Who do some Americans in cities or urban areas look shocked, defensive and rude?

Update:

But I found many Americans in rural areas and small towns as great people. They are very warm, friendly and will greet you even that was the first you meet them. They always smile and very pleasant.

Different case when it comes to some people in urban/city areas.

Update 2:

I live in an urban area (near NYC area)

    It’s not that city folk are rude; it’s that people are rude. There are just so many of us living, working and breathing in such close proximity in the city that you’re bound to notice offensive behavior more frequently.

    In fact, as impolite as we might seem, there is actually a strict code of conduct when it comes to urban living. Walk fast, tip more than you should and always, always stand right and walk left on the escalator.
