bartering, scheming, random angry outbursts etc, all seem common or all of those cultures (Arabs, Persians, Armenians, Greeks, Lebanese, etc)

Italians don't fit into that?

there are things you do and don't do. it's very defined. if you deviate from that in the negative, you're trash

he probably thought you got one past him. the proper response is unadulterated, irrational rage. if he doesn't react that way, then he loses respect from anyone who finds out that he got hoodwinked. anger > losing even an inch of respect

i realized that you have to be rude, aggressive, and an a-hole to some people or they'll always try to run over you.


What we, in the South, consider to be normal friendly interaction (especially in a business setting) is considered weakness in their culture. They try to frick over even their best friends at every opportunity and expect others to do it to them if given the chance. What really confuses them is when they frick you over and then you get mad at them. They don’t understand holding a grudge because fricking each over is such a part of their culture.

I fricking hate them and avoid doing business with them whenever possible.

That sounds pretty accurate. It’s a weird culture. My friendships and connections are worth more to me then quibbling over $25, especially if they offer to make it right.

Not this guy though. You’d have liked to meet him. Talks a shite ton. Heart on sleeve. All about them $$$. Worries abou $25 though lol

I don't think so. Too much influence from the Norman French, who ruled Southern Italy for centuries. Southern Italians hate Northern Italians more than foreigners too.

you have to realize that it isn't that to him

you're insulting him by throwing your deception in his face over and over again

and

you're asking him to act like a beggar and accept that charity. it's a really big scarlet letter

frick you. Cajun trash like you aren't even worthy enough to serve people of Persian decent. Trash like you is closer on the evolutionary scale to apes than to Persians.
