I am a native New Yorker and never have been rude to a tourist, shopkeeper or anyone else in all my life

I haven't been to NYC in a long time (20 years or so), but when I did go the New Yorkers did appear to be incredibly rude pretty much across the board. However, I have a theory that New Yorkers have no idea that they are being rude. They think they are just being regular people, but most of the rest of the country has a much different standard of behavior. One of the things I noticed right away was how incredibly LOUD all the New Yorkers were.

The problem with New York City is that unlike LA and San Francisco, New York can not be destroyed totally by an earth quake

Don't be too sure of that. The Ramopo Fault could trigger a 6 or 7 magnitude earthquake through New York. There have been 5's, but a big one could happen.

ROFL!!!

I LOVE southerners and mid west folks.

It is NOT lost on me that my state brings the senate count DOWN and not up and that sick abortion laws are being passed and it’s time to pack up and go to PA.

But I DID LOVE working in Manhattan under Rudy’s regime.

And I WAS SHOCKED by all the help I got the other night.

Mostly poor and TOUGH neighborhoods. Maybe they’re nicer than the rich SNOBS in NYC.

It was all in jest...THE SOUTH AND THE MID WEST ARE WHAT MAKES AMERICA GREAT!!

AND SOME OF THE MOST BRILLIANT PEOPLE I’VE TALKED TO ARE FROM THOSE PLACES.

And I CRIED when the statues came down. BUT THEY CAN BE PUT BACK UP!!

Take it to the SC!!

GOD BLESS THE HEARTLAND!!

And Merry Christmas Everybody.

Everyone here knows i’m insane anyway so the rants should never be taken personally :)

I was born in NYC and lived in the Bronx as did all my cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Sisters and Brothers.

I believe I can speak for New Yorkers when I say the top 3 responses when informed they were considered the rudest.

In order of frequency those responses would be:

“I got your rude right here (grabs genitals)

“Rude THIS! (grabs genitals)

“Yer mama”

“...I noticed right away was how incredibly LOUD all the New Yorkers were.”

I visited the old neighborhood in Brooklyn where my parents lived when they came from Italy. Many of the interlopers from parts unknown had signs in front of their homes that said, “No loud talking’. They did not realize that they moved to a working class Italian-American neighborhood where “loud talking” was a common occurrence.

Pennsylvanians are mostly rude, grumpy, and unfriendly.

That's the truth! From our corporate office in Michigan, I had to deal with the ex-employees and retirees from our closed stamping plant in Philadelphia. Literally every single person I had the displeasure of speaking with all had a pissed off attitude, even if they were trying to sound friendly. When I answered the call line, I could tell immediately they were from Philadelphia........

And to show I'm not biased, when my counterpart from the Philadelphia plant came up to our corporate office, I took him out on the town. After I got him REALLY drunk, that was the only time he lightened up and started laughing and joking.......I still can't figure out how he got back to his hotel..........LOL!

Agreed. When I was trucking the lower 48 I found people from PA to be the nastiest and coldest. NY and NJ are the most agressive.

Rudest?

They must be thinking about the NYC labor union members.

I used to think that, but a visit to them demonstrated otherwise on many occasion. They may be firm and express their convictions, but we have some truly rude a-holes from coast to coast, including flyover country. Also, best not to paint with wide brushes.

The snottiest people I ever met were lefties in Marin County and West LA.

New Yorkers run the full spectrum from great to awful.
