Well, well, guess who made the Top 5 Rudest Cities in America...Las Vegas! The Mike & Carla Morning Show was quite surprised to find out that our own city made it into the Top 5 as one of the "rudest" cities in the country!

There's a new study out published by Preply.com which looked into the rudest cities in America . . . but they DIDN'T even ask travelers . . . instead, they talked to over 1,500 residents of the 30 largest cities in the U.S. and asked them to rate their own city on "rudeness".

As it turns out, according to the people that live there, Philadelphia is #1 on the list! Now keep in mind that the survey was based on how people were absorbed while on their phone in public, being noisy in public places and, most importantly, refusing to let people merge into traffic! Well, needless to say, when it comes to traffic, people here in Las Vegas will tell you that we don't know how to drive at all, much less letting people "merge"!

And we've all run into those people that tend to be a bit louder in public trying to show off to others how much fun than are having than those around them...let's face it, sometimes we can all get a little obnoxious.

Now some of the other cities that voted themselves into the being one of the rudest cities in America were Detroit, who we find out can be very rude, but not enough to crack the Top 5. Our nation's capital was also found to be very rude according to the criteria of the survey.

But on the flipside, which cities are the most "polite" cities in America? No surprise that quite a few are in the Midwest including Indianapolis, Chicago, Milwaukee and more! Even the "Mile High" city of Denver popped up on the list of "polite" cities...as well as San Diego! Of course if you think about it, you're living in San Diego, how hard is it to be nice? But the #1 most "polite" city was Austin, Texas! Guess there is something to say about "live" music, bars and "hook 'em horns" atmosphere.

But what cities made it into the Top 5 Rudest Cities in America and where did Las Vegas end up...scroll down and find out. Oh, and enjoy the segment from The M&C Morning Show talking about it as well...
