Yeah, they are (we are?) more rude than in other parts of Florida. I'm always kind of surprised at how polite and nice people are whenever I visit Naples or Orlando or Tampa, etc; and kind of wish people in South Florida were like that.
But whatever, I can only assume how different it is for someone who was raised outside of S.Fla to live here vs those of us that grew up here.
I'm used to going into restaurants and not being treated politely, the same way I'm used to not really talking to store attendants and being freaked out when people are so nice lol.
I don't know why it's like that, but it is. I don't think, however, that it's because of all the NY transplants; I've heard a lot of people who visit NY come back and say how they don't deserve that "rude people" stereotype. Either way I don't blame people from "outside" not liking the way South Floridians are- I have a lot of complaints myself... Especially with the way people drive here. But thats a whoooooole 'nother story.
