Ah, Wisconsin - the state known for cheese, beer, and apparently, bad manners?

I just dropped my cheese curds in shock.  Just kidding, I'm not surprised a Wisconsin city made the list of rudest cities in the nation.

Wisconsin City Named One of the Rudest in the Nation

Even though New York City ranked as #1 rudest city followed by Los Angeles, we can travel a little further down the list and find Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Coming in at #49, Milwaukee made it.  Out of all Wisconsin's cities, this is the city with the least friendly people?  Interesting.  1.5% of respondents thought Milwaukee had the rudest inhabitants.
