A study conducted by Men's Health magazine has found that Orlando, Fla., ranks No. 1 on a list of the angriest cities in the nation.
"Orlando has never been a strategic military target, and yet the folks there are furious," the magazine said.
The magazine looked at the percentage of men with high blood pressure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and FBI rates for aggravated assaults, as well as workplace deaths from assaults and other violence.
Those numbers were compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Traffic congestion data were also a factor.
Orlando was joined in the top 10 by three other Florida cities -- St. Petersburg, Miami and Jacksonville.
Top 10 Angriest Cities
1. Orlando, Fla.
2. St. Petersburg, Fla.
3. Detroit
4. Baltimore
5. Nashville, Tenn.
6. Wilmington, Del.
7. Miami
8. Memphis, Tenn.
9. Jacksonville, Fla.
10. St. Louis

So cities with a high percentage of elderly men make the list.
This is a poor indicator of "angry".
Perhaps a better title might be "The 100 cities where you are most likely to be yelled at to 'Get off my lawn'"
Hey, Pittsburghers are just a buncha happy go lucky jagoofs at #90....
I wonder how these cities lay in the Gore/Bush election map?
How can Nashville be ranked as one of the top five friendliest cities, and also as one of the top 5 angriest cities? Geeez...
Grand Rapids at 38?!?!?! ROFLMAO!!! That's why I moved. LOL!
I would rather drive in Houston than Nashville, traffic moves in Houston and it sits in Nashville.
Traffic sat when I lived in Nashville in the 1970s and I am sure some of the same cars were sitting there when I last past through in 1999.
Same reason (in opposite) that Detroit is #3. Detroit is FILLED with southerners who flocked to Michigan from the 1920s to the 1970s.
Where do you think all the blacks and white trash in Detroit came from? I'll tell you - from Mississippi, from Georgia, from Alabama, from North & South Carolina and from Louisiana. That's where they came from.
Thanks a lot rebs!!
Other than Salt Lake City are there any Red cities?
Chicago has a good excuse for being the fattest. There are scads of great restaurants with inexpensive food and they serve portions which could feed a family.
As long as you don't move our breweries or steal all of the slot machine money or hand yourself midnight pay raises, we're cool.

"What do I know, I work for a mouse?"
Pittsburgh!! No. 90!!!!
Interesting that NYC didn't make the list.....Hmmm.
This is just plain funny.
Of COURSE Dallas is angrier than Houston. It sucks and knows it. :)
Expect Long Delays...
I believe Paula refers to Ben "Don't Need No Helmet" Roethlisberger.
You order a salad and it comes with french fries on it.
What's to be angry about?
We also get to make Pittsburgh lefts.

No - their angry citizens relocated to the top 100 angriest cities.
