Never tar all white South Africans with the same brush,they will have to sit in the back of the bus if you do!!!!

Young girls aged 13-18 who walk around in groups laughing and talking as loudly as they can.
There is always one, the more popular one that the others follow around like dogs.
What really annoys me is when you meet them on a footpath and not one moves even slightly to the back or front as they don't want to move away from the "queen bee"

Hipsters -
1. Snigger when you don't know who's the lead singer of some band that only sold 4 albums.
2. Act as if they're more cultured than everyone else when they can't name the minister of finance.
3. Don't understand the meaning of irony.
4. Act so hard to seem as if they don't care.

I put up with these asshats in college.

"Well actually, I think Voltaire was onto something when he said blah, blah, blah, but Nietzche would disagree. In fact *cue 20 minute spiel on irrelevant bullsh1t*"

Oh yay, look at you. You can regurgitate Wikipedia and yet can't seem to learn basic social conventions. We were having a perfectly good chat fuckwad, which is now ruined by you learning off text verbatim without even bothering to understand it and having to throw it into conversations about the soaps, the weather or what my dog did yesterday.

5. Will automatically turn on a band when they become even vaguely popular.

some foreign national's are very very rude!!i have worked in retail and my god they can be rude!!i know irish people can be rude to but i have seen more from foreign nationals, and have taken alot aswell

no insult was meant is my post

[mickydoomsux]

I think a lot of that has to do with their home-culture. I was in New York last week and your average New Yorker is an impolite, snappy, pass-remarkable asshat.

Yet when you go into most shops and restaurants it's the most pleasant service you'll ever encounter.

its suck doesnt it !!! wish it was different though because one may give another a bad name if you get me

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

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.

Just say you don't own a phone. That'll confuse them.

Foreign nationals who come over in a huge group on tour holidays. They just seem to think that they can do what they want. I'd be often walking through town and there would be a large group of them up ahead and to try and pass them is a nightmare no amounts of sorry or excuse me will make them move. I know they might have no english but they can still see me struggling.
