I recently had to buy a part for my car and as it is an old enough car it made no sense to buy the part new as the price of it was neary half that of the car. I rang around about 15 car dismantlers looking for the part and i have to say they seem to be the rudest/most ignorant bunch of people i have ever dealt with as a whole. who do you think as a group are the rudest people to deal with?

There are lots of part finder websites online. http://www.partfinder.ie/ is a fairly decent one... basically, you fill in what you are looking for & you'll get an e-mail to tell you which dismantlers have the part you are looking for. It cuts out a lot of telephoning around.

That is by no means the only website, but it's the only one I've used & found it pretty handy.

Also, I've never had any problems with dismantlers. The rudest type of people I've had to deal with are from no particular sector or business type - you get assholes in all walks of life.

Why did you call them white south Africans? So if i say i find black south Africans the rudiest its ok.Funny i find individuals Rude and ignorant.

From working in retails

Middle aged, well to do women.
Out spending their husbands money and meeting for coffee with the girls

"Did you need a college degree for that job?, I know my rights!" they sneer at the law students behind the counter while they haven't worked in 20 years since they got married!

Rich people are sound, I dealt with many including some well known developers in hotels.

It's people who think they are rich that are the worst. Not used to money
One good thing about the recession...

Middle aged Northern Irish women. Henceforth known as Prod Bítches, I don't care what side of the divide you are from, if you are rude to me you are automatically a Prod Bítch.

People with huge tar brushes. They're usually fairly rude.

Counter staff in the public service.

For me it's the opposite. Having worked in a county council I've had to deal with some of the most rude, obnoxious and demanding people I've ever come across.

And that's before going into being threatened.

I'm going to be crucified for this but middle aged African women are the rudest people i've dealt with.

I work at a deli counter and whenever a middle aged african women comes up and just goes "i want chips" in the grumpiest way possible. When i give them what they asked for they look at it and just walk off without any please or thank you.

For some reason all the middle aged african women i serve are like this. All African men and younger women are much nicer but for some reason the middle aged women are a nightmare to deal with.

Skangers and loaded aul wans

So say you met 10 South Africans, 5 who were white and 5 who were black. If the 5 white people were quiet ignorant, and the 5 five black people were quiet friendly, how would you differenciate them when describing it to someone eles?

Theres nothing wrong with saying what colour/race someone is when giving a discription of them

Funny when i have done that previously got called a racist.

Home improvement store workers. Majority of them, from my experience, have zero knowledge of the products they sell and can't be arsed helping you with anything really. They do as little as possible.

Nigerians.

This is not me being racist, this is just observed through my own 3 years working in a shop where I have had to photocopy alot of documentation for people from other countries.

I can say that, without a doubt, there has only been a handful of nigerians I have served in the shop that has not been, on some level, rude. From jumping the queue, to demanding tippex/scissors/sellotape, to not saying please or thank you, to pushing their papers at me, having kids running riot in the shop, calling me a stupid girl, tutting at me, pushing other customers bags off the counter because they need to fill out a form, taking off their shoes in the shop and demanding I fetch them a chair to use while their fax goes through... and so on.

Apparently it is a cultural thing, I have a friend whose boyfriend is Nigerian, and he said they have a very abrupt and demanding culture. It just clashes alot with ours!

The only time such details are warranted is when descriptions are required to help the gardai - otherwise I see it as no more relevant than the colour of ones shoes or the clothes one is wearing - the latter two pieces of information are never printed.

Thats what Im getting at though, describing someone as having black/white skin is no different to describing them as having black/white shoes. Once the reference to skin is made only in a discriptive sence

On the flip side some of the nicest customers I've dealt with have been middle aged rich men, oddly. It's all very subjective anyway as each person's going to have their own biases.

There's a couple of middle aged rich men who come into my shop who are complete pricks.

Can we trade?:D

But you are working on the flawed premise that this information is not going to influence anyones perceptions - in the ideal world, this would be true, but in reality, it leads to racisim by installments. If it is inconsequential, leave it out.

If it influences someone's perception, thats down to them and their prejudice. In an earlier post, someone said that they found white South Africans to be unfriendly/ignorant. IMO, they were being discriptive, and not racist
