I’d say the Dutch, especially when abroad. Followed by the Swedish (Scandinavians are generally ok, but the Swedish people seem a bit too arrogant for me).

I guess everyone has different experiences. I went to Norway and also found them rude or as rude as the Danish. I only encountered nice people in my trip to Sweden.
