I never thought I'd be defending NYC, but I can say that though my family vacation there was the worst we ever had to the point of being hilarious 20 years later, not a bit of it was because anyone was rude to us. In Iowa (different awful vacation) they did tell my family to go back where we came from and my parents got freaked about how a bunch of backwater yokels knew they were ex-Soviet citizens who ran from the regime until they realized our family car had California plates.

Which brings me to my next point: LA is not rude. No more so than anywhere else. Especially the drivers; I've lost count of how many people -- especially those from out of the country -- who visited us talked about how polite LA drivers are, in the sense that they know how to drive. They let you into a lane, they use their signal lights, and they come to a full stop at red lights. You want to see rude driving try any place where people only started being able to afford cars in the past 20 years. I've got white hairs from my last visit.

Finally, fwiw, I have never seen a pedestrian here get honked at for any reason other than the driver was warning them that they were in danger (which is what the horn is for). Maybe now and again someone gets honked at because they scared a driver so bad they leaned on the horn automatically. The last time I got honked at while walking was because I was day dreaming and crossed a street on a green arrow instead of a green light and could have been killed if the drivers hadn't leaned on their horns and caught my attention.

I live in Iowa, and I feel like I should apologize on behalf of my state now. Yeesh. Sorry your family had to deal with that.

I agree with you about people in New York City. My school choir took a trip there in 10th grade and the people we encountered weren't rude at all. In a bit of hurry to get where they were going, perhaps (which is understandable, given how busy that city tends to be), but certainly not rude :).
