05 Illinois
Home to Chicago, one of the busiest cities in the country following New York City, is also home to its fair share of rude residents. Illinois has a long-standing disagreement between Cubs and White Socks fans, a debate that easily divides the state. The state is also known for its versatile weather, meaning residents have to do double the laundry to keep up with the unpredictable changes.
Much of Illinois' rudeness may also come from a misinterpretation of their thorough love for the state. Illinois residents tend to be loyal, and if you have anything bad to say about their state, their response may come off as less than polite.
