- Have you ever wondered what country travelers say has the rudest people? I did. I wish travel insurance covered a bad trip because people were rude.
So, I ran a survey and a poll to see what this channel's audience and tourists from around the internet felt was the rudest country. And when I say country, I mean the locals. Obviously, a country can't be rude. That won't stop people from leaving a comment about that.
Tourism accounts for a good portion of most economies. A lot of families and businesses depend on those tourism dollars. You'd think everyone would be on their best behavior. That isn't always the case. The countries on this list are the ones you guys felt had the rudest locals to the tourists.
Rude people and the worst countries to visit if you want to have a bad vacation.
Rudest people is obviously an opinion.
When traveling always get travel insurance.

The times I’ve visited the USA I’ve noticed they are either so friendly lovely or so disgustingly rude
There’s no middle point
Very true.
Listen I’m an American and that “friendliness” isn’t always genuine. What I mean by that is people here can be very two faced and gossipy. The excessive “hi how are you” and “have a good day” can feel very fake and generic.
I live here and that sounds exactly right!
@@greenlime1997 Another one is the fatal niceness of the "southern gentleman," a ruse to disarm strangers for later attention of the not so gentlemanly kind. Beware, traveler. There are monsters.
where exactly did you visit? texas is a lot different than california. and then even way different again if you think east coast.
I intentionally avoid rude people. I usually smile and make eye contact. If the person doesn’t at least match my energy I often don’t engage further. I try not to force things. This is important when traveling around the world or within USA 🇺🇸 being aware of our surroundings and feel the energy.
shallow zomby
rude countries: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, russia, Afghanistan, china, Cuba, most Latin countries, Mexico, Ukraine, Belarus, north Korea, Myanmar, Somalia, Iran, Pakistan, most Arabic countries and a lot of African countries.
polite countries: Japan, Taiwan, Israel, north western European countries, US, Canada, Australia, new Zealand!
moderate countries: south Asian except Pakistan, south east asian, south Korea, eastern and southern Europe, Turkey, central Asia except Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, some African and Latin countries, Pacific islanders.
What does "matching your energy" have to do with someone being rude or not? This has to be the silliest take on the matter I've ever read anywhere 😂
Prejudice against others has a lot to do with rudeness.
And always bear in mind that that works *_both ways._*

So where does the USA fall in that list?
I was a sailor for 40 years and have been around a good bit of the world. I have found rude people everywhere but far more nice people in the same places. You can't judge a country by an encounter with someone who was rude to you. Also, how do you know that person isn't having a really bad day? We've all been rude at some time in our lives. Just apologise for bothering the person and move on.
Exactly! I don`t like videos like this at all.
👍😍❤️
I can appreciate that attitude., Nicholas.
This comment should be the video
Agreed 100%
I am French. It feels really good to be number one in something. Thanks to all.
Tu ne trouves pas qu'il y a suffisamment de crétins Anglosaxons qui balancent leur vomi sur la France, sans en rajouter une couche ? Hallucinant, cette insupportable mentalité d'autoflagellation chez certains Français.
Yeah you guys are way ahead in this department. I think people there live their life trying to find a reason why they should be annoyed. 😂
I have to be honest I visited France (Paris) just a few years ago expecting everyone to be rude, but I found the French to be very nice.
Reminds me of those "BRASIL NUMERO 1" comments about Brasil having 60,000 murders.
Nah, the French are amateurs, I am the best at being rude. If rudeness were an Olympic sport, I would win Gold.
Im a kiwi living in Australia and Im in Rome right now. I have never experienced such rudeness in my life. I was trying to make my way from Rome Termini but all the gates were locked, there is no signage, so I went up to a "customer service" booth and the young woman in there actually yelled at me because I said all the gates are locked. Go down further she said, and rolled her eyes. I said to her "you don't need to be so rude, we are friendly to strangers in my country". Im sure she rolled her eyes again lol. But seriously it has been such a culture shock. No one smiles. Awful people.
I was in Russia in 2017 and didn’t have any problems. Several times local people helped me in directions. The first day in the Moscow subway system a little Russian grandmother showed me how to scan the ticket to go down to the trains. In the station I was reading the station name ( Cyrillic, none of this bilingual stuff ) A fellow came up and very friendly said, “You look like you’re lost. Where are you trying to go? I just got back from New York.” I’ve been in numerous countries and have found lots of helpful friendly people. In France, speak French, even if it isn’t perfect.
Long sentence ❤😊
Most rude people in the world are Mid East people morrocans and Turkisch maybe not in the country locally but everywhere else there rude and Rasist families
I, Dutch, totally agree with you on both countries.
« ‘Oh I’m a WHITEBOI! I’m whitey McWhite-White & I have a tiny little penis. I don’t understand why anyone else is complaining! & my new 22 yr old ‘wife’ has a $2 mill life insurance policy on my head. Wow, why does this coffee she made me taste weird? »
France, Italy, Russia, Switzerland and Luxembourg, these countries are actually very friendly, I I had a wonderful experience going there. I'm English
British people reporting themselves as the worst is the most British thing I've ever heard 😂😂
Well it’s not a secret. Whenever they travel they expand the empire
Seems like most of the British I have met over the years have been clinically depressed
@@hotelworker812 we’re not depressed it’s just our baseline involves a nice dose of apathy and cynicism
YEAH, but of course they hate most the French, old rivalries…
Yeeehaaa !! so proud to be a Brit'
I work at a supermarket in England. Yesterday an American woman slagged off my country because she couldn't find a 40th birthday card, then when I asked her where she is from she pointed to her shirt and "can you not read?" To which I replied "my shirt says Asda, but I wasn't born here". Her arrogance was just disgusting.
Yeah I’m an Airbnb host and hands down the Americans were the most rude and demanding. 2nd place is Chinese. But the arrogance of Americans was off the scale.
Yuck. I do think Americans are ruder than the British. Atleast that’s been my experience.
Yah, you just witness a Karen in her native habitat. Sorry about that.
😂
Yeah Americans get 1. place for entitlement! 😬🤐😶🌫️
Chinese people are not rude, they're actually really friendly but they might be a little more curious about foreigners bc of ignorance
Chinese like you as long as you have money. ;)
verry helpful for me!
Glad it helped!
My personal encounter with the locals of many countries has been quite pleasant, but I might be an outlier since: I don’t display public drunkenness, try to speak (even if limited) in the local language, smile and thank people for serving me. It doesn’t cost a dime and makes my travel much nicer.
Depends on the country you're traveling to, Male or female too. Sometimes you can do everything right but still encounter rude people.
I guess you're not beating up police in Times Square, sucking up public social benefits that should rightly be going to your own people or suffering try to make ends meet. Most people want to be nice but there's a limit to how much they'll put up with. Europe is in very bad shape right now and Europeans are getting more disgusted by the day in general.
Being white & having a penis always makes travel ‘much nicer.’
Quite.
@@ihmsfm1040 Exactly. And the OP should realize that virtue signalling is *VERY* rude...
I have been to Greece 2 times. Some of the nicest people I ever met. You guys are nuts.
Bahaha stop lying lmaoo
Albanians are super toxic and would be my number one considering rudeness
We return to Greece year after year, because the people are super polite, friendly, & welcoming, we holiday a few months of the year, but Greece is our favourite place, because of the wonderful people, have they even been to these countries they are slating?
The CZcamsr is an 1ndiañ this video is trash, 1ndia isn't even mentioned
@@elaineduker.6355From someone who was there, apparently the Greek Macedonians are a bit of a problem. Let's go Brandon 🤠
I was stationed in Germany with my family for four years and we never met rude people. We also learned a little German and this helped.
The Germans I have met have always been super polite.
I'm British Australian and have been for sixty years. I can't help thinking that the Brits have the most sarcastic sense of humour in the world and it can easily be taken the wrong way. I love it.
I work at an airport with people coming from all over the planet. Every country has its particularities and there are people from certain countries that do have a worse reputation than others but you can never generalize. Except from one thing: when people have been drinking their behavior becomes absolutely awful.
I live in the US. I don't know about the other countries mentioned here, but I have traveled in Greece, Italy, the UK and France. In all of those places the people were very nice. No rude people! Perhaps I'm treated politely because I try very hard to be polite myself. Doesn't hurt to study up on the countries you plan to visit, either. That way you don't come across as ignorant.
True...
Spot on!
1000% agree
Couldn't agree more with you.
GOOD FOR YOU, J.D. -- but I'm sorry to tell you that you seem to be in the minority among your countrymen. I've travelled all over the world, and everywhere I went, I encountered loud and rude Americans, who thought everyone should have learned English just to accommodate them.
And when they encounter someone who doesn't speak English, they think if they SHOUT it at him, he will magically begin to understand the language. That's not how it works.
They eat at McDonald's in Paris, leave garbage in churches, wear shoes in mosques, and show up in shorts and teeshirts at temples and other holy places. They barge into stores waving U.S. dollars (which they think should be accepted everywhere), and they expect to be waited on before others who were there first.
Oh, and they loudly say things like, "Nothing here is as good as what we have at home." Do everyone a favour and STAY there!
Just came back from my trip to both France and Italy. Had very good experiences in France, not so much in Italy. Loved food from both countries. Will revisit next year. Rude people don't stop me from having a good time.
The French is also number one in pick pocket.
It’s the foreigners they let into the country. A lot of gypsies, even in Spain and Italy.
thanks to romanian immigrants
I have travelled everywhere. What about the attitudes of tourists influencing rude responses? Without a doubt the rudest and most entitled tourists I've encountered are the Chinese and Americans.
snap
I worked in tourism for a very long time. I can say that Americans spend money so I do not mind rude Americans but we would not even host Chinese tourists due to their unnecessary rudeness and cheapskate behaviors. Locals are rude to some tourist because they know how cheapskate some tourist gets. You don't want foreigners to pollute your nature while spending no money whatsoever.
Right
@@Internettrolloftheyear Totally agree. Of all the countries that I've been in this planet, the cheapskate tourist that I've seen, have been the Chinese and the ones from India.
You goddamn right
Some people on that survey admitted they’ve never been overseas and voted based only on stereotypes so I take the results with a grain of salt.
I'd say it was fairly accurate from personal experience, but most issues are misunderstanding the culture, so always read up, and talk to those who've been. Cheers
@@bkm2797 Exactly. Do your homework. In all my travels, if I showed genuine interest and sincerity, everyone was warm and welcoming and eager to provide me with a wonderful experience. Until Covid, I had a few places I revisited just because of the people and I let them know that I would be passing through again. We enjoy a meal together and it never fails that I learn more about the country and their people.
Yes, I forgot the best part, and of course that is the friendships you make along the way, they are truly special. Cheers
@@naomiemoore5725 you got a point. The are good and bad people in all walks of life regardless of country. I often get stereotyped myself as white South African. I often get asked by other races why i dont like a certain genre of music or certain foods like other South Africans and get judged on the same 😂
@@stefankruger9547 Yes that's a problem. I had an office mate from South Africa, also white and people are perplexed sometimes. Luckily she always handles with grace and elegance.
As for the UK at no2. Most of the tourists will have been to London, where there are very few English
Bravo! I don't know about how you surveyed travelers to acquire their opinions, but the results are accurate. And your explanations were humorous and not at all abusive.
Talk to people and listen, instead of talking. And you will learn.
As a European, I’ve always experienced warmth and politeness in the rest of Europe, apart from in France; mainly Paris. I was initially shocked by the rudeness, and then very entertained. They do have so many visitors - maybe it just gets a little too crowded for them.
I travelled a lot and my first visit in Paris was very unfriendly and I I swore not to comeback! Of course, I was wrong on my first impression and visited the City more often though….This year, I will be visiting the City again😍😍😍😍 The french open save the city!😁
It isnt that, i think, Parisians are like New Yorkers. They revel in their own hostility.
if you do mix with muslims and black people.. your attitude will change too....
Im
My friend and her friends had men go up to them and burp in their face on two separate occasions while talking out on the street in Paris.
I spent a month in Turkey in 2003, in Istanbul and three smaller cities, and I found most Turks to be some of the most friendly and gracious people I had ever met anywhere!
I think Turkey is one of the country with the most hospitality, but here it turned into one of the most unfriendly country?
True.
Spent 1 year in Turkey and they are lovely people
I was pleasantly surprised by the very helpful and friendliest Turkey people.
exactly!
France was BY FAR the RUDEST country I’ve been to.
I spent 2 weeks in France and did not find anyone to be rude! In Paris most spoke English but as you go further from Paris, less people speak English. In Mont Saint-Michel few people spoke English. Most people were nice.
I lived in France for a year. The French look down their noses on the rest of the world, and the Parisians look down their noses at the rest of France. The antidote and the best response to their rudeness is laughter. It's like pouring water on the wicked witch of the west. This totally disarms them.
Lot`s of french people are obviously jobless & lazy & have nothing to do than hanging out in Brazzeries & drink beer during entire day.
Thank you for this good advice.......going to visit Paris in a couple of weeks......looking forward to the beautiful city but not for the angry people.....
@@motogazza4530 such stereotypes.
I could see you acting like your entitled American self. No wonder.
c'est bien vous êtes parti
In my experience Americans are very friendly people. As a Brit I find their lack of class consciousness very refreshing. Same goes for Canada, Australia and New Zealand. As a serving soldier I spent 3 years in Germany and didn't come across any rudeness; the people there were great.
Probably because you are a white person
I’ve been to France several times and never had anyone treat me rudely. However, I would say there’s an incredible amount of difference in how friendly the people are between Paris and everywhere else in France outside of it. My advice if you want to visit France and have a really great time with the locals is go to Lyon instead of Paris.
All my friends that went to Frence Said they were rude, they thoght my friends would steal things and they don't like people talking in english
@@mika_criss2101 Your friends were probably dicks.
Paris really changed beginning right after WWI. A lot of Americans went there, took advantage of the cheap prices, drank wine, chased the local women, etc. Then WWII came, then all the Muslim refugees have tried to wreck the culture.
I live in the SW of France. Paris is not french. It's Paris. Even we the French don't like the Parisiens in general, but you know it depends which arrondissement you find yourself.
I never had problems in France. Paris was great as well, but my travel was a long time ago.
As an American expat I lived and worked in the UK for almost five years and I did not find the British rude at all. Maybe a little prickly from time to time but generally not very rude. Germans I agree, Italians a little, French mostly in Paris but even most of my experiences there were delightful when your not in a hurry to eat and get a check quickly.
Everytime someone has told me they visited France, and that the French were rude, I discovered that they had only visited Paris. My experience has been that French people outside of Paris are very friendly. My mother is from the South of France, and people there tell Parisian jokes the way Americans tell Polish jokes.
I thought only Germans make fun of Poles.🤨
100% true. There is a "war" going on for decades between Parisians and the rest of the country.
I visited France for a whole month with a caravan and the nicest people were in Paris. The rudest people were in Normandy and nearby regions, Lyon as well was not very nice. French people in the service industry are dreadful.
@@ArturBaidi sadly I see many people make fun of you in the uk I find it sad I think Poland is a beatiful country
America have the real rude people even sometimes tourists can encounter.
I'm surprised UK is considered so rude. My most memorable experience regarding the locals is as follows: We were in an Underground station trying to figure out how to get to a certain place. A lady came up to us and said we looked like we were lost and asked if she could help. We told her where we wanted to go, and she told us exactly how to get there. I thought that was very nice.
I've had that happen on MORE THAN ONE occasion! In my experience as a tourist, by and large, the Brits love Americans.
You got lucky
Londoners are often really rude, but the rest of England is polite.
I used to live in London. I had no idea how friendly Americans were until I lived there
British people are some of the kindest in the world by far, but increasingly the younger generation have a" I cannot be bothered, entitled attitude". Occasionally rich can be patronising and snobs, but overall very civil in contact with other people.
France rightfully deserves to be number one
Totally crummy video. US have zero history, mongrels from Europe, for the most. It's why they constantly need to spread their vomit on other nationalities, to compensate their inferiority complex. The French are rude, for sure. It's probably why France is still the most visited country in the world, with about 90 million tourists each year. Maybe the ones who come here are all masochistics, i guess. This "rude French" thing is an Anglo US invention and is nothing but a big pile of B.S. It's called cultural differences. Most of the French are more reserved than loud Anglosaxons who shout and yell every 5 minutes for anything, but are probably more open minded than many other nationalities. As for Parisians, they are normal people like in any other place. As someone living in the Paris area, i've often tried in the past to communicate in English with foreign tourists, whom English speaking tourists. The impression was that i bothered them more than anything else. Like in any major world capitals, a lot of people deal with harsh daily life probems, and are stressed. Go in NYC or London, and enjoy. Individual people and crowds are 2 different things, when one take the time to communicate. I really think that a lot of people, particularly in US, should definitively try to cure their problem with the French in good mental institutions. Boring.
I totally agree that France is the worst!

Turkish people were SO kind to my fiancé and I. Very much looking forward to going back to Istanbul and other parts of Turkey 🇹🇷❤
Thank you❤
in turkey it can go both ways lol , depend on individuals and their mood , theiy can be extremely y friendly ,or theiy can be quite rude , i've had both
There is also the often told anecdote that the Japanese, known for their cultural habit of extreme politeness, develop a kind of PTSD after visiting France.
There's a great book about this called Naaande!! by Erika Nakamura. The title is a representation of the sound she says Japanese people make when France has suddenly become too much for them.
Well said.all japanese people , specially older japanese women have a very high expectations of France and seeing all the beautiful cathedrals, Louvre, cafés on magazines and TV, they go for the first time, experience horrors and they go back to Japan traumatized for the rest of their lives. All my aunties are traumatized by french, they never talk about it after their trip. 😂 😂
@@meggtokyodelicious Anti-Asian racism is openly accepted in France.
@@meggtokyodelicious I‘m not a huge fan of the French but it’s kinda their own fault if they rather believe in a fairytale world rather than the real Paris.
As a Greek myself, I have been to Greece many times and Greeks are actually very nice people
I was there for a short time and loved it.
That is for you but for some people are not...
But for me chinese people are rude
Good with Greeks but Americans are wores.
They are! Never experienced rudeness! It’s easier when you live in europe and travel to other European countries you pretty know what not to do! Just be polite and don’t act like entitle arseholes
A lot of people who say "The British are Rude" actually mean LONDONERS are Rude, since London is the main tourist destination. As someone who worked in (and commuted to) London for a number of years, this is an absolutely true observation. Arrogant (especially if they think you are "somehow inferior", unwilling to have a conversation, and generally extremely insular, on a par with Parisiennes. As for Russians? An entirely different culture, and, yes, they don't smile much since they are not as superficial as Westerners. Get to know them (usually via "the alcoholic route") and you'll find they are a very different people indeed. I've survived many Russian Birthday Parties, and the people I met by chance have become lifelong friends.
Man, your content is great for the morning,

I'm originally from India. I've been to China. In spite of the language barrier, I met some lovely, helpful people. I've been to Turkey. Everyone I came across was friendly & chatty. Went to America. No one was un-friendly, some people were very friendly.
I am from Brasil and for me the worst country is China.
Coming from India you know all about rude.😂

This is very interesting knowledge, I believe in these countries there are still many polite people
Greece: Athens TOUR bus driver, instead of taking us to the hotel door, dumped us out in monsoonal rain. This wasn't public transportation, this was the local driver for our group tour's city tour (our group tour flew from city to city and in each city we had a local guide and local driver).
The Israelis are the living definition of rude. I actually have family there, so I know.
Israel are not only rude but brutal
😂
I am surprised they didn't make the list. Several friends described them as rude.
I do agree the Israelis are terrible but I'm still a big Isreal supporter
@JH P stop firing rockets at israel and nonody will b killed see i made it easy for u and also stop using schools and hospitals as rocket launcher sites and no baby will die and yeah stop glorifying hamas terrorists as heroes and role models the israelis literally call u before a strike what more do u need
My experience in Italy was that the people went out of their way to be nice and helpful, especially in restaurants. In Ravenna, we cruised into town and couldn't find an open restaurant to get get some lunch (it was off season so a lot of places were closed). We drove by one that had some lights on so I went in to see if they were open. The owner said they were closed, but he would feed us on the condition we ate whatever they gave us. We got a fabulous seafood meal, three different fish, an appetizer, wine and dessert for about $30. After we were finished with our meal, we asked the owner to pass our compliments along to the chef whom we then found out was his wife. She then came out to meet us we told her how great the food was. We thanked them for their great hospitality and talked for about 10 minutes and then we were on our way. I only regret is I can't remember the name of the restaurant so that others might be able to enjoy it also. This is just one of the many great encounters we had while we were there for 2 weeks.
Italy is the worst. You need to be careful when at the restaurant. they like to overcharge tourists.
Italians are very rude.
I have had very good times in Italy.
I was stationed in Aviano and the 1st weekend I was there I went into town. While I was in the market place I struck up a conversation with a middle aged woman. I tried to speak whatever Italian I knew. She started to laugh. She told me that I was talking American Italian. We communicated well in English.
I was getting ready to leave and go back to base. I told her that I was in the Air Force. She called her son over. He was in the Italian Air Force. I wound up going to their home for dinner. Our friendship is still very strong. His mom passed on a number of years ago.
I have a lot of pleasant memories of my time in Italy.
They are very noisy
My sister, her husband and their 8 month old son were on holiday in Italy and when the baby got quite ill a doctor gave them a discription for antibiotics but it was night and at pharmacy they had to talk to the pharmacist through an intercom. The person at the other side of the line asked how much the dog in question weighted. When my sister answered that it concerned her 8 month baby all of the sudden all lights went on and three people came rushing out. They even insisted on taking all three of them in coz a tent at a campingside was no place for an ill baby.
Funny.. I just got an ad for New Jersey prior to the video.
Every time I hear someone talking about Italian food, I wonder which of the 20 regional cuisines they've tried
Be humble, don't be rude, be strong, but not arrogant, the life is to short for being rude to others without a fair justification.
Excellent
Thank you.
True
I visited Paris recently. The tourist attractions have very unfriendly staff. That was quite surprising for me. In fact, one Air hostess in Air france business class was treating us very poorly. She was literally yelling.
Paris doesn't represent all of France, and airline staff in most places are assholes these days.
French are incredibly rude, even if you speak French. They are just not friendly to foreigners. The first time l visited France l was 17. I was given the immediate impression that if you spend money they will “tolerate” you but nothing more.
Omg the French are awful.
In your best French reply back on your rights as human being. Usually if you assert yourself, you can get the other person to back down. As Rochefoucauld once said or "Ce n'est pas necessaire. Vous ête trop fort!" It is a Latin country, so it takes some arrogance to be assertive. Customer service is not that much part of French culture; the customer is not always right. In South Florida, the Cuban culture is very aggressive, so I had to learn to be assertive. South Florida may be good preparation.
Yup, most french are very sad & angry people towards foreigners. We had a taxi driver shouting at us when asking us where we wanted to go. We were with a toddler then, and she was scared. Driver looked really pissed too, like those french who spends months on violent protests that you see on tv. One Vietnamese lady taxi driver pretended that she couldn’t understand when I told her we wanted to go to Rue de Moscou. But the Algerians are generally very warm & nice people.
I went to the acropolis when I was like 13 and there was supposed to be a student discount. I didn't bring my ID (my bad) and they made me pay the adult fair. I felt that was kinda rude considering I was just a little kid.
I’m an Indian, I Visited Russia Many Times.
Russian Local People Are Very Friendly & Helpful…..
As a Dutch man I have visited almost every country in Europe. And yes, I probably have dealt a time or two with rude people over the years, but for 99% of the times the people I met were very nice. I think it depends a lot on yourself, how you act towards others, you reap what you sow. By the way, the Dutch have a reputation for being very direct and blunt, which foreigners often see as rude.
The Dutch are actually my favorite people! I don't see their bluntness and honesty as rude at all.
I think dutch people are lovely, either as tourists here or in Holland at home. (As a french who's been working in tourism for a few years I see a lot of them)
I actually happen to like what can be perceived as "direct"
I think you're exactly right with your "you reap what you sow."
Such nice reactions here 😊
Some Dutch I have met are what I consider rude, but others are OK, especially young ones.
Dutch are not rude but they are not very generous. Dutch are the kind of tourists that are least liked since they don't spend money.
Dutch campers even take their cheese from holland to France, Italy or Spain 🤔🙄
I'm an Asian and been to UK with my family Last year and stayed there for 18 days as a tourist. As per our experience, Brits are nice, everyday when we go out for a walk, strangers say hi and hello to us. When we ask for directions, they are patient with us, always smiling. We love the UK.
Same. We're Asians too. My family and I were there for more than a week and I found the brits very friendly and helpful.
They are like irish both fake will smile to you but watch out..
@@redginger6767 very good, happy for you 😊
Are you sure it was just a visit?
@@americaisnumber117Yanks are very rude when abroad I can vouch for that. Despise dealing with them in my job. Up there with French and Russians.
We get back the vibes we give out. Smile a lot and say Hi often.
If you are nice, the people you encounter are nice towards you❤ wherever you go.
This was my experience too. My Grandma brought me up to be polite to everyone, and it worked like a charm. Lots of "Please, thank you, how nice," and things along that line. I spent two months trotting around Europe, and literally - never once ran into a truly rude person. Complement, appreciate, be genuine and you'll get along just fine.
in many places but not wherever u go , trust me
Rudeness is very common in touristic areas no matter where you go. One reason might be the stress when dealing with tourists. Tourists who think they own the place, screaming children because they are too tired and parents not giving a darn thing about that, people who think they can do whatever they want and find it perfectly normal if after they leave the restaurant a high pressure cleaner is required to clean up the mess they created, the ever present drunken people, aggressive tourists operating in groups looking for a fight, toilets which resemble a swimming pool because people don't seem to know how to use a toilet,... The lack of respect in general. Be respectful even if something goes very wrong and look for a working solution instead of making endless demands. It makes life easier for yourself and for the anyone involved. On top of that, you might get more in return than you expected. A better question to ask might be which tourists are the worse. An other thing to consider is the mentality of the owners of restaurants pubs and bars in touristic areas looking to rip of people by serving the worse food possible. My advice is to go to non touristic areas. The food is good and worth the money, the people are correct pleasant and friendly, everything is clean. And probably most important: they want you to enjoy the stay in their place and they want you to return next time. In touristic ares, you're just a number and those who don't return will be replaced anyhow.
Very good and correct analogy.
True. However, Latin american countries such as Brasil, Colombia, Ecuador, Argentina, Mexico; are very touristic places and we are kind and nice with tourists in general. The same with many Asian countries. In the other hand, European people do really bad at costumer service and they are rude with no reason.
@@nataliahernandez8573trust me ,you don't have that much tourists as Italy and Greece or Paris
When i'd go to a country, i generally wouldn't want to go to a tourist trap.
I would just stroll around, taking in the atmosphere of a casual place and try to get a feeling of what it's like in everyday japan, italy, greece, scandinavia etc.
A vacation that's only spent in hotel rooms or tourist resorts, would be a waste.
I think i am generally not interested in vacations, but in travelling.
Very true. It also helps to learn a few phrases in the local language, even just the basic ones. People generally appreciate the effort. The worst I've ever been treated was holidaying in my own (very small) country, so it's not just foreign tourists that get it. I've been to most of the countries on this list and people are sound, generally. Just be nice, respectful of local cultures and don't walk around like you own the place!
I'm from the US, and moved to Mexico two years ago. The US has some of the rudest, and most "entitled" citizens on the planet. With the current level of political corruption and violence now, I'm glad I made the move...
Damn what Americans have y’all met because I promise you Americans can be the most nice and welcoming people 😅
I don't doubt what you said about the US now, but Mexico has a reputation for incredible corruption with the cartels influencing their politicians.
@@Demdamnkids live in NYC. It's a mix. Not rude enough to make me mad though but people still can be rude.
Unhappy people meet unhappy people. So there you have it.

If you end up in the wrong place...like New Jersey. Truer words never spoken.
As someone from Poland, I'm suprised my country is not here.
Interesting on the tourists point of view. I have been travelling for over 30 years now, and I am always finding tourists really rude while in other countries. Maybe it would be good, to ask the locals of your selected countries who they think are the rudest nationalities visiting their countries.
The Chinese are infamous for it. Then the Turks.
I live in Italy and I am sad to say that I find American tourists astonishingly rude. They seem to have no filter and to not have bothered to find out what is and what isn't okay with the locals. As you say it is interesting to see it from the other side.
Everywhere I go, and I've travelled quite a lot, its always the Chinese tourists that are pushy and the rudest followed by the Americans.
@@sandramary4 lm American and l love Italians. I absolutely disagree that ltalians are rude. I am always welcomed with open arms when l visit Italy, even with my limited knowledge of Italian language. I love everything about Italy. It is one of my favorite places to visit. My first trip to Italy was when l was 17. Not once did l feel disrespected there. Italian people are warm and kind hearted. However l have only been during the summer time. Maybe colder weather makes people grumpy lol l don’t know
@@Anits1989 I totally agree. We have only lived here for 6 years and it has been wonderful. Italians are always, even in deep winter, the kindest and sweetest of people. Sure you many find the odd grumpy one but that is the exception that proves the rule. They are generous and patient and I never want to be anywhere but in this country that I absolutely love. Come back! You will be welcomed. If your "get" Italy and Italians we will love you forever!
Life lesson: never always believe stuff on the internet and random strangers in public.
Perhaps you should conduct a reverse survey to identify the top ten places where the locals consider the respondent to be rude.
Interesting list! Knowing about rudest countries helps with retirement planning. Thanks for sharing this eye-opening insight!
No - it does not. Go to Antarctica and you will be offended by the Penguins not paying attention to your personal needs.. People who depend on others to be happy are in fact those who consider themselves to be a gift of God to the world and they judge their well-being by the way others are recognizing that they are special. Otherwise, they are offended for not being recognized for what they think who they are.
A country I travelled to recently that I thought was pretty rude was South Korea. In Seoul and Busan we were even chased out of certain restaurants (I'm assuming for being foreigners). We were also avoided like the plague on the trains and busses, like people literally stood up and refused to sit next to us. There were multiple other things too. Just felt relieved when I finally left
And they can't even bring home a foreigner where they're going on a date the family will disown them it's that serious
@@sitdowndogbreath for dating or just a friend?
@@lucianaromulus1408 I'm not sure about that I was under the impression it was for both scenarios.
@@sitdowndogbreath I mean you can't blame an ethnicity for not wanting to be wiped out but if it's just a friend that's a bit harsh. I'm a white American and I befriended a South Korean here (she was in my college and needed help learning English so I helped her). While we were friends, she definitely could be stand off-ish and when her family came here to see her graduate, they didn't meet with me. Idk if they felt awkward in not knowing the language and cultural differences but it's whatever. Certainly a bit harsh but nonetheless we had a decent friendship

I worked for the French Government Tourist Office in New York some years ago. One day we spotted a full-page ad in the New York Times from the Polish tourism office. I don't remember the headline exactly, but it said something like: "In Warsaw, Parisian-style cafes, but without the rude Parisian waiters." Our supervisor thought of protesting this, but then admitted that French waiters did tend to be rude, so we let the matter drop.
LOL :)
French people can dole out criticism but get highly sensitive when others criticize France.
"In Warsaw, Parisian-style cafes, but without the rude Parisian waiters. In Warsaw, Warsawian-style cafes, with the rude Warsawian waiters"
@@start3215 Do Warsaw waiters have the same bad reputation as Parisian waiters?
Hotels in Europe charge crazy prices .receptionists in hotels are unfriendly. Air tickets are expensive. A European tour costs $40000
Such a fun and funnily true list!
Years ago I had a job as night porter in an Amsterdam hostel. All I can say from my own limited experience….rudest guests were Americans and Israelis. The rest was more or less ok.
It's racism, sir! Not rude who are they.🤔🙄🙄🙄
They feel entitled
@@sirayaschalklen1254 hahaha! It's just a feeling of being entitled but the truth is they are not. 🤔😀😀😀
People in Amsterdam had to be the rudest I have ever met, especially the non Dutch people working there. For the rest of Netherlands, Dutch were so friendly.
Americans are nice to most but they seem to not view service workers as people. If something is wrong or they aren't getting the service they're used to they will take it out on the employees they view as responsible.
Czech Republic. I lived there for 3 years, and they are downright cruel. For no reason. And antisemitic. They insulted me for being dark complexioned, and “Jewish looking”, all the time. Men hit on me because they think “Jewish women very good for Czech men” I heard this all over Prague. My attempt at speaking Czech was mocked almost all the time. Even the French are polite in comparison. They appreciate your effort to speak French. I actually like the French.
I despise French people. I went there once and they were really rude to me, only because I lacked skills of speaking French. I was never taught any French at school. As for Czech Republic, I never had an issue with Czechs actually. Even in Prague.
That’s horrible :(
I hated it it Prague. I'll never visit Prague again.
In my travels over the past 50 years, I have found rudeness in most countries I have visited. But some really good people will step up and help you. Some of the rudest people I have met were in Israel. I commented to a young woman (born in Russia) who worked the front desk of a hotel in Eilat about some of the rudeness we ran into. She said with a polite smile: "Israelis are really rude!" We also had an older Israeli taxi cab driver intentionally drop our suitcases to the ground in disgust at our final destination in Tel Aviv because I tried to negotiate a price with him initially. On the other hand, many Israelis were quick to assist us in our few trips to that country.
Absolutely untrue! But the video is good!
As a french person i only clicked on this video to see my country top 1
Me too ! The reputation still works very well lol
The French hate their own people for speaking French incorrectly or with a different accent, let alone foreigners lol
True.
Excuse me are you also talking about Mexico?
@@jc6800 why? are they rude?
If only they could hear THEMSELVES speaking abroad, they all sound like characters from ‘Allo ‘Allo, the British comedy! And what have they got to be snooty about? It’s hurting them still that the world language isn’t French and the Meridian time zone doesn’t run through Paris, and French cuisine is only the best in THEIR eyes and the world prefers Italian over theirs!

@@whyohwhy3407 They have a long lasting bad relationship with England because of all the wars and colonialism that they themselves are guilty of too.

Been to all of the countries on this list and only found the Germans and French genuinely rude. Funny, in every country I've visited, people who have visited America always say that Americans are amongst the nicest people they've met. I'm sure people who've never visited the US were the ones to weigh in on this---out of sheer ignorance. I actually look forward to visiting America when abroad because I can't wait to meet nice people. Americans are a breath of fresh air from cold Europeans and stoic Asians.

I have never seen such shabby, primitive, and uncivilized people as in US, during a trip several years ago. And above all, appallingly ignorant. In New Mexico, I was asked if credit cards and cell phones existed in France. While this country belongs to the European Union, which is virtually the world's leading zone in terms of economic exchanges. Pathetic. Never again in this place. I think that many USians should try to consult good psychiatrists to definitively resolve their problem with France. So mean and boring in the long run.
I saw a vlog about this white British girl and her (also white) friend accidentally ending up in Compton. People gave them the side-eye and told them they probably should get out of there when they realized that they were tourist, and helped them get a bus to somewhere safer. There's good people everywhere, even in the bad neighborhoods.
I agree with you whole heartedly!! Some people are born into difficult circumstances and bad neighbourhoods….but they still have a heart and good intentions. ❤❤
IM BRITISH
Not very nice for a whole neighborhood to be that hostile that "others" have to immediately get out.
I was an exchange student in high school in Lyon, France. I found the majority of France very friendly except for Paris. I figure the reputation comes from so many Americans going mostly to Paris. If you only visited New York City, your perspective of Americans would be highly skewed.
I agree! They say the same about NYers! It's seems to be a rep of most major cities.
I agree. I'm French and lived in Paris and hated the people there. However, in the south and west they're actually quite nice.
I lived in Norway for years, traveled in Europe as well. It is American's who have a bad reputation abroad, rightfully so. I witnessed appalling behavior by them on numerous occasions.
Paris is the political hub of France and it has nothing to do with Americans.
the prpblem is most people go to paris and then think it's france but it's not it's just paris
Very good.
I’ve rarely encountered rudeness directed at me either intentionally or not whilst visiting places abroad. But there is one moment that speaks volumes. I been living in Ireland for a decade. I was out working at a hotel somewhere in Cavan. Thing is with Irish folks “excuse me” is a quick casual “sorry.” Very easy going like.
I’ve gotten really use to this so I was thrown into a state of shock when outside binning something this loud voice goes “Excuuuuse me mate. How do I activate the level to leave the parking lot??” He had his ticket in hand and hadn’t realised how to feed the machine on the way out. I wasn’t an employee and just said “I’d say I’m not sure but maybe feee the ticket into the till. But I can’t be sure.” He got all bent out of shape and said “oh forget it forget it mate I’ll GO IN and ask him he hotel boy!!” I wished him luck. Two minutes later himself and his mate came out all “ just wave the ticket in front of it Simon.” Five minutes later as their truck with yellow plates wheezed out the lot I could hear a distant “excuuuuse me mate how do I get ta tha Dublin road?” These guys wanted everything done for them. I think I heard the guy they were barking at say “follow the signs for Cork and don’t stop.” 😂😂😂
I disagree with this list. You will find polite and rude people everywhere. These are generalizations. The problem could have been with the individual vistors who felt this way. Maybe they were being rude and got attitude back. I've been in those nations and never experienced that rudeness.
Yes this is purely an opinion of random people.
Totally agree
In my experience, Europeans are the rudest on earth, while South Americans and South East Asians are the friendliest.
except for slovenia
theyre really friendly
Actually Turkish people are really nice to tourists, they will offer free stuff to them and everything.I would like to hear the story of the person who said "turkey for sure"

I got ignored at an Italian restaurant ever so sublimely for so long I just left without a word spoken after quite a long time and the place was not busy. I have to say the staff all had poker faces without a hint of attitude, it was like I was invisible.
Do you think it was because of some kind of prejudice against you, or were they just that way toward all the customers- in other words just crap employees?
Ι am Greek so I cannot talk about my country. Still, my daughters through the Erasmus program have visited almost all of Europe and I have been to the USA and many European countries too. I think there are a lot of persisting stereotypes which once you get to know nations & ppl closer, none of these cliches truly exist.
True. By the way, I found Greek people to be very friendly and I consider Greece to be my number 1 choice of a country. I also noticed that Greek people just don't like noisy and rude tourists. Which some people from the USA can be.
I cannot believe anyone would find Greek people rude???
Greek are the best in Europe, I adore Greece it's a Paradise. Beautiful nature,history and most welcoming people I found .
Niko I grew up next door to Greek immigrants! I've always wanted to visit Greece so hope u are gracious!
greeks are very friendly. The whole list in this video is politically correct. Its a joke.
I wonder how much of the rudeness perceived by American tourists was triggered by the entitled actions of the tourist themselves.
Agreed
I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that hasn’t been my experience. I have family over there and I bend over backwards to act anything but entitled.

This crummy video is nothing more than a big pile of B.S. Typical US nonsense. US have ZERO history. For the most, mongrels from European descent. It's why they constantly need to spread their vomit on other nationalities, to compensate their inferiority complex. The French are rude, for sure. It's probably why France is still the first world tourist destination, with about 90 million visitors every year. Maybe the ones who come here are all masochistics, i guess. So, the French are rude and arrogant because their native language is not English. What a pile of B.S and lies. It's called cultural differences. Most of the French are more reserved than loud Anglosaxons who shout and yell every 5 minutes for anything, but are probably more open minded than many other nationalities. In addition, it would be better to avoid to give lessons to others, from a place where mass shootings are the national sport. Pathetic.
FRENCH people. In Paris. When I visited that place I was so disappointed with how store staff look down on us asian tourists. “Don’t touch that!” Wow. that irked us so we left without buying anything from their shop.
You can find morons and twats everywhere, included in Asia. Don't generalize after one negative experience.
Being an Indian, when I came to France, I found people very friendly.❤️

Depends on if you can actually comprehend them saying something meaningful in their Language. Maybe some of them just shy to say up-front? Maybe some of them just getting a straight up bad education? Just some of them learning the foreign Language from movies and TV-shows? Maybe, they really don't mean that way at all. It depends on the circumstances. And most importantly, how you perceive it.
I think what some people consider as rudeness may be a matter of cultural ignorance. For example, if you don't say a greeting to a French person before you make your request, they will ignore you, etc., because they think that you are being rude.
Also, most people travel to Paris, and there they tend to have less tolerance for visitors. Even the rest of France say negative things about Parisians. In reality, there are nice and rude people everywhere.
Good point. Not knowing or understanding the culture causes problems. I read where someone went to Mexico to do business. They had a very tight and busy schedule. Totally bombed because that’s just not their culture.
I am curious. Is your comment for me ? I asked because nowhere in my comment did I mention America. Also, it just so happens that I live in America. I am American.
Thank you!

I am Italian and I think I can explain: we Italians, the Spaniards, the Greeks, the French, the Turks, and in general all the peoples of the northern Mediterranean, have a large influx of tourists in our cities. We especially hate the flocks of Chinese tourists that invade the squares and sidewalks. The fact is that tourists often take up too much space, invading streets that simply weren't made to accommodate so many people. Sometimes a walk to catch some cool breeze in the city center in August becomes a torture for how many people are around. We are noisy, it is true, but we hate chaos. Another problem is the soaring prices in tourist areas. We are used to spending no more than € 1 for a coffee, and paying even € 1.10 is a robbery for us. Bartenders charge tourists more and some have begun to differentiate prices for locals and foreigners to avoid complaints from fellow countrymen. Another thing that sends blood to our heads is when tourists sit or lean on pieces of stone scattered around the city, which are actually 600-year-old fountains, 2000-year-old column capitals, or 200-year-old stairways that are made to walk on it, and not to have a picnic. We are fanatics of respect: respect the city, and do not take pictures of the citizens, because they may ask you to delete the photo with rather aggressive tones or, alternatively, to pay them.
Christian Francesco Depalo, absolutely understandable, if i lived in your city I would feel the same way.
Lol not many likes. I guess people cant accept this man's ability to reason.
Hate Chinese tourists but love their money. Typical Italian Lmfao...
Italia is already on a black list of travel destinations for Chinese due to Italian street scammer, unethical restaurant over-charged, pickpocket, rude Italians, etc...
Don't they want the cash from tourism? How many folks would be out of a job without tourists? Most countries want visitors to boost the economy. If you don't want tourism, leave the city or move to a non-touristy area.
@@treasurehunteruk9718 I already live in a non-tourist area, but I work in the city... I'm not saying that I don't want tourists: I wish they were just more polite and respectful.
I've found that after doing just one thing a French person will be among the nicest and least rude people you can meet. Just be sure to greet a French person with: "Bonjour, madame" or "Bonjour monsieur." instead of just saying: "Where is the...?", Say: Bonjour Madame ....?" It's been my experience that once you show respect to a French person (greeting him or her with the polite greeting) that French person is likely to show mutual respect to you.
The lack of what we consider good manners (like saying bonjour) is definitely frowned upon and will for sure get you bad service.

0:38 Many visitors to Greece have had positive experiences with the locals, finding them to be kind, warm, and helpful. Personal experiences can vary, and it's important to consider the individual encounters and interactions when forming an opinion about a country and its people. It's important to note that attitudes and behaviors can vary within a country. While some people may have encountered instances of rudeness in certain areas of Greece, it doesn't necessarily reflect the behavior of the entire country. Different regions within Greece may have their own unique characteristics and social norms.Different cultures have different norms and expectations when it comes to social interactions. What may be perceived as rude in one culture might be considered normal or acceptable in another. It's possible that some behaviors in Greece that are seen as rude by some visitors are actually part of the local culture and are not intended to be disrespectful.
I have been to Deutschland several times,once or twice a year. Kind people and you can strike up interesting conversations.
I spent 10 days in France visiting a friend who spoke fluent French. I did not run across one rude person the whole trip, even when I did things alone. I tried to be friendly, humble and apologetic for not speaking the language, and in return the people I ran across were very friendly and helpful. I guess you reap what you sow anywhere you go.
@HARRY KOSSEC Yes. well put. USA is on the list, yet has the most yearly tourists than any country (usually at least in top few). And I see tourist reactions and vlogs all the time saying how friendly, open and helpful Americans are, even though we are on this list. And yes, having been to Paris, it is a very busy and bustling city. Yet it looks like a wonderland of amazing architecture and parks. I found Parisians away from the tourist landmarks to be very friendly. But, I did mostly interact over wine and beer, which always helps. hahahaha
Yes, there’s that. However yours is one experience versus the data of polling several people, like he says he did in this video. Generally speaking, the French have been known to be rude. But I do think that Americans are rude also
I had the same experience there.
Maybe because you are white you found them nice to you!
I had my passport bag and phone stolen and the flixbus company with international staff wouldn't even email my parents so I had to camp out for 5 days. Eventually my gf flew over as she was insured. French people gave me food and their phones to call my family.
