The Magic City, Miami has a rep for being beautiful, sunny, vibrant with colors and apparently...rude.

Among the behaviors highlighted were a lack of self-awareness, talking on speakerphones in shared spaces, ignoring strangers, showing indifference to others, being impolite to service staff, and not letting others merge in traffic. Yup, that is all so true. Locals agree with the lack of self-awareness in public, loudness in shared spaces, rudeness towards service workers, and a general absence of friendliness. Issues like disregarding personal space and hygiene also made the list of grievances.

The survey also revealed an intriguing divide within the city itself. Nearly 90 percent of residents feel that those living in downtown Miami and Brickell are less courteous compared to their suburban counterparts in Hialeah or Miami Lakes. If you’re quick to pin this rudeness on the influx of post-pandemic transplants, think again. The survey found that 54 percent of Miamians believe that longtime residents are ruder than the newcomers.

This study also says Omaha, Minneapolis, and San Diego as the cities with the nicest residents.
