I was in NYC and stopped to look at a bookstore display. A guy walking behind me started screaming at me.

I was driving through Newberry, SC when I stopped to put gas in the car and accidentally locked myself out. The people at the gas station first tried to help me pop the lock on the car door, and when that didn't work, one googled USAA's phone number and lent me her cell phone so I could call my insurance and have a mechanic come out. Without them I would have been up a creek.

Yeah, people who scream at you aren't doing it because they feel they have the right to treat other people that way, they do it because they're crazy. And crazy tends to flock to cities.

Oh, yeah, don't get me wrong, I've met nice people all over the US! My family drives all over America (usually to Florida) from Toronto to go on vacations because my mom hates flying.

One time in ... one of the Carolinas, I think? We'd just gotten off the highway to get some gas and this guy walked up to me & my sister solely to make some incredibly racist comments about the people who worked there. I think he genuinely was attempting to be friendly to us, at least, but. Yeeeaah.

Something common I've noticed about the US in general is that there are incredibly aggressive religious billboards absolutely everywhere.

Oh, yeah. And when my family lived in Nebraska, I also remember seeing a LOT of anti-abortion billboards along the highways.

I'm a NYC native and that guy walking behind you probably screamed at you because he had to get somewhere and you just stopped dead at the display. We got places to go, people to see, things to do. We don't like slow people or people that aren't moving. Get out of our way. ;)

New Yorkers are infamous for disliking tourists who do this, especially tourists who walk too slowly, stop and stare at things while blocking sidewalk traffic, etc. You're sightseeing, but they're just trying to get to work on time. The next time you're trying to be on time for a job you loathe, imagine some person meandering slowly in front of you, then stopping dead in your path, and you'll get the idea.

The thing people who don't live in NYC don't understand is that, in this city, the sidewalks are the main way to get places.

Would you stop your car short to look at something on the side of the road, not caring about the people behind you or if they're trying to get somewhere on time? I assume you wouldn't. In a city like NYC, where walking is integral to getting anywhere, don't do that on the sidewalk either. Check that there's no one right behind you then swiftly move as far to the side as you can so they can pass you easily. It's much more polite.

The thing is, NYC isn't particularly rude, it just has different rules, and people who don't know those rules see the people trying to follow them as rude.

Also, we have a HIGH concentration of crazy people. So make sure the person is actually rude and not just nuts.

This, but change it to center city Philadelphia. I had to take the train into Philadelphia once a month to see a specialist and people kept stopping dead to take pictures of random buildings. It started to get to the point where I wanted to freak out on people. I settled for a loud EXCUSE ME.

Fucking tourists with selfie sticks.
