DC ranked #5 for rudest cities

[Anonymous]

I don't like all of the profanity either. It is PWT to me and nouveau riche. I think people have gotten ruder everywhere. I'm from OH and people used to be really nice there. My sister says it's not that way there anymore.

I really think if people act in a nice way -- they're more likely to be treated nicer. I realize people can be perfectly nice though and have someone "road rage" them right off the road.

You could always fuck off back there then.

I just find that nasty. do you people really talk this way at home, with your husbands and friends, in front of your kids, etc? different world I guess ... speaking of "trash"

This is hardly only a Washington thing ... more like a Northeast thing. I drop the F bomb all the time and think nothing off it. That said, of course I don't say it in front of my kids. Tool.

ITA. I use the F word 1,000,000 times more since I moved here from the south.

hey, sticks and stones and all that. but personally, we don't talk that way at home (even just the spouses and not in front of our kids) nor at work. I find it lower class and off-putting. but not like I am going to run from the room holding my fingers in my ears, but it is a turnoff. and no, I am not a big God-Squader ...

I, too, am clutching my pearls in outrage.

I'm the PP. and no, not a southern church lady but a 41 year old male who is used to locker room talk. it is a turn-off to me about this area. I've worked in law firms where you would think the lawyers (male and female) just got out of the marine corp. I think its low class, but agree that it is part of certain corporate cultures and you tend to adapt to your culture to fit in. my wife has said the f word maybe once in five years.

Will you consider divorce if she starts using the f word regularly?

My first reaction OP, how did it not get #1?!?!?!

This list has got to be all wrong.

I'm surprised a local hasn't chimed in with NYC yet. They really have it for NYC LOL!

Next time, if DCUMis read, DC will be #1.

Yikes! I've lived in 4 of the top 5 places! I don't think of DC as overly rude but clearly my barometer must be off because I thought the same in the other cities.

Oh stop being so goddamned sensitive.

Whether you like it or not, your words and behavior are a reflection of your mother and father.

"From the south" is hardly a barometer/measuring stick/what have you of what is rude, imo.

I think it's fair to say that most middle to upper class women in the south don't drop the F word often. In fact, no one I work with of any age uses that word.
