet they were lies. I don't know the percents, so I don't make them up to sound smart or anything. Not to sound pessimistic, but it's not like anybody cares anyway.

I'm like 1/2 English, but then I'm just a mix of Irish, Scottish, German, Danish, And Welsh :P But I still like to say all the other nationalities, just to make it a little more impressive :P
