You happen to run into the exceptions and then proceed to announce the entire area as "rude" which is incorrect and inaccurate information.
Keep in mind the other 99++++% that is just fine and dandy and happy and courteous......Thank you very much!

I've been around a few years. I've lived in major metro areas (Miami for most of my life, NYC for a little while) and tiny little Caribbean islands. I've traveled the world and I can say in MY OPINION that I have not seen the type of rudeness that I've seen IN THIS AREA. My point is, I've only been living here for six months and I have already seen more rudeness than I've seen in decades living in other places. I know Miami, Chicago, NY, Philly, etc. have reputations for rudeness and I am sure it is well deserved, but I've lived in/visited all of these places and I haven't seen this amount of rudeness in such a short amount of time.
Some of it seems to come from a sense of entitlement, but some certainly comes from a lack of proper upbringing. In this case, it seemed to stem from someone who had a deep seated resentment against TV residents (hence the "get into your golf cart annd move along" quote).
I should clarify, in the incident I posted above, this was clearly not a TV resident (I never claimed that it was, but the ever present TV Reputation Protection League thought it necessary to defend the reputation of "the area"), but someone who is probably suffering from the results of generations of inbreeding.
