I live in California. My state ranks third on the list of states with the rudest people. You can read this article – or not. I don't really care. And if you have any opinions about this article, keep 'em to yourself and don't bother me.
Based on survey data from Clever and YouGov, New York, New Jersey, California, Texas, and Florida are the states Americans most often associate with rude behavior. The ranking is more about reputation, pace, and first impressions than a verdict on actual kindness.
