Ive heard of the stereotype and I think that theres some truth to it. However, its not applicable to all New Yorkers (I work with a lovely woman from New York) and its also true of many other major cities. London, for example, is just as bad for it.

Ive been to London many times. Its the capital city of the country I was born in.

But yeah, central London can be about as crowded as a place can get.

Some of the New York nurses I've spoken to on the phone have been rude / aggressive. I certainly don't think it speaks for all New Yorkers. But it's definitely something I've noticed at work.

New Yorkers...and I have to assume you mean NYC, are just blunt....but honest.
Some Long Islander types can be obnoxious though for sure.

I work remotely with clients across the UK and the London ones are the worst. Expect everything to happen instantly for them without even taking time to understand what they're trying to ask for.

I had a co-worker who was from NYC who complained how rude they were, but I eventually realized he was actually an anti-semite.

See, my colleague from New York is Jewish so I doubt that shes got those feelings.

While NYC, and any large city for that matter, have their share of rude/obnoxious people, I think a lot of the stigma of the "rude New Yorker" stems from the fact that most just keep to themselves and just want to get from the train to their office as fast as possible and have no time to really dilly dally.

So people equate that silence/standoffishness to being rude. Many NYers are just to the point, not necessarily rude.

I've lived in New York my whole life and I can't recall ever hearing someone say those stereotype lines unironically.

I don't think the average person is rude moreso than we want to be left alone in public and just get to our destinations ASAP.
