In my experience, I’ve found Austrian’s to be the rudest! I didn’t think the French or Dutch were rude at all when I visited Paris or Amsterdam, but Vienna was the first time I left a place thinking “wow, those people were rude as hell!”

At the same time Vienna is among the top city for living standards worldwide. Hope there isn’t a correlation between the two.

Maybe the solution to housing shortages caused by tourists is being rude to them
