It's is a cultural thing. Its the culture of rural America.
Generally all big city's suffer from rudeness. There was an actual study done of several city's in America where they put up a camera with a grid and measured how fast pedestrians walked from one side of the view to the other. There was a direct correlation between population density and how fast people walked. You see the same thing with driving and talking. I am over a Purchasing department and I had to implement what I coin the New Jersey rule. We never do business with any company from NJ. They protest every bid they loose and threaten to take you court. Bunch of ass wipes every one in every case, just look at their fat ass governor for a perfect example.

Just as mentioned, I dealt with a NJ company in my current job and dealt with a nasty Executive who threatened to take me to court if I didn’t fix his software problem this instant. He threatened both criminal charges and civil suit. A lot of times, I look at tickets I get assigned and I cringe when I see an area code that points to New Jersey.

Unfortunately, I cannot setup the ticketing software where I cannot take tickets that are customers who are in NJ. And the time of my shift, I end up getting a lot of tickets where the customer is in the US Northeast with a majority in NY/NJ, MA, CT and Wash DC area.
