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.

StLouis top ten ping!!!
This just p*sses me off!!
1. Orlando, Fla. ... isn't that the home of Mickey Mouse??
My hometown of Wilmington, DE is number 6? That's interesting.
Florida has four of the Top 9?
So much for easy southern livin' .....
Get thee to the sticks, fellow FReepers!
Why isn't Detroit #1-10?
Too many tourists in Orlando?
It would have been, but four of the ten researchers didn't make it out alive.
That top ten list looks like a list of Democrat "hell holes."
It's the yankees that moved South. No wonder everybodys p.o.ed.
Cincy does not make me angry, but I am a little "put out" by all the crap that goes on here. Besides, the Bengals may make the playoffs again!
I know what would cheer them up. Let's play "It's a Small World" even louder.
If you hadn't noticed Wilmington, DE is where so many credit card companies are based these days. I think that pretty much explains all the anger. hee hee
When tend to make the playoffs .. but then choke
Which in turn, makes angry fans
But yet we are #27
I want a recount
