What county or town in Ireland produces the most ignorant and abrupt people?

Ghandee · 08-01-2011 1:05am #1

My job takes me through the 32 counties in Ireland, and as such, I tend to build up a fairly good idea of how a persons personality will be, based soley on where they come from. (its not always spot on mind!)

I think that some towns, and indeed some whole counties produce more ignorant hures than others do.

So its time to name and shame Counties and towns you believe have ignorant, rude, and downright abrupt muck savages in it.

I go'll first, the county I would say has one of the most abrupt people would definitely be Monaghan! The folk there seem to always be rude, have a chip on their shoulders and be very abrupt and to the point, with a ' I'm a very important person' attitude all the time! (abrupt and honestly may be good things some time, but not when hurting someones feelings)

Now, the town I would like to name and shame will be Arklow, county Wicklow!
I have about 6 clients in Arklow, and for the size of the place, I find it more than a coincidince that each one of them 6 men have the worst attitudes on this earth!
they are never happy, whinge about every little thing they can think off, and again, have this attitude of 'I'm more important than the rest of your customers, so fcuk them, and get your hole to Arklow now!'

Sorry anyone I might have offended here, might be stereotypical of me, but merely my observations!

I know a few "country people" (from small towns) and they all say the best people leave the towns and the people that remain...

But I don't know if that's true or not.

Ignorant people are everywhere tbh.

Dunno Dublin? Many rich stuck up people. But due to the large population, there's also a large variety of people from good to bad...

Also which town has most number of scumbags? Its probably that one...

FatRat · 08-01-2011 1:10am

Mullingar.

Ghandee · 08-01-2011 1:11am

Tbh, I find Dublin to be full of rather nice people! (I married a Dub incidentally)

FatRat · 08-01-2011 1:12am

Actually according to some surveys they did Bray is the ****test town.

Then Tralee, funnily enough Kerry was the best county to live in though.
Me, living in Kerry, outside of Tralee, would have to agree

2ygb4cmqetsjhx · 08-01-2011 1:13am

I am from Drogheda. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you ever wanna see a nuclear dump full of headers go to Drogheda not Chernobyl.

Well as you say Arklow i have to disagree most of the traders in Arklow would go out of there way for anyone, and the people aswell. im not an Arklow man but live about 4 miles away and its a fantastic town maybe it could be you your attitude towards them.

Yeah, i'll take that back. Dublin people are actually some of the nicest in Ireland on the whole. Just some of the south side and posh people can be very stuck up which is rather annoying. You know those kids who wear abercrombie, american eagle and all those brand clothes, blond usually hair, they all pretty much look the same and speak with the same accent.

I used to find Galway and Mayo people very nice as well. Though haven't really been there much since the recession so don't know how much people changed there.

thats true, i had to go to the caredoc a few weeks ago with cellulitis. the girl in the chemist said she would stay open for me til i came back with the prescription. she could have closed the chemist at 6 but waited half an hour for me

And the bizarre obsession with attributing characteristics, both good and bad, to people based on where they're from/what the area looks like... goes on... and on...

glenamaddy without any question, anyone who doesn't believe me head there some night for a few pints, leave your car on the main street and go talk to the locals in one of the fine establishments :eek:

Used to live there, will never forget the night when a lot of hiaces were turned over and some unwelcome 'visitors' were literally kicked out of the town

Not a bad word about anyone from there? I'm sure it has its fair share of pricks, like anywhere...

It's the same thing, it's just a bit more socially acceptable.

cloneslad · 08-01-2011 1:40am

I'm from monaghan (clones) and I'd have to agreewith you, we can be prícks and lots of us think we are better than everyone else, even the people living next to us.

When I read the thread title I was going to say Clones. It's hard to defend a bunch of people that go out of their way to hate on any of the foreigners working dead end jobs in the town that none of the locals will get off their ass (dole) an work.

One eastern european got stabbed earlier (i'm in korea so I would call it last night) I think it was a few hours ago. Some of the comments on my facebook from people back home are disgusting.

Some foreign c--t stabbed tonight up the town

One les dirty foreigner for the dole office to worry about

^^ his spelling mistake not mine

Idiots. nothing bad about the guy who murdered someone, only about the poor man that got killed.

Why are Clones people any different to people from anywhere else, in that regard?

I accept there are particular parts of, especially rural, Ireland that, as a whole, would be less accepting than bigger areas, but not bothering to acknowledge that this shouldn't be applied to each individual from those places, is as bad imo...

It does actually, you see this thread acknowledges that ignorant people are found everywhere, but were trying to establish where most can be found, preferably in the one area.

johnny_cash · 08-01-2011 1:52am

I find people from cork the most annoying in the country.

Belle E. Flops · 08-01-2011 1:53am

I've lived in a few places in Ireland and while some people think they are better than others in those towns, I'd say about 80-90% of people in my hometown do.

Don't get me wrong, I love Clones, but the people can be so backward it's unbelievable. I get comments like

why would you want to go live with all those gooks?

Those chinky people you work with speak any english?

How are all the black babies you're teaching?

I live in korea FFS, so not only are they racist, they are also geographically ignorant.

My sister in -law, although admittedly from Cavan, refers to Koreans as "them funny lookin' people".

I'm just pi$$ed off with what I read from people back home on my facebook and knowing what the locals always used to say / give out about the eastern europeans in the town. Perhaps they should try moving to a little backwater town where they don't speak the language or know the culture too well and see how easily they integrate with the locals.

I can guarantee that they would expect the people to try speak English to accomodate them in their new backwater town, but yet none of them learn how to speak polish, russian etc to accomodate the people that have moved to clones.

I know this happens all over Ireland, but I have experience of it from my town, so I can't go tarring places I have never spent any great amount of time in with the same brush.

EDIT: You edited your original comment while I was typing this so I didn't see your edited part until after
