Rudest type of people to deal with

viztopia

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?

The rudest people are often those who are ignorant on a particular topic but proceed to talk about it as if they were an expert.....

Often seen to frequent AH threads late into the night and best avoided at all costs!!:p

Agreed. I also find them to have very negative attitudes. All I ever hear from them is "you can't do this, you can't do that" etc. So I call them "South African can'ts".

Parents are, by far, the rudest.

The rudest people are the older street hookers.
I know they are in high demand because of their wealth of experience but come on,
Little attention to detail.
No customer support.
High inflated prices.
Little intrest in their paying customers, just want to get rid of you to get to the next customer.

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.

I'd agree with this, dealing with people from the Narth is a pain at times, they dont seem to grasp the concept that political issues aside, as far as the company I work for is concerned, they live in another country.

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.

White South Africans. The song "I've never met a nice South African" comes to mind.

Edit, keyboard warriors, also find them quite rude.

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

Im gonna have to say the Eastern Europeans, the Pole's in particular. I dont think most of them mean to be ignorant, but they do across as ignorant. An example is phrases like 'Can I have that when you're finished please?' are generally rearranged to something like 'Give me that now'

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.

caseyann

All staff who are on the phones,if they are trying to get you to buy something or sign up for something they kiss your butt,but if you owe money could be even just 20 euro on a bill they get nasty.:mad:

Have also noticed that, 9 times out of ten one of them doesn't seem to have the ability to ask in a polite manner like the rest of us do and resort to bellowing.

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

I visited a car dismantler in Sligo, who I thought was totally rude on the phone, but after being in the place for 20 minutes, I observed his nature with some customers and he is OK after all, you just have to get to know him first I suppose. First impressions last though, especially in business! I don't think all car dismantlers are as abrupt, as I had to phone about 10 places a few months ago, and some of them seemed like very nice people.

No you dont, you just want to purchaser a part which should be at least coulpled with a bit of manners, and a receipt!

Who are these mythical "bleeding heart liberals"? I find that people whine about them when there is no actual evidence they exist and usually start moaning about them in threads like these before anyone has actually exhibited the behaviour that is being railed against.

Fecking Sun readers.

But its not racism, yeah its definitely stereotyping alright which in a thread titled 'Rudest type of people....' is inevitable, but using a persons colour to describe them is not racism, it's being discriptive

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!

ElaElaElano

People who work in music (instruments, not CDs) shops. Never come across a bigger bunch of high and mighty cúnts in my life. As an aside, failed musicians, who for example played a guitar riff on a Thin Lizzy song 30 years ago but have done fúck all else since seem to have a massive ego problem, much more so than genuinely famous, successful ones. It's like they're bitter about having had a taste of it but nothing more.

I disagree to be honest, there is a cumulative effect from this kind of reporting which, intentionally or otherwise builds up a perception of certain races/nationalities amongst the public.

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.

losthorizon

Louth people

I definitely agree with the well to do middle aged women comment.

For instance I remember serving a lady not so long ago, she wanted to pay with a Mastercard but it had no chip so I said I'm sorry I can't accept this card. She made a big fuss about how I had to accept the card, I couldn't though as it's company policy where I work only to accept chip and pin. In the end reached into her purse and slammed a laser down on the counter and turned away.

I wasn't shocked, I've seen it all before but it's annoying how some people let it go to their head when they get some money.

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.

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

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.

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

Can we trade?:D

Haha, give a scissors to a Nigerian? Yeah, that's gonna happen.

In fairness to them tho it's unfair to single out Nigerians for this kind of rude behavior. For instance I've found they're pig ignorant no matter what part of Sub-Saharan Africa they come from

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

HavingCrack

Work in Croke Park now and again and I just find that auld fellas from the country, especially Munster for some reason, are the rudest, least pleasant people I ever have to deal with. Nasty, grumpy, I hate-dubs attitude just pisses me right off.

Oh and Louth people .
