Counties in Ireland with Rudest People and why?

DEFTLEFTHAND

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.

Omackeral

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.

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?

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

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!

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.

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.

People generally are getting ruder and more demanding, not a county or country thing,its a societal thing.

I've found that it's generally Dubs who are absolutely obsessed with the Cork being the real capital thing. They constantly bring it up, whereas Cork people don't give a crap and use it at this stage to troll the Dubs - who get very wound up over it.

North Kildare. They are a breed of their own for arrogance

Having worked in a call center and dealt with people from pretty much all over Ireland it's hands down Dublin. Your North inner city types with pig ignorant manners and cursing if they don't get their own way then pushy arrogant Dublin 4 types who talk down to you. Donegal people aren't exactly rude per say but dour and humourless.

Reati

Everyone in this thread clearly have never been in Carlow. It's a bitter place full of people angry all the factory jobs left and a bypass to Dublin was built around them.

They spit venom down there.

Galway , superiority complex , city of culture rubbish ,a few macnas heads and diddley-eye music and the fact some of them speak the gaeilge makes them the super race , and Laois , just so inbred down there, I don't think the social skills part of the Brain ever developed in people from that county .

Fermanagh. They would far rather walk into you than say "excuse me". Last time I was in Erneside I was nearly trampled to death. Special mention to the guy who nearly drove me off the road because he couldn't cede his "place" in the traffic.

My own county has a "hape" of ignorant feckers.

Agreed.

For many years I ,like many people here, thought Cork people were the rudest . More Cork city than county but Cork none the less .This was as a Dub who lived in Cork for 5 years .

That was though until my job required me to spend time in and working with people from Waterford . Cork is Disneyland compared to the the Déise .

Dublin is fine but quite superficial.

Armagh. Full on hills have eyes inbreds with low intelligence.

Met one once who introduced me to his wife and sister..... and there was only one woman standing there.......

Used to go to pool tournaments years ago and one year it was held in Ennis Co.Clare and i have never been in such a place where the atmosphere was so aggressive and for every ten people you encountered about eight who were so ignorant and hostile it was amazing. Would never set foot in the place again even if you paid me.
The following year the tournament was held in Birr and it was brilliant, friendly people, no bad atmosphere just good people having the craic and getting on with things.

From going to GAA games Tipperary breeds a special ignorant class of people.
Killnascully could nearly be described as a documentary!

Hardly a great example? People are usually ringing these palces when they are getting a bad service or issues with it. Also alot of the time the call is costing the Person money or all their credit to hear a game of pass the buck. So chances are they're going to be annoyed.

I'll flip you example. Most people will have had an average to **** experience ringing a call centre.
