Zurich was number 2, and Toronto was number 3. I've been to all three of those cities in the last 2.5 years and I'd have to say that New York was the least polite of the three...

Last Sunday, my deaf friend explained about his experience in the Big Apple when he and his family traveled from Texas to the East Coast. He said that he and his wife had a very bad experience in a store; he even stated that the yellow cab drivers were ridiculous.

They are the most ridiculous people there.

This article is hilarious. Oh really, storekeepers in Moscow aren't polite to Americans? Very insightful.

And all this time I would've guessed Paris to be the most polite city.

36 cities in 35 countries means they could have tested 2 cities in America at most. Choosing New York just seems cliche. I think it would be interesting to test LA. Laid-back California meets the hustle and bustle of Hollywood...could be interesting.

I'm not saying LA is polite, cause they clearly aren't. Being from Seattle and going to school in California, I know that a lot of people think that Californianians are laid back and carefree, maybe meaning polite. I personally can't stand LA, except for the Riptide.

Haha, well that may be because more than 1/2 the inhabitants of California, and especially LA, are not from California.
