Apparently, we've gotten ruder. Whatever.
After finishing in sixth place last year, Boston lands at No. 5 on this year's Travel and Leisure annual survey of America's rudest cities. Here's what they had to say about us, as if you care.
"Are they just a bunch of smart mouths? Folks in Beantown ranked near the top forintelligence, but that didn't endear them to visitors.
