New Yorkers react to being named ‘rudest city in America’

Americans think New Yorkers are the biggest jerks in the country, according to a new survey released just days before Christmas, no less.

The slap-in-the-face Business Insider study found 34.3 percent of the knuckleheads who responded believe Big Apple residents are the rudest in the US.

But many locals were too polite to respond to the diss Monday.

F k off! one man told a Post reporter on 125th Street in Harlem when asked his opinion of the study.

I don’t think NYers are rude exactly. Say you’re walking down 5th Avenue and you ask somebody for directions. You’ll probably get them. But ask somebody for change, not so much. NYers have exquisite BS detectors. That’s part of it. They’re not patient. But for sheer denial of your essential humanity rudeness, you can’t beat DC.
