I actually had an (unsolicited) Irish guy at my door the other week offering to give me some "free" kitchen knives. He said that a neighbour had bought three packs off him, which didn't sound right if they were supposed to be free, so I sent him away. No social distancing whatsoever btw, until I told him to step back.
So, yes, stereotypes do exist, but the vast majority of Irish people aren't cowboys who go hawking door to door and this belief probably died out when Irish jokes did with the advent of political correctness.
