A bit of a generalisation here, but the rudest people I've ever come across are Jewish New York women.
They take pleasure in being aggressively obnoxious to you.
They want you to lose it, and be as rude back to them, as they are being to you.
The best thing to do is to appear genuinely polite, and not to rise to their bait.
Eventually, after they haven't managed to start a fight, you seem to earn their respect, and they turn into charming pussycats.
Weird, but that's my experience.
