While most of what has been said is generalisation and is questionable, America's external policies have made it the most hated nation in the world. So don't expect sympathy or friendship from other countries as you have had the ability to change this for many years but haven't.
The French have always been rude, and trust me, they're much worse with Brits than they are with Americans. But I have to agree with them on one thing, Americans are by far the rudest and most obnoxious tourists in the world, hands down.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the more volume the airport has the greater the chances of running into employees with attitude...
It's the nature of the beast.

I don't mind the French, they think their it sometimes and can be a bit offish which makes me laugh but their ok.
I'm half English and half Irish, most Europeans hate Brits with passion, due to the fact we have a reptuation for getting in fights and getting drunk which if your in most Spanish or Greek resorts it's quite evident, unfortunatly they think the same about all British people.
Two youths tried to mug a friend of mine with a knife in Spain so he knocked the lad with a knife out and proceeded to chase the other one who had ran off, the police got involved my mate explained his story but got arrested for assault and went in no protest about it, however the police decided to give him a good beating anyway with nightsticks.

Well they aren't friendly when entering the county. But after you pass customs my experience is that most US citizens are very friendly and nice.I really had a great time visiting the USA, did some roadtripping and it was really a blast. When you tell them that you are from Amsterdam/Holland they all want to know about the red light district and the coffeeshops. They also think that we dutchies are constantly stoned and go to the hookers 3 times a week.
I think in every country their are friendly people and not so friendly people.

Bah..people are just being jealous. Rudeness comes with the arrogance of being a super power. you mess with me and you get fucked. End of story.
If you want to enter into USA, get ready to be subjected to humiliating checks. Yes, we think you are all terrorists unless and until proven otherwise.

re: original post
wait, so you're telling me that you want to get into this country AND be treated with politeness and respect?? It's one or the other budy, one or the other LOL
Seriously, America rules. I'd rather be rude than a bunch of pussy footers. We get shit done here. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

I cross Us customs by land pretty often and for the first while they were real pricks.After a few months they started recognizing me and even know me by name lol...no more problems.I can get were they are coming sometimes as i've seen Chinese citizens and what not attempt to cross sans passport.If I saw this shit as much as they do i would find it hard to be friendly too.Honestly the Canadian Customs officials are more rigorous and bigger pricks.I always get hasseled more coming back in.
Apparently the mexican/us border people are the worst.They call mexicans thonks because that is the sound you get when you whack them with a mag lite.That doesn't look good for you guys.
The rednecks are pretty bad but most of the city folk are friendly as long as it isn't NYC
