Ranking U.S. States from Least to Most Rude

Hawaii, often seen as a paradise of aloha and relaxation, has its own complexities regarding rudeness. With a 14.8% tipping rate and 3% of drivers showing discourteous behavior, locals sometimes express frustration with the constant influx of tourists.

The state’s unique culture emphasizes respect and harmony, but the pressures of tourism and high living costs can lead to impatience. On the islands, visitors might encounter a mix of warm hospitality and moments of tension, particularly in heavily trafficked areas like Honolulu. Smaller, less crowded islands often more clearly reflect the traditional spirit of aloha.
