About a third of Americans (34%) say they almost always or often see people behaving rudely<\/a> when they\u2019re out in public. Of course, what feels rude to one person might seem perfectly fine to someone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So which public behaviors cross the line for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We asked a nationally representative sample of 9,609 U.S. adults about eight situations they might encounter while out and about. Their answers varied, especially by age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See how your views on certain public behaviors stack up against others your age \u2013 and people in different age groups.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
