Yet aGain, Mississippi is 50th

[HammerOfTheDogs]

Least rudest State in the Union

 

[Dawgbite]

I’ve never been to Rhode Island but I can confirm Massachusetts.

 

[QuadrupleOption]

The Massholes will be pissed that they aren't #1.

 

[OopsICroomedmypants]

You can actually see the trail of egress coming from California across the country. ETA, what's up with North Carolina? I didn't know they sucked so bad.

 

[00Dawg]

Honestly, in my two visits to LA, I was shocked at how few people honked in that nasty traffic, and I didn't even get a sideways glance going to the Dodgers game in Braves gear. Totally different feel than I expected.

North Carolina is #48. You must mean Virginia. Having lived there for 10 years, it's all the as$holes in the DC area.

I just think people do it on purpose now. No way MS is the "rudest state". It's not possible.

 

[Crucifictorious]

I've met some Rhode Islanders who alone could have affected their ranking.

I think you misread the chart.

 

[thatsbaseball]

I think you misread the chart.

Well we are probably 50th in reading comprehension....so there is that **

 

[DoggieDaddy13]

MS is the least rude. Good chart to be 50 on.

However, having lived and worked in both the midwest, northeast, and CA, I can attest the people are meaner outside of Mississippi....

but, at least they're honest about it.

 

[SchrodingersDawg]

That pretty much tracks with my life and travel experiences. I'm headed to CA tomorrow for 5 days so, ruh roh... Though I will be in a nicer part of CA.

 

[golferdog]

I think you misread the chart.

I did, I automatically assumed it meant MS was the worst. Jumped the gun.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

So basically rudeness rank map is the opposite of wealth…

I hope this doesn't turn into some full fledged politics ****-flinging competition.... but folks, that's a voting lines map. The states who are comfortable importing cultures vs the states who are not.

Anomalies to that statement might be Utah and Minnesota.

 

[DawgsGoneWild]

Was in Rhode Island in May for a week. Nicest people I’ve been around as a group in quite a while. Would move there for sure

I haven't had a lot of good experiences in Virginia either. Whoooooole lotta folks there who think they hit a home run and started on 3rd.

 

[QuaoarsKing]

Utah being red makes me think this chart is made up

I currently live in VA but in the Shenandoah Valley area and Richmond before that. It's 100% the DC area that would give it the #2 ranking.

100% this. No 17n way this chart is legit with where it has Utah.

I'm not following how it's a voting lines map? Some of the most politically different states are clustered very closely in rankings. At a close glance, it appears there may be some correlation between states that have a higher rates of new-comers and rudeness. That starts falling apart pretty quickly when you consider Texas, Arizona, Nevada, the Carolinas are some of the fastest growing states and Illinois and Ohio are losing people.

Also I'm not sure how you rank something as subjective as "rude". Obviously some things are objectively rude to everyone. However if a new person is quiet and not engaging OR alternatively very loud and asking lots of personal questions, to one person that's a blessing and to another it's extremely off-putting. A car horn can be aggressively rude to one person, another might be glad somebody let them know the light is green.

 

[Curby]

MS used to be the most charitable state, but then fell down the list a bit after Covid, I think.

 

[DenisThatcher]

How can three states be ranked #18 (Florida, Georgia, Iowa)? Think we need a tie breaker.

 

[Walkthedawg]

North Carolina is #48. You must mean Virginia. Having lived there for 10 years, it's all the as$holes in the DC area.

Yea. The geographic top 1/8th of that state gives the rest a bad name. Full of "I know what's best for you so shut up and sit down" types.

 

[DerHntr]

I’d like to see that chart based on customer service

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

I have always thought rudeness goes along with population concentration. When you get in crowded situations and have to stand in line and stay in traffic for everything, you tend to have your patience tested. Becomes easier to become rude. NYC is totally different than Cooperstown in NY.

Yes, there is a certain level of 'coldness' you must develop in urban areas.

However there is another skill that is better developed in rural areas, and that is the art of conversation in general. You see the same people over and over and over, you have to obtain a certain level of social skills to do that.

You will never be accused of cartophilia.

That same conversation happens amongst groups of people in NY. Those people you see often have the same conversations. The difference is It's harder to break into the group in urban situations where in more rural areas they are more accepting of new folks.

I was gonna post the same thing. They may believe crazy stuff but mormons are the nicest people in the world. Maybe tied w canadians?
Georgia is an interesting one too but I don't have much experience there.

 

[Pilgrimdawg]

I’ve never been to Rhode Island but I can confirm Massachusetts.

Rhode Island isn’t even an island so you can’t expect much out of them.

 

[Faustdog]

Least rudest State in the Union

Have they driven through Flowood on Lakeland? Scrolling your phone while blocking traffic must not be considered rude.

I agree. One of the nicest and most beautiful girl I ever dated was from Rhode Island. Surveys like this map definitely should be taken with a grain of salt.
