I'm from the suburbs of New England, and I've been to Manhattan many times, and lived in Boston for several years. I have family in Hartford and in the burbs of New Hampshire. I've been to every one of the 48 contiguous states, and lived in southeastern Florida, and right outside Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
The rudest people I've ever personally encountered were southerners who complained about northerners being rude. They were even ruder than the Quebequois who refused to speak English even though I knew they could, and even though they knew I didn't know French. I ended up learning French. Joke's on them, I understood what they were saying. And it still wasn't as rude as southerners complaining about rude Northerners.
That whole "bless your heart" thing gets really tiring, folks.
