There is something inherently nice about thanking people or helping someone pick up his stuff from the road. As someone who has done all sorts of jobs in his never-ending student days, I can personally vouch for the fact that Americans have been much more courteous to me than I was to people in similarly placed positions in India. It is a lesson I have learnt and I hope to carry it back home.

Confused has a different take on the Reader’s Digest “politeness survery”. He posits that the survey was measuring the level of courtesy and not rudeness so Mumbai might have been the least courteous of all, that’s all [hat tip: Chandni].
