For those who travel often, experiencing cultural mismatches can be common. Even among cities in the same country, there are differences in local traditions, behaviors, mannerisms, and sayings that can affect our opinions of a place. Preply surveyed over 1,500 residents of the 30 largest metropolitan areas to find the rudest cities in the U.S. and Phoenix ranks in the Top 15 rudest cities in the U.S.
• Phoenix ranked as the 11th rudest city in America with an average rudeness score of 5.22 (on a scale of 1-10).
• The behaviors Phoenix residents were most bothered by were people being totally absorbed by your phone and not letting others merge in front.
• Phoenix residents were asked to rank who is more rude in their experience, natives or transplants. By a wide-margin, Phoenix residents said transplants were more rude than natives (74% vs. 26%).
• Phoenix ranked #3 in cities with rudest transplants.
We surveyed over 1,500 residents of the 30 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. and asked them about the rudeness level of their city, including the prominence of certain typically rude behaviors, to help travelers determine what to expect when visiting. Respondents also answered questions about cultural differences abroad.
