We have coffee, rain, traffic, and apparently some of the rudest people in America.
According to survey in Travel and Leisure Magazine, Seattle is ranked number 16 in a list of the country's 20 rudest cities. The magazine recommends striking up a conversation at Pike Place Market, which is actually Washington state's number one tourist destination meaning you'll probably be talking with an outsider.
Cities ruder than Seattle included Chicago, Phoenix, Atlanta, Dallas, Las Vegas, and Miami. Los Angeles beat out Boston and New York for the top spot. People in Seattle are nicer than those in Anchorage, Houston, and Santa Fe.
So what makes a city rude? Travel and Leisure says congestion. The more people crammed into a space, the uglier the attitude.
You can practically smell the smugness in that hellhole of a city.

Say WA? Evergreen State ping “16” with a bullet (Ooh, can I say that?!)
How in the hell did San Francisco not make it to #1 on that list. If you have not been there, I have never been in a more hateful place EVER and I’m from LA and we all know the reputation they have. The people in SF are the most mean, rude and hateful people I have ever had the misfortune of being around. There are the ever so few exceptions. It’s a shame that all of the beauty of that city is being wasted on such hateful evil people.
Where’s Ann Arbor?
Another stupid list: How does one define “rude”? I mean objectively and measurably.
Not surprised LA is #1. The few times I’ve been to Seattle the people actually seemed pretty nice. But maybe that’s because I’m used to LA, so Seattlites seem nice in comparison!
It's the friendliest place I've ever been.
I've been in over 70 countries and most of these United States.
16?
That’s the best we could do?
Retards!
(Not us, THEM!!)
Not that I have any great love for Seattle, but coming in 16th for rudeness out of a list of what appears to be the 20 largest cities in the country isn’t bad.
“The more people crammed into a space, the uglier the attitude.”
Then Kansas City should rank as one of the friendliest cities ‘cause we’re really spread out! :-))))))))

Sorry for the double post, don’t know how that happened.
Sea-rat-hole. Libertards, feminazis, lesbian capital of the US, I’m surprised it’s not on the top of the list ?
I guess I need to change that since I just quit the plywood plant. But I don’t know how to adapt that phrase to particleboard (where I’m working now).
BTW, I grew up in Snohomish, and have lived many years in Seattle.
I've never noticed any directed unfriendliness.
