    i just bought a car- car salesmen are at the top.
    followed closely by lawyers.
    what can i say?  sometimes there's something to the stereotypes....
  • wombat said on Feb 28, 2008....
    Even with the word "stereotypical" in there, it's hard to say.  I can only name a few that I personally have had bad experiences with---and that may not be under the same category as "stereotypical."  I don't know.
     
    BUT:  A real estate agent, a loan officer once, and a crusty old dentist who I got into a verbal contest of words with come to mind.
     
    The real estate agent asked me, "Who are you?"  (meaning, "Who do you know?")
     
    The loan officer treated me like I was scum for not knowing the real estate agent.
     
    The dentist was just a jerk.

    secret......I said 3! ;p

    wombat.....interesting.....yeah I've met a few real estate agents that were real peices of work.

    D6fer:  After 3 tries, I finally got the answer right---(being related by marriage to someone) and up he jumps and the "suits" come out.  It was hillarious.
     
    P.S.  The dentist was just a jerk.   Ha....

    Celllular phone salesguys....they look at you like you are dirt and they try to dump over your miserabel outdated cell the highest price plan with no mercy even though its the third time you specifically ask for the cheapest option on the market...hate them...

    Dentists.....we never know for sure if we really need all those super-extra-expensive-blood sucking stuff they claim being sooooo vital for our teeth......they are Nazi in disguise.....

    Computer techies......they salivate for the anticipation of lashing against us (poor mortal computer users) their criptic codes....they speak a language from a defferent planet and dont care translating ....they could sell me all the most useless software in the internet universe when all i really need is a soudcard...

    Mortgage broker, car salesman, car mechanic.
    Each one was patronizing to me and preferred to talk to my husband.
    We stood up and walked out of the brokers office without a word when he showed surprise at my ability to multiply two numbers.
    The car salesman said I reminded him of his ex-wife...we walked out again.
    The mechanic looked over my shoulder and told my husband, "She's probably just not strong enough to put it in gear".  My husband whispered in my ear "Get 'im Hon", and stepped back.  I cracked up laughing.  We walked out of there, too.

    phoebe.....care to elaborate?

    Gingerbaby! Wow, that's 2 for dentist! You and wobat go to the same guy?

    twyla.....that's 2 for car salesman.....lets see if the stereotype continues!

  • phoeby said on Feb 29, 2008....
    .. lol. just that that profession tends to draw a type of arrogant, holier than thou person, typically guy. they notice weakness not strengths in my experience. and are helpful only to people who are ok with giving all their power over to another person.

    don't get me wrong, there are times when they are useful and necessary, but i still think that even so, they tend to be stuck in this 'i heal YOU' mentality and can't see their own black spots.

    it's a joke actually.

    love phoeby

    I deal with all kinds of professionals in my job, because all kinds of professionals have pension plans that I've administered, and I would have to put lawyers on top of the list of most unpleasant. Their reputation is well deserved. But I'd also put cops high on the list, maybe worse than lawyers. It's just that none of them have corporate pension plans so I never deal with them on the job. I guess cops number one, lawyers number two.
  • rupert7 said on Feb 29, 2008....
    Politicians....with very few exceptions they think they are God like and act like juvenile delinquents.
  • Mamie said on Feb 29, 2008....
    I was thinking and thinking and was going to say that I could not come up with any...but I have to agree with Rupert....politicians...not that they are all corrupt, but the whole way that they have positioned themselves as elitists really freaks me out and when I heard about how they set up their pensions, salary increases, benefits packages.. etc. I decided that they really are the biggest jerks around!

    The car salesman is actually NOT the jerk...he's relaying the JERK message from the JERK F&I/Sales manager guys.  I'll count them as ONE!
     
    Agents of any kind, lol.
     
    Entertainment Lawyers
     
     
  • TaintedAtBirth said on Feb 29, 2008....
    Car salesmen, customer service reps, attorneys and musicians!

    Sorry to all musicians but it's just plain true !!
    (I'm one too! Not a jerk but a musician!)

    Then again, maybe I am a jerk!

    :{>


  • quietone said on Feb 29, 2008....

  • TaintedAtBirth said on Feb 29, 2008....
    True.

    I have known a great many cops that were just as cool as hell.
    But alas, many are puffed up pieces of overblown shit!
  • coptips4u said on Feb 29, 2008....
    policemen, way too many jerks wear a badge
  • Lucytorial said on Feb 29, 2008....
    Okay so Lawyers for 1.
    Car salesmen for 1.

    last but not least ~ Yep its the dentist.... fuckers, my dentist has those perfect clooney teeth that he checks constantly in the mirror I wish I could sledge hammer him, then he has the hide to say to me "you have an ugly mouth this is going to cost you a fortune" Whie he runs his tongue over his perfect fucking teeth!
  • crybabylu said on Feb 29, 2008....

    cafes to me have the most jerks!

    When I lived in Alaska, you would't believe the jerks I ran into in restaurants, cafes.......Oh yeah, being a retired truck driver, there are sure some jerks over the CB

  • PassionTraveler said on Feb 29, 2008....
    I used to sell cars and thought, my God, how low a job I have to take to survive. Wanna know something ironic? I found the car salesmen had better character and class than do some of the corporate execs with whom I now work and have worked in the past.

    Daily is right, it's usually the managers pushing the salesmen to be sleazy, although I had good ones who told me that if I didn't know an answer for a customer, never lie or make anything up. Come ask. It was better to be new and not lie, than to lie and alienate the customer. Surprised?

    Now, there are ways to lead a sale without being a jerk, pushy, or unethically. It's a job that CAN be done right and with sensitivity. I did. Hopefully I negate one car salesman vote. ;)

    I vote corporate execs are the sleaziest.

    "Which occupation draws the most jerks?"


    Guys, thats the post title.    not who is the biggest jerk, but...see above ^^^

  • lalalalalala said on Feb 29, 2008....
    I'm a little late on this, but such is life. I know some guys in Sales and Debt Collection that can be jerks when they are provoked. They're actually kinda funny though!
  • D6fer said on Feb 29, 2008....
    I think that the old stereotypes are holding strong.....lawyers and car salesmen are still winning!

    Tainted....interesting that you brought up musicians....now that you have mentioned that....I have noticed that too....many of them are very egotistical.
  • lfbno7 said on Mar 01, 2008....
    Politicians have been mentioned, and I agree they deserve to be. I remember meeting a Congresswoman named Elizabeth Holtzman in Brooklyn at a train station. She was running for office and she was shaking everyone's hand as they came up the steps to the train platform towards Manhattan to catch all the commuters on their way to work. She shook my hand with the pastiest, softest little handshake I ever got, just making contact with my fingers, and in the middle of the handshake I could feel that she had forgotten me and was looking at the person behind me. One second I was being touched by a human being, and the next second our hands were still in contact but there was nobody home in her hand. You can physically feel when you are utterly ignored, somehow.
