Illinois is one of the rudest states in the U.S.??

Zippia conducted a study to find the 10 rudest states in the U.S… and somehow Illinois landed on the list!

They went through different polls and studies on how often people swear on the phone at customer service, how rude people are behind the wheel (Oh! That one would get us) and how much people tip at restaurants.  They also factored in a poll on how rude the rest of the country thinks each state is.

The results were in this order, with number 1 being the worst…

  1. Rhode Island
  2. Massachusetts
  3. Virginia
  4. New York
  5. California
  6. Washington
  7. New Jersey
  8. Utah
  9. Illinois
  10. Ohio

Southern charm must be for real, because a lot of Southern states made the list of the most POLITE states in America.  These states included: Mississippi, Arkansas, North Carolina, Vermont, Kentucky, South Carolina, Minnesota, Louisiana, Maine and Delaware.
