Which City do you think is the most Polite?

[redmarvel]

Readers Digest recently did a survey to try to figure out which City worldwide was the most polite. Before you view the top 3 (and #1 surprised me), which ones did you find the most polite and why?

Spoiler

6. Zagreb, Croatia
5. Sao Paulo, Brazil
4. Berlin, Germany
3. Toronto, Ontario, Canada
2. Zurich, Switzerland
1. New York City, NY, USA

a place that made being rude a part of its character and charm. It makes you wonder what Archie Bunker would say about that.

lol.... the papers yesterday declared that NYC is the politest city in all the world through an independent study.

Yes we're polite... suck it up you ****ing bastards.

I've never been to New York

New York is actually very polite, so is Boston. Now get moving you stinking rat bastards, I have a f***ing meeting in twenty minutes.

LMAO! The people at Reader's Digest need to put down the crack pipe.

Atlanta..the city too busy to hate.

 

[Mr. Thing]

The only place out of those I've ever been to was Toronto, and I agree, they're really polite.

You're kidding right. I have a whole bunch of friends in Atlanta and visit quiet a bit. I imagine Buckhead is pretty nice, but the actual city clears out at about 6pm (when everyone leaves from work). It is pretty much all business and no real amenities in the center of Atlanta. All the deli's closed down on the weekends on the streets I was on, there were a lot of restaurant's surrounding the hotels but that is it. It is actually a very dangerous city at night.

Unless you are wearing the other city's baseball cap in town

Washington DC is really nice too...mainly because everyone who lives there is from somewhere else and they understand visitors and newbies.

I'd rather walk through Atlanta at night than say, Chicago or Philadelphia. In fact, I have done so.

London was 15th and Inda was last "Get out of the way! thank you come again!"

Any city in Texas. Especially Dallas and Austin.

Tis true. I would also include most communities in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Oklahoma...it's that midwestern friendliness

Chicago is actually more polite than NYC I would think. I guess these people are just going to the nice areas of NYC apparantly.

[Abaddon]

We're polite as long as you stay out of our ****ing way.

 

[ReTrO JuNkIe 42]

I'm from here (NYC) and i find that shocking

 

[SuperFerret]

NYC is #1. Wow, I am surprised. Not that New Yorkers aren't polite, we are (for the most part), but that we were put on the top of a list by a supposedly world-wide survey.

And for those who are still under the impression that New Yorkers are rude, remember this, most of the time, our rudeness is justified.

with a population of 8 Million and around 3,000,000 additional people going in and around NY everyday... sometimes we have to push people away to get some air.

fact.. around 82 people populate the average city in the U.S... per mile.... in ny that number is 72,000.

Something to think about.

And the population volume is greater than that in tourist heavy areas, like Times Square.
