People you hate doing business with....

[calveless wonder]

we all know i'm the opposite of PC(but i can get away with it), so don't expect anything less of this thread.

but...

indians, arabs and chinese people are THE worst to do business with. 99% of them

never had so many headaches, so much nickel and diming in my life. time after time. I don't make any judgements, but time and time again these people prove what pains in the asses they are. All want something for nothing. And not just in mortgages and real estate, but in other industries i've been in. When i see "Ali or muhammed" i don't even want to pick up the phone. They also think everyone is always out to screw them

black people are actually great, at least in my biz. some of my favorite/closest clients are black, usually church folk. usually in bad situations and just want you to help them. they don't nickel and dime at all.

Hispanics are the same...you build a relationship with them, and they're yours. but usually you have to be hispanic yourself, and 50% of the time speak spanish.

white people and europeans are great too, for the most part.

+1 on Arabs and Chinese being a pain to deal with business wise.

Most of the time it's cultural differences, that nickel and diming is just how they do business small, large or just personal necessities. (And of course some people are just cheap and want something for nothing but they come in all colors.)

What really drives me is when someone hires me to do a job for them and they can not make any kind of decision or commitment without consulting all their family and friends about something that 90% of time their friends and family know nothing about or have no or little comparable experience. It always leads to unnecessary arguments and a breakdown in the long term relationship.

I also find that the majority of housewives that have never worked to be very difficult to deal with (too much time on their hands) while others can be so efficient, organized and on the ball that I'm just in awe.

I try to only take jobs with people that I can find common ground with and them with me otherwise there always seems to a tendency for misunderstanding or resentment when the pressure is on, no matter how clear you try to be with what you do and say. I'd rather make less money and have better clients but sometimes you don't have that luxury available to you. I also find that referrals from people that you like to work with to be of better quality as well.

Dr.'s wives are the worse.

But, I think you nailed with the "have never worked".

I have done a lot of work for people who have come from wealthy families. They are the worse to get the money from.

For the last 4 years I'd say 98% of my business was referral based. I did very well with hardly any effort, like 3 hours of actual work per day. Now I'm back to the crap CW is talking about and it can be maddening. The lack of common sense people in general have is awe inspiring.

Dr.'s are horrible. They tend to feel entitled to everything but not have to pay for it. Like Katrina refugees.

I have had my own biz since '92.
I dont deal with any blacks because blacks dont deal with blacks. They are afraid of the other brother making money. fucking so stupid we are.

pollocks are not my favorite they stink like onions, pretend they can't speak english and think you're ripping them off --fuck em --

Pakistan bro's much prefer to negotiate the price that's ok but if they want to nickle and dime and ask "why so expensive" I just say "I HAVE TO FEED MY FUCKING KIDS" and walk from the deal


I fucking hate cocksuckers who don't want you to make a fair profit.
