Indians for me, probably a lot to do with their caste system. South Africans, Israelis,Nigerians and cockneys make up my top five.

 

I found India a pretty unpleasant place to backpack round. Aside from the noise and litter the amount of people trying to scam you is a couple of stepw above what I've encountered anywhere else.

[peter_hmfc]

Americans are by far the worst. If they're not mocking European terrorist attacks they're parading around thinking the whole world revolves around them.

 

This is BEFORE Trump came to power, they seem to have become a thousand times worse since.

 

Arseholes.

It's a close thing between Israeli's and South Africans. Other nations can be a bit annoying, or more accurately different to us, but they take the biscuit. Oddly both nations gave been brought up to believe they are better than other people. Of course that may be different with younger South Africans but it certainly used to be the case.

I think it has improved quite a bit.

I've met some thoroughly pleasant South Africans over the past few years. Mainly in the 20's - 30's age group.

Go back 20 years and they all seemed to be *****.

[Bauld]

Scottish.

 

Because we're the dugs bollocks.

 

Half the world would be dead or in darkness but for Scots inventions.

[Herbert.]

I've had the displeasure of working with alot of nationalities, the worst are

 

Romanians, They come in moan about the price go away come back moan go away again come back a day later moan get seen and try to talk down the price again. 

 

Indians, they are so pernickety, they watch every move you make, moan about the price and nothing is ever perfect first time for them

 

Africans, the ones I've worked people from various places in Africa and with both back and white have all been extremely lazy, a couple have became quite aggressive when they are asked to do something. 

 

Americans, they love themselves, loud and talk absolute shit

 

Australians are like Americans but with nippy accents 

 

British, either scum or snobs I'm the only decent one. 

 

 

Actually I hate everyone just so it's fair and not racist or xenophobic. 

[rudi must stay]

Colombians. Happiest nation in the world because they generally don't care about anything or anyone and think they're special coming from Colombia

Never had any issues with Germans but that's because I overlooked just about everything trying to get into the one that I knew. Same goes for French, I've always found the ones I've worked with to be fairly polite...but for obvious reasons, I'll take your word.

 

Italians though, don't get me started..

For me, if forced to choose it would have to be people Israel (men specifically)...although I don't like the concept of the thread to be fair, as you can't generalise a nationality (as every single one on Earth will have unlikeable people).

[Dagger Is Back]

There are annoying folks of all nationalities and Scots can be among the worst especially when drink is involved. However, in keeping with the thread.

 

South Africans - opinionated, boorish, know it alls. Condescending, arrogant and loud

 

Mexicans - like an earlier poster, encounter a fair few in Florida. Fat, smelly, no manners and no concept of queuing. Always bloody eating too stuffing food that is too big even for their cavernous gobs, down their throats

[Thommo414]

My own personal list would have to be Italians, Americans, Israelis, and the English anywhere South of Yorkshire.

 

In my teens I would've said poles but all the ones I've worked with over the last 5 years or so have been great folk 

 

Oh, and not to forget the Scottish, anyone from the borders, Glasgow or the so called more affluent areas of Edinburgh can get the furthest to **** imo

I helped an Israeli couple few weeks ago at work and they weren't the most courteous that's for sure.

 

But I agree, I wouldn't generally want to tar a nation with the same brush. A lot of the time too, people from these countries don't realise their behaviours are a problem outwith their countries as its just part of the culture.

My top 5 then

 

Estonians

Welsh

Geordies

South africans

Argentinians

 

All worth avoiding wherever you may be, scumbags to a man, woman and child.

Do you mean all South Africans or just white South Africans? Or just white Africaners?  If it's the latter two you have a point.

British immigrants to the Spanish costas (ex pats as they call themselves) generally take some beati g.

I was chatting to a New Zealander last night and asked him which countries they liked beating at rugby.

 

In order it was

To be fair to you Thommo, a lot of our French friends (and our close neighbours) are actually fine. And, as you say, they are invariably polite. Up to a point

The most arrogant I've ever encountered were a group of South Africans clicking their fingers at a black waitress at a restaurant in Mauritius every time they wanted a drink. Rude as ****, almost made me ashamed to be white, makes me cringe thinking about it. 

I find the SA accent obnoxious. 

 

Probably not their fault but that’s how it sounds.

Worked beside a lot of Aussies in the building trade and most have been sound.

 

What I find though is they can’t take the wind-up/piss taking culture we have.  It’s in those moments they become a bit up themselves.  As if to be too good for it.

The Scotch because they think they're special or different when in fact they're a peely-wally, undernourished, undereducated shower of louts under the spell of a nippy cu**

 

The Catalans for having it all and still wanting to feck about, including turning down the chance to be native speakers of the second most-spoken language in the world, all because of sanctimony.

 

The Russians because they think they're somebody and, well, naw. O

Always worry about these kind of topics on here as I don't ever want to say something too offensive (although I like a wee bit offensive).

 

I find Kiwis quite annoying

I have met very few nice South africans

Russians are the rudest

Aussies need brought down a peg or two

And the Welsh think more of themsleves than they should but they are fellow Brits at the end of the day so no beef.

I would still say the Polish are the most arrogant people I have ever met. Perhaps it is because I spend so much time at work/ at home with them, but to me it always seems to be 'The Polish way is the correct way'

I've done a fair bit of travelling and met my share of different nationalities.

 

Generally speaking, people are sound, but all countries have their share of assholes.

 

My experience is that if you're in their country they're fine.  It's the tourists from those countries that need to get a grip.

[FWJ]

South Africans in South Africa are fine - friendly, chatty and helpful, no matter if they’re white, black or whatever.  (They hate Nigerians though and have a good laugh at Zimbabwe)

I’ve been to France loads of times and have only once had merde service (from a barman) with an attitude.  Even in Paris people have been fine.  I think we forget, or don’t realise how formal the French are - they think we are hugely rude for not saying ‘bonjour’ going into a shop or prior to any transaction, it maybe also helps that I can speak a bit of French - but everyone can learn some pleasantries if they try.

Americans, especially on the coasts, are great.  Friendly, open, helpful.

I’ve been lucky enough to do a fair bit of travelling and rarely, rarely, had a bad experience.  More than once I’ve apologised to visitors to this country when I’ve seen how they’ve been treated or spoken to by us salt-of-the-Earth Scots.

 

Favourite people - The Greeks.
