The World's Rudest Nations for Travelers.

The travel search site Skyscanner.com surveyed its users about where the locals never smile and people are particularly unfriendly, and the nation with the most votes for rudest locals was…

Wait for it…

France (félicitations, mes amis!), followed by Russia. The survey received over 1,200 responses, 65 percent from the UK and Ireland, plus elsewhere in Europe, North America and Australia.

The World's Rudest Nations for Travelers

1. France 2. Russia 3. United Kingdom 4. Germany 5. Other

Rounding out the top five rudest countries were the U.K., Germany and “Other” (those Others are the worst, don’t you think?). The U.S. placed 7th, behind China.

A man at the airline counter tells the rep. “I’d like this bag to go to Berlin, this one to California, and this one to London.

The man replied: Nonsense. That is what you did last time I flew with you.
