Since we just had the friendliest, let’s look at the opposite. Not exactly the one with the rudest locals but the unfriendliest, be it scams, pickpockets, aggressive touts, unfriendly environment, or bad service.

America, by far, and that’s from someone living here. I’ve been to England, France, Germany, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Italy, Belgium, Netherlands, Iceland, Mexico, Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Canada, and probably a couple others I can’t remember. I’ve been treated nothing but friendly, with genuine curiosity, even when I shouldn’t have been.
Every day in the US, someone swears at me.
I generally don’t get why swearing is apparently so normalised in the USA. At least in US-made content (from films to books to music to internet posts, everything) the word “fuck” is being used so frequently.
As a British dude I hate America the city’s are all full of rude self obsessed people
To be fair a lot of us in the rural areas are insufferable self-absorbed douches as well.
When city people are rude to you it’s fine because you can just move on to someone else. In rural areas if someone is rude to you suddenly everyone they know is also rude to you and then the whole community and pretty soon the only way to avoid being ground into mincemeat by the rural redneck hate industrial complex is to leave the area and return to the nearest city before you lose your mind trying to comprehend those sorry excuses of human waste and what goes on in between each of their two brain cells.
Just came back from Jeddah airport in Saudi Arabia to LAX. The Saudi airport staff and Saudia airline crew are both very helpful and friendly, and once I landed in lax the mood completely changed, it felt like that the immigration people hated to have me back into their country ;)
It feels that way returning as a US citizen too…
Agreed (as an American). Even Saudi Arabia has more hospitable people
I’m not American, I’ve visited many countries, and I agree.
