I have been told I am rude and blunt a lot here in the US. Coming from Germany I simply refuse to adopt to the over-polite habits (compared to how I grew up). Especially annoying the frequent "excuse me" I hear in a store when someone needs to go by you - and that when there is 3 or more feet clearence.
