Counties in Ireland with Rudest People and why?

DEFTLEFTHAND · 29-04-2017 06:43AM

I'm sorry but it has to be Dublin..

They're very short with culchies I find. I've horrible memories of getting a taxi from Heuston with my Dad and the Jackeen driver trading barbs. (not banter, hostile stuff)

My Dad hates Jackeens as a rule, I try not to follow his prejudice but I still find myself becoming irritated when I'm around a group of Dubs.

Dublin taxi drivers and Dublin Bus drivers!

They think they own the roads!

Galway has some of the Rudest People in Ireland by far. and how the staff in hotels speak to Customers I had a few bad experiences there and the Driving there very Rude drivers.

29-04-2017 07:31AM

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say there's rude people in every county but that there's good people in every county too... except Leitrim, because that doesn't exist.

Yeah exactly. Lots of really decent sound Dublin Bus drivers. Dunno what the genetalisation about all Dublin Bus drivers being rude is about.

hairyslug · 29-04-2017 07:34AM

Wicklow, more so Greystones, the amount of rude knuts in that place outweighs the rest of the county.

I've found a lot of people from Cork treat people from Dublin very badly, once they find out you are from Dublin they become very hostile and if you are in a pub want to spend all night telling you how Cork is the real capital and how Dublin is ruining the country.

As a Dubliner, I find a lot of the country has an anyone but Dublin attitude but Cork has been the worst.

Aren't they just Southside dubs who can't afford to live in South Dublin?

Johngoose · 29-04-2017 07:51AM

A lot of over inflated egos in Cork.The so called "posh" areas of Cork are hilarious too, nothing particularly great about them, with few exceptions.

whoopsadoodles · 29-04-2017 08:01AM

I dunno. I've encountered very few rude people anywhere. I find those that encounter a high proportion of rude people are actually just dicks.

I have seen this too in Cork when the hear the Dublin accent. your treat very bad when your from Dublin by sum people.

I've seen some of the most ignorant b#stards you'll ever see in your life, on a Dublin Bus. Really bad. It's incredible how ignorant to be honest. I get on with my life though, but I'm sure it's not a nice experience for others.

I also seen some of the most honest, decent, and welcoming people driving a Dublin bus and they are a credit.

I'd estimate 80% are decent, but that still leaves 20%. And it just happens that that 20% would have to be a special breed of pricks amongst pricks.

Other than that, Dublin people are great. They gave my city a hard time, but we will change that perception in time.

When I was about 15 a Cork man once told me in that 'old man imparting advice to a young man' way - that a day spent outside Cork was a day wasted.

Now he had had a few jars and a few tears in his eyes, but he was really thinking hard about how much he loved Cork. I've never seen that anywhere else. They f#cking love themselves. They always say about the capital of Ireland, that Limerick was, Dublin is, but Cork will be. They are a proud people.

This stuff always swings both ways though, it's a pretty inherent rural/urban divide dealio and Ireland's so spread out that Dublin provides a fairly stark comparison to most everywhere else.

I've no issues with Dubliners in general but it's the only part of Ireland where I'll receive any kind of acknowledgment about being from the country. Generally harmless but there'll always be the c*nt or two that stick in your mind.

Monaghan is jampacked with ignorant feckers!

I find a lot of Cork people to be perfectly balanced.

A chip on both shoulders.

I find kilkenny, men especially to have an extremely short fuse and would argue with a wall for being in the way.

MadDog76 · 29-04-2017 08:53AM

As a True Blue Inner-City Dub (accent an' all) I've always been treated very well when in Cork, I honestly found them to be some of the friendliest people I've ever met.
