  1. Yahoo News had an op/ed piece that listed the French as the rudest travelers (they even scored as rudest among their own countrymen as domestic tourists).  I couldn't seem to locate the article though when I did a search.

    I did, however, come across many people who said that US tourists were seen in a poor light due to being "fake."  In defense of my countrymen, we are taught always to be polite to others and that this is a sign of good manners and a proper upbringing.  Americans tend to believe that engaging in pleasant conversation with strangers (what we call chit chat or small talk) is a way of doing this.  People from other cultures often hear our friendly banter and mistakenly assume that we ACTUALLY intend to have a life long relationship with the individual at the other end of the conversation due to this instant friendliness and rapport.  This is a misperception on the non-American's part.  We in no way intend to be "fake" in our interest.  It's just that if we were to ignore you, in our culture, it would be the height of rudeness.

    Anyway, sorry for the tangent, but it's always bothered me that Americans get this bad wrap.


  2. france

  3. I've been all over the world and people from NYC are the rudest and most selfish .Only  my opinion, but I'm a Bostonian so I'm biased

  4. I honestly think any answer is just going to be a matter of opinion.

    It will be interesting to see others answers though!
