Since we just had the friendliest, let’s look at the opposite. Not exactly the one with the rudest locals but the unfriendliest, be it scams, pickpockets, aggressive touts, unfriendly environment, or bad service.

France, if you don’t happen to speak French
As someone who’s lived there for six years (albeit mostly homeless); yes.
Even if you’re trying to speak French, you’ll get treated like you’re speaking Swahili or something.
They just respond in English after hearing my childlike attempts to parle français
And asking them to speak English is like an indecent proposal, I guess they’d react more favourably if you asked for a public blowjob
Next time just ask for une pipe
Just say ‘excusez moi?’ it’s like a magic word to make them suddenly and eagerly speak English.
They won’t do it otherwise, but if you threaten to pollute their language with your barbaric pronunciation they’ll gladly jump on that grenade.
Even when speaking French fluently, I guess an accent is enough
Been to Strasbourg. Never again.
