Is it just us, or is rudeness in the air lately? Serena, Federer, Joe Wilson, Kanye West...people sure have been nasty, lately.

From asking someone why she's still single to talking too loudly on a cell phone, more than 2,500 Cosmo girls responded to the list of rude actions and rated each behavior on a scale of 1 through 10 (with 10 being the rudest).

    Wow. You could only name five?!

    First of all, "letting" your kids do ANYTHING is rude. Children should behave in public. Period.

    And with the practically inhumane way the airlines are running now, it's really hard to get on a plane in a good mood anymore. So by the time people actually get to their seat, selfishness is in full swing. No one even tries being pleasant or accommodating and then it just turns into a vicious cirlce of "rudeness."

    Other than that I think holding up lines (bank, grocery store, etc.) when you know other people are waiting is very rude.

    And I think people in traffic (driving too slow, cutting people off, not letting someone in your lane when you can CLEARLY see they need over) is also rude.

    And I personally hate it when peopole think it is perfectly okay to ask you, "is that your REAL hair? Do you bleach your teeth? How much did your ________ cost?" That's none of your business.

    Well this is Cosmo we're talking about, so our expectations of intellectual integrity can't be above that of a junior high schooler. I can think up a lot of OTHER ways people can be rude without resorting to trashing kids or obese people.

    I work in the public sector. The rudest thing is when people are angry about the information we provide to them the first thing they say oh you have this easy job with the government you must be under educated and English is your second language..........

    True English is my second language, what they dont know is that I am a US citizen with a college degree and used to managed at least 15 people.

    Those same people ..........some can't make the correct spelling on their personal checks.

    People who flaunt their credentials "Well I have a Masters Degree ...."

    So! Not everyone can afford college or take time away from their families. Its almost like saying "Well, I've got more money, influence, and status then you so..."
