why are americans rude?

You know what i totally agree, i work at a call center in canada and of all the callers i get...the majority are american..and the first thing they say is "im glad to be talking to a person who can speak english and isnt indian" far be it from them to know that im actually indian...i cant stand americans that are so rude and selfish and think the world revolves around them...mind some americans are nice..the others...and some of the language they use..i really hope they dont use that same mouth to talk to thier mothers

That is a good question. I am an American, ex-Air Force, and have a degree. I worked abroad half of my life, and hanging out with the European crowd, learned that most americans were loud, and obnoxious. They showed me by example. We were hanging out in Madrid, and sure enough, the loudest table in the restaurant came from Americans. Are they rude? Maybe so. Still, the Americans are always the first to respond to tyranny, to mafias, and terrorist issues. Many an American, has given their life to help another country survive. Canada, is a very rich dear friend of America, and the Canadians have more than once come to our rescue. Are Americans rude? Yes. Guilty as charged. But, just know, we are there when, and or if you need us. But why are Americans rude? Our government seems to have forgotten us. Our own brothers starve, most jobs are outsourced to India, Russia, or China. I dare you to find a wire barbeque grill brush that is made in America. Americans have lost a lot of confidence in themselves and have become very defensive. I think our country will have to come to terms with what is required to move forward that will boost economy, and jobs before things settle down. Don't know when that will happen, but until then, we'll all probably be a little rude every now and then.

I am an American SGT in the U.S. ARMY. No one country is perfect. I worked in tech support(I only dealt with local people so I m only assuming they were Americans). When dealing with rude people, which was about every 10 calls, I found that when they said VERY rude things to me 3 times and I maintained my professionalism(fixing their problem or not) I always found that they ended up realizing that they were very rude and they ended up apologizing. Is it justified that they should be rude? Of course not. I m guilty of being rude myself, BUT, it doesn t justify ruining someone else s day that really did not deserve it.

SUGGESTION: Ask for a supervisor or even work your way to the person responsible for your ordeal. At least make an attempt to make the person who is accountable work on the issue, and not the people getting paid chump change to make the millionaires richer. BAAAAAMMMM!!!!

BOTTOM LINE: "American s" are rude. PERIOD! We need to stop. No degree needed for that air force guy! Life experiences is all it takes to notice these things. We can and will fix this problem.

THAT S AN ORDER!

I work at a call center in America. I'm inbound as well, I've talked to plenty of nice Americans and have gotten cussed out by Canadians. You'll find jackasses anywhere, especially if you work at a call center. You'll meet plenty of nice and considerate Americans (believe it or not, I find that most of them live in the South) and you'll meet rude and inconsiderate Canadians. I love getting calls from other countries who automatically think that because I am American I am stupid, rude and have no idea on what I am doing.

There are so many different people in the world, and some are going to be more rude and ignorant than others. Just because you met some of those rude people does't mean they represent their country. That's a couple people out of billions and they happen to be American. I'm not the same as people living thousands of miles away and I'm not the same as people living ten miles away. I'm a person, not "one of those arrogant americans". I'm truly sorry that your first impression of Americans was a couple of rude people, but meet a couple million more before you can judge.

I'm sorry you experienced that but it's not that they are entirely rude per say, you said you work at a call center, and most of the time that someone needs to call a call center means that something doesn't work the way it is supposed to. Most Americans get very angry when they feel cheated and respond accordingly. But there are some that are as you say "rude americans" but it is not very common in my experience, and is only due to being improperly raised. Americans often aren't "rude" but more so ill conceived.

Life in the USA is hard even though we are the richest country! The average person is poor and works a lot with hardly any vacation time. There is nothing to look forward to! We are indentured to our student loan debt. We cannot afford health care. And because there is no safety net, we have a lot of anxiety. Lastly, businesses treat American customers very poorly in general. Because of this, most Americans are at the end of their tether and that is why we are sometimes rude!

It is a stereotype. Not all are rude, obnoxious, self-centered, ect. For the most part, our culture does a lot to make many Americans this way, our schools, government, etc. We are required to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at school, (which means we give a pledge to the American flag) if we don't we can get into big trouble. I don't do it because I find it stupid and pointless. It is just because of how we were raised and how our schools and government told us how we should act.

I'm sorry that you have had some rude Americans call you. We all have bad days. To tell the truth, it does depend on how you are raised. For instance, I was raised to respect my elders, and to be polite even when I don't feel like it. But, I have some friends whose parents were not around them long enough to teach them manners. My Dad has a quick temper, but he always tries to speak politely to people on the phone because it isn't their fault. And, you can't stereotype. Just because the majority of Americans that you talked to were rude, doesn't mean that you talked to the majority of all Americans.

The bottom line is that anyone proud is proud because they lack confidence. But there is no need to be proud if you are genuinely confident in yourself and have a good and peaceful understanding of the world in which you live. Next time you folks meet a proud person, please feel pity for him/her because such person is in trouble and needs to be rescued. But the correction must begin from you yourself. Be sure not to be the proud type. Remember that a proud person will be aggressive and is never truly happy. Do you know what emanates from the mouth of a happy fellow? Peaceful and thoughtful words. They are respectful, they respect others because they are respectable. But what happens when a respectable person is being insulted by some disrespectful person? He/she sees such person as not disrespectful but as a lost mind, a mind that needs some composure and some sound redirection at life.

Many times when I call customer service personnel they are cooperative, other times they are rude. The rude ones usually started off by being rude then senses some maturity in me but are too disappointed to change to being kind. It would be very odd to them to suddenly turn around and become nice. So they just complete their rudeness. But often than not they turn out to be goofing all through while I smile unnoticeably on my end.

People’s behaviors are the product of who they really are inside. That is why science study things to know how to address things. Peaceful words will come out of a peaceful heart. Same thing goes for aggression and rudeness. Just a reflection of the inside person. Please be kind to rude ones and never feel shaken by their rudeness. You will be shaken if you are same type of person.

That is why most of Americans are not aware of the "Start" button present on the bottom left corner of windows screen and they should be proud of this thing. Every time we guys, from India, have to guide them. You people are so dumb that you even don't have common sense which has become uncommon in your country. We, Indians, only are helping you working throughout clock and working 24*7 , just to help you guys out. Being your military forces, ambulance team or your telephone, we never deny to serve your stupids
