marbleapple Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Am I alone in having serious prejudices against estate agents, journalists, and solicitors, and needless to say, local councillors? I tend to find those in the motortrade can also be added to the list. Both garages I have used have been scum. It seems I have a similar opinion as Rorscharch... how odd! Car dealers. Car mechanics. Car tuners. Car experts. What a bunch of rotters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extendor Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Doctors hit the spot for me. They seem to forget that other people out there (ahem) are equally as qualified but in their own discipline. I think doctors have a superiority complex and soon forget all they are doing is standing on the shoulders of giants. Lets put it this way, where would a doctor be without all the engineers out there that design and make the equipment they rely upon. Basically back to throwing bones, chanting, looking at the clouds and then reaching for the leaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martini Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I think doctors have a superiority complex and soon forget all they are doing is standing on the shoulders of giants. Surely all educated people stand on the shoulders of giants, and it's the uneducated ones that make truly original decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with standing on the shoulders of giants that a little bit of humility would not fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIJ8631 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 It would be interesting if someone would start a poll on the most hated professions / jobs. Then we could see how many club members fall into these hated occupations Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden1989 Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Mechanics = Tw4ts.........

Guigsy Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 i think it depends who you are and who you know. My dad, being in the building industry for xx years was used to dealing with solicitors, architechts, financial people and estate agents. So he has some good contacts, so i know that my financial advisor (who goes to watch the footy every other week with my dad) who was also an estate agent and ran a branch of nat west wont rip me off. Similar with solictors, helps to be on first name terms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I personally fail to see how a job influences the way a person should be viewed... I know lots of different people in various professions from mechanics to professors, and none of them are pretentious. The definition of a professional is someone who is a member of an organization such as Charted Engineers that sort of thing (for me anyway) I'm not prejudice against anyone as a rule, I hate them all....

Lbm Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 I personally fail to see how a job influences the way a person should be viewed.... Indeed, and from a spiritual "You are not your job" point of view, this rings true too. I'm not prejudice against anyone as a rule, I hate them all....

Certainly in relation to solicitors I think it really depends which type of solicitor you are refering to. Divorce lawyers and residential property lawyers even I don't like! Solicitors which deal with catastrophic injury cases and the ones that protect the little person are usually very nice people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Solicitors which deal with catastrophic injury cases and the ones that protect the little person are usually very nice people. Is that what you do by any chance? I absolutely hate estate agents with every bone in my body. I've met very few nice ones in 7 years of Conveyancing work. I was dealing with one yesterday who's commission was £40k. Our fee was £300. Doesn't really seem fair. We do all the work, take constant abuse from all sides and they get paid for putting a few pictures together? Nice one. I hate my job now and I'm trying to get into something else. There is so much stress and people are so negative before you start it's really an uphill struggle all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dangerous brain Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 As a general profession I find estate agents dis-honourable. I feel the same about car salesmen, and also the vast majority of vehicle mechanics. Its a bummer of a way to be but thats just how the world has become. Salesmen omit the truth in liberal quantities, and so many jobs are sales driven. Even mine is "be careful what you say". I despise the lack of truth in this world.
