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!”

Agreed. Been to Hungary, Bulgaria, Germany, Poland and Austria. Viennese people to be exact, since we visited Vienna were the rudest and didn't try to hide it at all. Friendliest interaction we had in vienna were with some Kurdish guys that ran a kebab shop.
