Posted: 8/24/06 at 4:34pmWoot! Wichita is at number 20! And as someone who works with workers' compensation claims for an employment agency, I will second that whole-heartedly.

So much for Disneyworld being the happiest place on earth.
But how did Wilmington rank so high? I didn't know people actually lived there past 6 p.m.

Posted: 8/24/06 at 4:38pmNew Yorkers don't bottle things up, they 'let it out' - so their rank makes sense. As does Orlando, where everyone is told to 'smile' no matter what is going on - kaBOOM!

Posted: 8/24/06 at 4:42pmI am at 66 - I was soooo hoping for 69. But oddly enough - Milwaukee, the drunkest city got 69. Funny that!

I'm an angry guy, such an angry guy, on this lovely day...(Three Guys Naked...)
Their indicators are a bit misleading and that skews the results:
% of men with high blood pressure
assaults rates
traffic congestion & speeding citations.
High blood pressure doesn't always equal anger. Sometimes high blood pressure is just hereditary.
Traffic and speeding is the category that skews New York City. It doesn't measure sidewalk rage. It also doesn't measure public transportation.
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

St. Paul ranking higher than New York is total BS.
Hell, St. Paul ranking higher than Minneapolis is total BS. If Minneapolis took St. Paul in a cage match, Minneapolis would definitely win, it is just that much angrier.
This list is dumb.

Posted: 8/25/06 at 12:59amAs someone who lives in Wilmington, I'm amused that it's number six.

Wait...SF is number 91?? I find this hard to believe.
We are angry over Bay Bridge closures during holiday weekends, constant encroachment of open space by Yuppies and their big ass, ostentacious houses that cast shadows over the normal size ones next door, SUV's crowding our roads and spewing gas fumes, and traffic for no reason on rhe wide open lanes of 280!
We also just dealt with unhappy commuters that couldn't get out of Half Moon Bay due to road collapse. We JUST got over that.
I defy this rating!!!!

According to the little screen in my elevator here at work..I read this morning that Orlando ranked as the angriest city in the US.
it's a small world..after all.

how the Hell did Pittsburgh only make 90? This is the city that has such crazy football fans taht they threatened to kill the sixty-something-year-old woman whose car Ben Roethlisberger hit onn his motorcycle.
I hate my city so much...*sigh*
