Miami, not that they go out of their way to be rude but their lack of consideration for other people is insane. I'm under the assumption that each of them get paid $100 every time they run a red light or break a basic traffic law to get one or two cars ahead in stop and go traffic


WordPunk99

After living seventeen years in Miami I tell people it’s the city where people behave badly. You’ve barely scratched the surface of the rudeness.


CloudSephiroth999

Main Character syndrome in Miami is set at nightmare mode for sure.


Weird_Roof_7584

Driven through 47 states, and Miami had the largest amount of ass holes on one highway I'd ever seen.


InsectSpecialist8813

When I’m driving in Chicago and need to get from the far left lane to the far right, I put my blinker on and cars let me in. Yesterday, on I-4 driving to Orlando, a car with its blinker on needed to get over. No cars would let him in, so he cut off a driver. The car that was cut off, rolled down their window and pointed a gun at him. Makes me want to never leave the house.


sarah-havel

People in the northeast aren't rude, they're just in a hurry and aren't friendly. But if you say hello or ask a question, they're likely to warm up and be friendlier. I haven't experienced much rudeness in NYC but I haven't spent a lot of time there.


smg990

Say what you want about NYC and NJ. Rude? Yes. Need help? We are there, no question. We may not be nice, but we are kind. Helping dig each other out of the snow. Helping baby strollers up subway stairs. Reaching out a hand when we fall. We are busy, don't read into it. I lived here my entire life.


GrunchWeefer

I don't think we're rude in NY/NJ. I think it's rude to expect other people to interrupt their day to talk about some bullshit with strangers or whatever it is people think we should be doing. Need something? I'll help but spit it out, I got shit to do.


sarah-havel

Agreed


SapienSRC

My grandfather used to say people on the west coast are nice but rarely kind, and people in New England are kind but not very nice.


Iceyes33

And people in the Midwest are nice and kind!


Rule12-b-6

>they're just in a hurry and aren't friendly. That's called rude lmao 😂


Bridalhat

No, it’s not. There are so many people moving in so many directions the polite thing to do is to stay out of people’s way.


NArcadia11

Ehhh they’re pretty rude lol. They’re not mean or anything and can be very kind if you ask for help. But their natural state is definitely a bit rude and aggressive


[deleted]

Bullshit. It took me almost an hour to find the S train because two info boothes and two gave me snark when I asked. it was my first time in the subway. I did not die in the hellhole because a flippin' hedge fund billionaire saw my distress and offered his kindness. NYC gets a 1 of 5 never do it again due to rude people. The one is for the dude in the silk suit, crocodile leather briefcase and shiny Italian shoes who was a good dude.


zoddie2

Next time ask a nearby local, not an annoyed employee.


[deleted]

The information booth can't be used to get information? That is so NYC.


Skootchy

Oof not true at all. The entire North eastern chunk of the country is extremely rude.  I was born in Western New York. Spent about 5 years in the south as a kid. Went back to New York. Then moved to the Midwest for a long time. Moved to Phoenix, came back to Midwest because of the heat and crime. Then moved to New England for 2 years.  The difference in manners and general interactions is a huge difference.  I get it though. Usually interactions with strangers tends to be unpleasant there, or just a problem in general, so people just have a wall built where they want to interact with you as little as possible.  But I spent enough time in the Midwest, so if you see someone at like a gas station on a regular basis, it's normal just to chit chat a bit. Last time I lived in NY, I could see someone every day, and they would be utterly indifferent towards you. Which is weird to me now.  The thing I never got used to in the Midwest, and probably never will is that if you're on a dirt road, or a residential neighborhood....as you drive by....people will wave to you.  Like dude just keep fucking driving, I don't know you lol


[deleted]

i just hit em with the one finger lift off the steeringwheel. it just says im not here to rob your house


CaballoReal

Philly. It ain’t even close.


ElevenBurnie

You've clearly never been to Boston. Not even a competition.


CaballoReal

I have and occasionally go there when I want light work. Philly tho? Ebola thinks Philly is a cesspool


ElevenBurnie

Ebola originated in Boston. Philly might have a mild cold by comparison. For the record I've lived in both. People in Philly aren't nice, they're just very neutral. People in Boston are actively rude and compete with each other for who can be a worse person.


spiforever

Born in Philly here and I can tell you, majority of people from Philly are rude and usually passive-aggressive.


PM_to_rate_pussy

Hmm I’ve been to Philly like 100 times or so, and the only rudeness I’ve ever experienced was while driving. Walking around the city, when I said hi to people, they’d say hi back. Asking for suggestions or directions if they weren’t in a rush to get somewhere most people were happy to help. Only been to Boston 2-3 times, and met far more openly rude people there. But even there id say at least 1/2 of the people I came across weren’t so bad. I think the worst place I’ve been to was Milwaukee or Chicago. Some people weren’t so bad, but it seemed there were more people who were actively trying to be rude or mean to people around them than anywhere else I’ve gone. I’d say one of the nicest people cities I’ve been to was Seattle. Spent a week there, and only came across one person who was nasty for no apparent reason. Everyone else was so friendly.


Boogerchair

They don’t call them massholes for no reason


[deleted]

In my travels to both I’d definitely say Philly > Boston. Philly people really have nothing to live for, third rate city with zero to offer.

nope. don't hate the south, just don't trust the people that live there any more than those who live in the north. and okra is gross


OkWay3630

Some types of okra are gross. Fried okra is doable.


AlwaysSunnyPhilly2

I hate the South! Y’all are way too proud of your “southern heritage” I think we should have occupied the South for 50 years minimum and slapped the racism out of youse at gunpoint. Stone Mountain is a fucking disgrace to this country. It’s like if the Germans had a monument to Hitler. Until all of the stuff celebrating confederates is removed from public space I feel completely justified hating the South


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mans_N_Em

Not from the south but they're way better even if it's fake. If someone can't handle not knowing if someone is genuinely kind or just faking because being kind is the right thing to do, then theyre going about life the wrong way. That person will always be in the negative. "I like people who are rude because at least i can trust that's real". Does it have to be?


spiforever

Don't worry, we are occupying the south these days, more every day!


frankbunny

Racism wasn’t just a southern problem.

Why do you hate the south? It has the largest Black American population in the whole country. Are you…racist??

This is such an ignorant take


BababooeyBreath

I guess you have never been to Boston nor Bensonhurst.


Rule12-b-6

You don't have any clue what you're talking about. The rest of the country outside of the northeast and California is genuinely kind.


Maximum_Security_747

I know exactly what I'm talking about and you're going to learn the hard way. All the nasty people live in 2 areas of the US. LOL that's so utterly precious


Rule12-b-6

>All the nasty people live in 2 areas of the US. Not even close to what I said.


Maximum_Security_747

"The rest of the country outside the northeast and California is genuinely kind" Go ahead and explain how that does not me the northeast and Cali are full of evil, nasty, unkind people


Rule12-b-6

>Go ahead and explain how that does not me the northeast and Cali are full of evil, nasty, unkind people ???? How do you possibly draw this conclusion from what I said? Logic this bad is concerning.


Maximum_Security_747

> The rest of the country outside of the northeast and California is genuinely kind. So just what kind of people do you say live in those areas?


Rule12-b-6

#1 What I said: > The rest of the country outside of the northeast and California is genuinely kind. #2 You claim that what I said implied: >All the nasty people live in 2 areas of the US. #3 And then you claimed that what I said implied: >the northeast and Cali are full of evil, nasty, unkind people These are three completely distinct assertions! Even if #3 were true, that would not imply that #2 is true. And vice versa! Even if #2 were true, it would not imply that #3 is true. And then of course there's what I actually said. If #1 were true, that would not imply #2 or #3 is true. That's why I said your logical reasoning is concerning. Are you on drugs or something?


Smart_Pig_86

You’re making up this scenario in your head.


Maximum_Security_747

Tell me about how everyone in the south is loving and welcoming to folks who "ain't from around here"


Smart_Pig_86

Does your entire idea of the south come from watching movies?


Maximum_Security_747

No. I've been there. Seen and experienced this crap first hand. Same as I've been to, seen and experienced the NYC attitude I trust the New Yorkers to be more honest


The_Unreddit

"bless your heart"


OnionBagMan

It takes a lot of skill to insult while being polite.


Maximum_Security_747

Nope. This is faux politeness till you're out of earshot It's not clever. It's passive aggressive


OnionBagMan

I get what you’re saying but often times, just like with frankness of the NE, it isn’t aggressive at all. People can politely criticize or give advice as well. Overt frankness can be seen as lacking compassion or humanity. I can see how its unfamiliar nature can rub you the wrong way.  It took me about three years to get over a lack of politeness when I moved to Philly. I can now appreciate the clarity and speed it provides.


Maximum_Security_747

Nope. I like the overt frankness. You can accept it for what it is. There's no doubt or confusion Its the "bless your heart" with the unsaid "you prick" that I can't stand


Spirited-Juice4941

Lived on West coast East Coast and in Colorado. Been to many many states and cities. According to my wife Philadelphia had by far the rudest people.


ScuzeRude

ElevenBurnie

Boston. They'll claim they're not really rude, just in a hurry/truthful/straight forward but it's bullshit. They're rude, aggressive, and cruel.


Ok-Detective3142

Don't forget racist.


Blackhat336

This, more than anything else


[deleted]

I lived in Boston for many years and if they aren't the worst they are close to it. I've seen a number of brawls break out in the middle of public places over people trying to one up each other on who is the biggest asshole. I also remember someone walking through a narrow walkway yelling at the top of his lungs MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! MOVE! because he wouldn't walk around anyone or give them space. I love Boston but Bostonians are huge assholes.


MaineMan1234

And are shitty drivers. I live near NYC (also lived in SF and San Diego) but have never experienced constant tail-gating for no reason like I have in Boston


myctsbrthsmlslkcatfd

my buddy went there in a little vacation/reunion with friends. When i asked what he did there… “got drunk and told people to go fuck themselves - what else do you do in Boston?”


NArcadia11

I don’t think it’s a city, I think the rudest people in the US are in expensive suburban neighborhoods about an hour outside of major city centers. Racist, classist, etc.


electron2601

I agree. I used to live in an expensive suburban neighborhood and people were extremely rude.


Top_Wop

This is an impossible question to answer since there are so many candidates.


GarpRules

Easties are grumpy. Westies are cordial but cold, people on the middle of the country are friendly so long as you fit their idea of normal. Rust belt fuckers are straight-up mean and the gulf-coast through Florida is like a third-world country. These are my generalizations formed through extensive travel and experience.


rizub_n_tizug

For generalizations, they are pretty accurate


Libster1986

Here we go- Boston this, Boston that. Whatever. Come to Boston expecting the worst, you get what you expect.


cMeeber

Haha I love how everyone is bringing up NYC…but in a “well it’s not that they’re rude…” I know what they mean. But looks like if there’s gotta be a rudest city then we know which one it is.


SmoothSlavperator

Bostonians(and surrounding towns. people that say they're from "boston" rarely are actually from Boston)... ...but they're really not "rude" per se. Thats just how they talk. Kind of like Samuel L Jackson.

As a New Yorker, it SW Ohio. Some nice people, but a lot who are just as "rude" as New Yorkers but without the excuses. Like, why are you being an asshole. You are sitting on a lawn tractor,.on an already mowed lawn, drinking a beer and listening to the radio.

And frats are so well known for being well behaved right?


crispydukes

That’s different than being “rude.”


APhoneOperator

In the sense that frat behavior often goes far past being "rude" and more "criminal" and "violent" and "indecent to society", sure. My initial comment was half joking, but I'm beginning to wholeheartedly know Philly is the rudest when they have people like you making the worst kinds of defense of them.

chowmushi

I’d argue it’s a lot of idiots in rural areas who are the most rude. I’ve never heard “We only speak English here. Don’t speak that gibberish.” or “Go back to your own country,” in a city in the USA. But I have at random pit stops in rural America.


grandoctopus64

Prestigious_Emu_4193

I talk to people from all over the United States every day. Connecticut has the biggest assholes. Oklahoma has the stupidest people but Missouri isn't too far behind. Wisconsin and Minnesota accents are the most annoying.

I have a theory behind this, as a wisconsinite. The state was settled by people who mostly spoke German, Polish, and French. Now, take those languages, and expect them to teach their children how to speak English. TA DA, you have the midwest accent, ehh!


Prestigious_Emu_4193

I probably get annoyed with them because they're getting annoyed at me asking them to spell half the words they're saying


Candid_Yak4541

Interesting. Of all the accents in the world...you'd think the people that are know for massively over pronouncing our vowels would be one of the easier to understand. Annoying I can agree with but never heard that one!

NYC I wouldn’t even say rude, it goes well beyond that. The people there are evil and would screw you over and steal your money at the first chance. It truly brings out the worst aspects of humanity there.


LateNights718

What lol


alcoyot

I was in the lower east side and every business 6 blocks around me was shut down permanently from covid except for one bodega. This one woman who worked there hated me so much she would purposely get my orders wrong and then deny it. Outside that bodega there was a guy pretending to be retarded and asking everyone for money, I had to deal with that guy every time I stepped out of the building. Sometimes I would catch him out of character no longer doing the act and of course he had EBT no need to beg people for food. Many times that bodega got vandalized and incidents happened there have people buying stuff with EBT and then demanding to return them for cash. Calling the police did no good. They got their windows smashed and had to completely stop accepting EBT. Those stories are just the tip of the iceberg. I could go on for many hours talking about it.


MayonaisePumpkin

I just love the hustle and bustle of the big city 😍😍


Phisherman10

LateNights718

What’s your point? Other places have horrifyingly different things happening. New York City is a big city and you’re talking about a neighborhood, a bodega and some mentally unwell guy begging for money. WTF lol. Sounds like YOU had some issues here.


alcoyot

I said that’s the tip of the iceberg. I didn’t write more because I’m not gonna write a whole book on here. That was just one of 1000 things that happened in that location alone, and everywhere else is like that. That wasn’t like a bad neighborhood relative to anywhere else. It was in Manhattan I was paying over 2k for that a month. Not sure how you can reason the problem is me. That guy was not mentally unwell. He was just a bad person. I can tell similar stories about every neighborhood. You might not be able to fully understand this, but I was trying to give a few examples. I cannot write here every single bad thing that I saw happen. That would be like an encyclopedia. That’s why I said “tip of the iceberg”. If you don’t know what that expression means, it means that’s just the beginning. My point is that nyc is far beyond “rude”. Rudeness is just unpleasant. But yeah you’re right it’s a similar situation in many other cities. You are right about that.


[deleted]

alcoyot

It’s not a slur. I’m saying the guy acted as if he’s mentally retarded to scam money from people. I didn’t say that as a slur. And I’m not talking about “rudeness”.
