Which Part of Ireland Has the Most Horrid People

More than one.... And there was I all set for the 200 acres around Edgewardstown. The fcuker!

:D

Good thread...

It's a battle between the most northern and the most southern.

Hailing from Donegal, I find it amusing that people become cautious of me when they learn where I'm from.

I'm surprised there's so little votes for NI

The one lad I know from Donegal is a sound lad. I don't know anyone from NI

so I can't comment.

I kinda agree, although people are probably different all right. E.g. Kerry people, in general, are fairly different to Dublin people in general.
But horrible people? Equal measures everywhere I'd say. It may be boring to say that but I can't see how a place can shape a person's horribleness, moreso their family, community, and just personality.

Spend some time with Cork people. :pac::D:p

There's an area of Dublin between the National Gallery and National Museum where some of the worst gather. Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with the country.

Roscommon... Horrid sound people

Not all of the people but Galway city has been getting a bad vibe around it for the last 5 years or so. But it might be down to the fact it's such a heavy student population and there's a change in that younger age group compared to the ones that went through before them...also, a lot of feckless lay abouts around it...

As a Donegal man living in Cork at the moment, I thank you for your kind words:p

I have met some very nice Cork people but I have also met some of the most obnoxious, arrogant and dour people on Thor's green earth. And this is coming from someone who has actually lived in the county they are criticising....

As an example of the mindset of a Cork person, I overheard a work colleague tell someone who phoned in that when asking what Cork is like "Cork is a really big city and has around 600,000 people and Donegal only has 30,000 people." (Actual pop-Cork 120,000, Donegal, 160,000)

Also the whole rebel thing is cringey as ****:p

I dont believe that for a minute.
I doubt there is a person in Cork who thinks a) its a really big city, b) has 600000 people or c) thinks there are only 30000 people living in Co. Donegal. Since the actual population of Co. Cork is about 500,000 with Co. Donegal about 160000 I think its safe enough to assume you may be prone to exaggeration and maybe just making stuff up.

For the record having been to Donegal a few times and knowing (just as acquaintances) a few Donegal people I quite like them. There's always one though....

There are bad apples everywhere tbh, I don't think singling out one place or another is accurate or fair.

That said I'm a Dub myself and there are some parts of this city I wouldn't walk into without a gun and bullet-proof vest.

Is there a city in the world that doesn't have some very dodgy areas though?

This thread is silly and I think says more about the people giving out about places then the places themselves. Any time I've had friends from abroad visit they always go on about how friendly and helpful people are no matter where in the country we've gone.

I once worked in a job where I had to talk to people from all over the country, I talked to so many people that eventually i could almost tell what way the phone call was going to go based on the address that came up on my screen. of course there were lovely and horrible people every where but there were too distinct areas that without fail had people that were very awkward to deal with. In terms of people who just were not nice, had no manners and were out to gain whatever they could, ballincollig was by far the worst area. so, not all of cork, just the area of ballincollig. 
the second is not an area in ireland but a nationality living in Ireland and that was people from Nigeria, they are nice people generally but they are hard to deal with because each emotion they experienced effected them 100 times more than anyone else. when they are happy they are really really happy but on the other side when they are angry they are furious, it was overwhelming at times no matter what emotion you encountered!

I have heard someone from Cork say that the economy of Ireland is dependent on Cork. If Cork left the republic and formed its own state, it would be rich, while the other 25 counties would be reduced to poverty, on the basis that Cork is a MASSIVE business region and takes in far more tax than gets spent.
While most of them are grand, there are some absolute freaks who buy into the Cork Uber Alles thing in a big way

Not necessarily horrid, but for arrogance probably Cork people.

Cork people in Cork are sound folk.

Cork people in Dublin are completely different, because they're insecure in Dublin the arrogance and chip on their shoulder comes to the fore.

Anywhere south of Donegal, I generally find the IQ gets lower the lower I go and the women get hairier!

By the time I get to Cork it's like a scene from Planet of the apes, cannot understand a word they say boyo!

Been educated in NI I had many a fry in student canteens and they were pretty bad but the full English I had in London a few times was way worse and came with some green ball of snot they called a bubble, made me gag.

Full Irish anyday

Student canteens. There's your problem.

Your reference to 'control freak' would suggest that you had a bad experience with a Donegal woman OP..

The rest of us aren't like that up here you know.

Yeah the cartman, control freak, banjo player comparison made less than no sense. Trying to be clever but he failed big time. :rolleyes:
