BOSTON — Boston ranks among the rudest cities in America, according to a new survey.
Preply says it surveyed over 1,500 residents of the 30 largest metropolitan areas in the United States and asked them about the rudeness level in their city.
Philadelphia, Memphis, New York City, Las Vegas, and Boston stood out as the top five rudest places, according residents who were surveyed.
The most common rude behavior in Boston is said to be drivers not slowing down around pedestrians. Boston was also dinged for locals not acknowledging strangers.
“In Boston, you’re likely to encounter cars not slowing down around pedestrians and residents not acknowledging strangers,” Preply wrote in its report.
More polite cities seem to be concentrated in the southern, midwestern, and western parts of the United States, with a noticeable lack of Northeastern cities, according to the survey.
