    Had a guy from o2 ringing me up this morning asking about changing my price plan. I said I'm grand with my Pay As You Go crap as I don't use my phone much and buy feck all credit for it anyways.

    Him: "Well, why don't you use your phone more often?"
    Me: "Eh.........plenty of reasons I just...........don't"
    Him: "Why?"
    Me: "What are you trying to sell me anyways?"
    Him: "Better price plan to suit your needs, etc, etc"
    Me: "But I said I'm grand with what I have, I chose it for a reason. I've always been Pay As You Go for 10 years."
    Him: "But you'll save money"
    Me: "But I don't buy much credit, maybe €5 every 2 or 3 weeks..........maybe. Anyways, I send texts off your website!"
    Him: "But you'll save money if you sign up for this"
    Me: "I'm..........grand...........with...........what..........I.............have...........thanks"
    Him: "But do you not think you'll be better off signing up for this price package? You'll save €15 a month."
    Me: "I don't even spend €15 a month on my phone!"
    Him: ".............."
    Me: "..............."
    Him: "...........hello?"
    Me: "Yea, still here"
    You: "This package will suit your........"
    Me: "Look, ring me back in an hour to think about it"

    I just didn't answer the call then :pac:

    But yea, everyone is a cùnt. Customers and behind the counter folk, more-so customers as many seem to think I am the sole person responsible for all deliveries and management of whatever company I was working in.

    Surprised it's taken so long for them to be mentioned. I've met a few travelling and they're constantly arguing with hotel staff/locals/waiters/shopkeepers/other holiday makers. I've seen signs up in hostel saying "no Israelis". The staff said they're not worth the hassle.
    Agree agree agree. The funny thing about the Israelis, is that if you meet on on their own, you'll think they're quite nice, friendly.But...get them in a group and they are the most ignorant arrogant group I have ever met! :mad:

    When they ring me up to try and sell me a news paper subscription I just tell them I can't read.

    Edit, keyboard warriors, also find them quite rude.

    Some snobby people and some geriatrics, old fashioned people, some priests and some bus drivers as they can be very judgemental of people regardless. In Particular the English find them very rude compared to the Scotish who are lovely people. A few Europeans i.e. the Germans and the Greeks and French can be very rude and obnoxious.

    Really :confused: Nearly every English person I've met is so friendly and polite, lovely bunch of people in my experience. Never found Scottish people to be overly friendly myself.

    Ha, every English person I know is unbeliveably tight-fisted, as far from your description as possible.

    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.

    Funny this...
    Two weeks ago when you posted this link up I decided to try for a part I have been after for some time as I have a Jap import (car).
    I scanned down through lists of what were available to no avail,so there is an option to send an email on the website,and if/when a part becomes available the breakers yard or company/person that has it will reply to your email.
    So this I did.Low and behold I received an email reply the next day from a yard up in Donegal.
    I rang the contact phone number to which the most rudest ignorant individual answered the phone.
    I explained to them about the email I had received off of them and the part they said they had available.
    He blew me off saying this vehicle was not on their premises yet and gave me the impression like I was an annoying so and so for calling him with this request.
    There was nothing polite about his phone manner at all and was treating me the customer like I was some sh1t on his shoe.
    Then it dawned on me where I had come across this contact,and internally I had to laugh.
    Anyway after he had told me to call him back the following week to check again if the part/vehicle was in,unsurprisingly this second call/contact was never made by me.
    So the moral of the story is...

    I am a bit confused by some of the comments; Africa is a continent, comprising of many countries. Saying Africans are of a certain disposition is akin to saying the same of Europeans, when, in reality, there are a lot of different nationalities under the European umbrella. Granted, it may be difficult to discern which African country someone comes from but it seems odd to me to consider all Africans to be of a certain disposition based on experience with a small number of people, more than likely, from one or two particular countries in Africa

    I've been living in Madrid almost a year and still can't get my head round how hilariously rude staff are in local restaurants and bars. I'm sorry your wage is so abysmal but don't take it out on me. Used to put me in a bad mood and now I laugh.

    Every white South African I've ever met have been frighteningly racist and rude to the extreme.

    I work in a busy pub in Dublin, and I find that the most rude clientèle/people are (in my experience):

    -Middle aged women - awful wannabe-rich annoying people altogether
    -Middle aged men - if they fall into the 'wannabe-rich' category. They seem to believe that if they act rude to staff, they appear wealthier.

    Contrary to popular belief, in my experience, the 'D4 brigade' or 'skangers' are generally quite pleasant customers (bouncers remove the extremes at the door I presume)

    And also, the African people in work are very pleasant indeed.
    African taxi drivers on the way home some nights, quite ignorant and arrogant indeed.

    Completely disagree with the White South african comments. I have a white south african lecturer and she is so pleasant and helpful. I also just spent 3 weeks on a trip with two white girls from south Africa and neither of them had a mean bone in their body. I suppose it depends on who you meet but it's extremely unfair to tar all people from the nation who are white with the one brush.

    At a petrol pump in Swords at the weekend and my friend went in for snacks and to pay so I waited in the car at the pump.

    A guy with his Mrs and kids pulls up behind me waiting for me to pull off. I was wondering what he was up to because there were three other pumps free. :confused:
    I just carried on waiting for my friend.:rolleyes:

    He blows the horn in an annoyed fashion.
    I carry on waiting.
    He blows the horn again.
    I dont budge.
    Then he pulls around in front of me with his window down and a big red face on him. Said something to me, flailing his arms! I smile. :D He carries on to call me a b*tch. :eek: Then pulls in at the other side of the pump to me. I felt like setting him on fire but I just remained in the car. Ignorant dope, needed the pump on the right side of his car. Really annoyed me though...how rude! :mad:

    Middle aged cops(some not all) who are just counting the days to retirement for me have to be the most grumpy,rudest and disinterested in doing their jobs.They bully their way into handy jobs to top up their pension while over 400k+ people are unemployed on the back of the fact that they are a garda....and even then they have the do you know who i am attitude:rolleyes:
