Don't know about you guys, but there are certain cities that just rubbed me the wrong way when I had to deal with the etiquette of the locals. In your own observation, what are you top three when it comes to rude behavior?
1. Cairo
2. Rio
3. Boston

I work with a few Chileans, and their cool guys, but they're dicks and trolls. I find it funny because they dont bother me, but they go out of their way to just cause all kinds of havoc.

I found Paris and it's inhabitants very rude. It didn't give me a good impression of France. And I am a easy going non confrontational type of cat.
I will give it another shot with my improved French but if I get another flop, I'll write France off.

Russia...and it's not even close. A country obsessed with elitism and class yet has none. Ironic.

Leningrad
London
Port Au Prince
I like Rio, been living here for 7 years. I liked the city of Leningrad but not the people, too pushy. As for London, it was the snobbish way they treated this yank, Port Au Prince, I just didn't like it.

I've never been to France, but the French I have met traveling have been by far the coldest, rudest, and most "stand-offish" of all the people I have met traveling. I also have heard from my brother and countless other people that Paris is the worst as far as rude people go, (unless you speak perfect French and love French culture).
As far as my experience, I'd say Moroccans were pretty unfriendly, but it probably doesn't help I'm from the U.S., also more than being unfriendly Moroccans are major scammers, even Moroccan American and other Arab friends admit this.
Aside from that, I did feel that on average the people in Rio were pretty unfriendly overall, although there were a few exceptions. Surprisingly the people I met from Sao Paulo were all really chill, cool, laid back, friendly and nice. Overall, other than Rio, I thought the Brazilians were super chill overall.
Jamaicans tend to split 50-50, sounds crazy but about half the Jamaicans I chilled with were super shady, unfriendly, confrontational, etc., and the other 50% were some of the coolest, nicest, most genuine people I've ever met in my life.
Friendliest people's I've encountered traveling:
Iranians,
Cambodians,
Brazilians,
Laotians,
Turks,
Belize

I have traveled to Paris numerous times and I do not know what the hype is about. The French went out of their way to help me, one even spoke perfect English and walked 5 minutes with me to show directions. They do drive recklessly though.
Most rude city has been NYC.

I keep reading all these different posts abour Rio and SP (and Brazil in general), how the people are rude, the girls don't like sex, no one is friendly, the nightlife isn't good, the cities are over-rated etc. This is parallel to my experiences of the country, I loved it more than any county I've ever been to despite not getting laid here as much as I did in other countries.

London
Venice
Bali
I think it comes down to personal experience though.I found Paris and New York really friendly while others above found them the opposite.I guess it proves the fishbowl theory.

People in New york and Boston are not rude if you know how to talk to them. They don't like to be Patronized with b.s greetings. Instead of "Hello how are you?" You say " The fuck"

Typical day in New England:
Go to work.
Co worker: Tsss
You: Ta fuck
Co worker: Asshole
This translates into good morning.
Then go to ethnic deli X or Dunkies for rolls and coffee and when you come back re-greet with:
I'm going to fuck that new girl at place x
Or.. I'm going to punch The (insert racial slur) guy in the face at the Deli.
Then work without talking much for a while...
Around eleven am....
You: The fucks for lunch homos?
Coworkers: Ahh Lets get (racial slur) ethnic food or Caliber of how much we hate the cheap bastard at lunch place X
Lunch talk...Hate on all the customers, clients and vendors..
After lunch...Racism..Hate on a certain race (usually blacks and PRs) even if you work with them they will join in..
Pussy time...Any claims that you did or have ever had sex will be denied unless its with a discusting prostitute or a fat drunk girl. Those are the only true stories that are worth listening to.
Around 3:30...Talk about how gay or retarded everybody is.
Quitting time..Make the most beta co-worker go get booze and have a few mixers or beer while pointing out any shortcomings or physical flaws of co-workers to their faces.
Depature: Ask who ever you want to meet after work which gay bar they are going to be at later...
