Yep,
Know what you mean.
I was even mentioning that to faile too, just a few moments ago.
There are lots of stories/misunderstandings about that american attitude (attiDude <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />) in Europe.
A well spread one is that ppl in the USA don't know their neighbours. That they all just walk by eachother in big cities. And that they all live in skyscrapers.
I wrote a short story about that once (only published in the USA by Readers Digest).
About a Flemish women who visit the big apple.
She rushes from here to there on tours and stuff. On a 5 minute break she buys some postcards and writes them while on a tour in the metropolitan.
She writes stuff like "the new yorkers are always in a hurry, rude and have no manners, this is my worst holiday ever"
She has to keep up with the guide and group though and she forget about the postcards.
Back outside she remembers, hurry back and look for them at places she thinks she left them. But can't find any.
...
Back home her freinds and family thank her for the nice postcards.
She's like "who?where?what?uh?"
Her parents show her the card they got and below the lines she wrote, there's something added.
In a nice, small handwriting you can read "mailed by a rude newyorker".
