1. Orlando, FL

**** Mickey Mouse.

You would think the good folks in Delaware would at least be pleased with the fact that they don't have to pay sales tax.

Yeah, but it costs like $43 per mile to drive through there. Assholes.

 

[Mizzougrad96]

St. Petersburg? Does it count if all of the angry people are 90?

Philadelphia and Boston should be 1-2. I'm sure all the residents want to throw batteries at the people who made that poll.

 

[Hustle]

I can hear Philadelphia booing from here.

Philly booed Santa Claus, for christ sakes, and they're not in the top 10?

Hey, that was 40 years ago, it was cold, and the Eagles were losing.

And didn't they throw snowballs at Santa Claus?

That was Jimmy Johnson.

Fallacy. It depends which way you go through Delaware.

Hammerpants.... it's pretty easy to avoid the tolls in Delaware if you know where to drive. And you're only talking like an extra five minutes of driving.

In fact, to avoid the one at the Maryland/Delaware line if you're going north, take the last exit in Maryland (Elkton) and turn left, going north towards Newark, DE. Make a right on either College or Christiana, I think it's called Christiana. Go by the Chrysler plant and when you get to the UD stadium (I think that's 896), turn right again. Go down about two miles and you'll hit I-95 but miss the toll. Stop for lunch at one of the places along the way, maybe fill up some gas too. Adds only a few minutes time to your trip.

Agreed on Baltimore. Angry, angry place.

New York, as stated before, is not an angry place. I visited when I moved back east and I remember thinking that in spite of the busy pace and the heat and the priciness, the people there were some of the coolest I'd encountered. Ditto for Boston, which when I was growing up got the rude rap, as well.

If we're gonna' put Baltimore on this list Pittsburgh can't be too far behind. It's littered with bitchy old people and is ranked one of the worst for single people. How that can't **** people off is beyond me.

Pittsburgh is just an angry drunk... and yes, there are times it seems the entire city is drunk all at once. That's not just for Steelers victory parties. Sometimes that's just Thursday night.

 

[Idaho]

No Provo or Pocatello?

 

[Starman]

Greetings from ****offopolis. ;D

 

[The Big Ragu]

No Provo or Pocatello?

Utah and Idaho aren't angry. They're peeved.

 

[Idaho]

I thought the word was peculiar. Peeved works, too, I guess.

 

[novelist_wannabe]

How would you like it if every other person you met made some sort of spud reference. You'd be angry, too ...

Thanks. I'll remember that.

The omission of Boston blows me away...

I was crossing the street in front of Boston Medical Center the other day and nearly got run over by some middle-aged prick in a BMW. I had a walk signal, but as the guy cut right off my heels he made sure to honk and give me the oh-so-friendly one finger wave.

Boston is a God-forsaken hell hole of anger...especially when it comes to sports.

STFU, Darwinism says me in my car has the right-of-way over your two legs.

 

[Jesus_Muscatel]

One question.

Where the hell is Dallas?

The City of Hate?

The Town that Killed Kennedy.

I see they're No. 16.

No ****ing way.

Big D is Top Five. The antithises of Austin.

Sorry if this is a d_b, but I stumbled across this this morning and thought the results were a little surprising.

If you live in Detroit, Baltimore or Wilmington, you are entitled to be angry.
What the heck are the people in St. Petersburg angry about, the beautiful Florida gulf weather?

I noticed this morning that I'm lucky enough to live in the angriest city in the United States.

I believe it was last night that I pulled up to the gate at the front of my apartment complex and reached around to my rear pocket to get my gate card. I had been there for all of a half-second when someone behind me honked. I'll admit that I had a phone to one ear, but it couldn't have added more than a single second to my time.

Of course, I'm from the Midwest, which has almost no cities on the list. So I'm not familiar with life across the country. All I know is that people here run red lights so late that I routinely slam on my brakes to miss them. And these are people who don't even seem to be aware that you're present.

I've had dozens of people push past me in crowded malls, grocery stores and restaurants while I was holding my infant daughter in my arms. One lady at Blockbuster nearly knocked me over.

I don't think it's so much that people are mean. It's more that almost nobody makes it a point to be nice. Sometimes, it's just nice to have someone wave or smile or wave you on at an intersection. When that never happens, I think people become cold and emotionless.

I'm also second the heat comment. I think that plays a major role.
