Orlando Tops List of Angriest U.S. Cities
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 08.21.06 | 6:55 AM ET
Say it ain’t so, Mickey Mouse! Orlando, Florida, home of Disney World, ranked at the top of Men’s Health’s list of angriest cities in the U.S. How can one of the self-proclaimed happiest places on earth be located in the angriest city in the U.S.? The story on the magazine’s Web site gives no explanation of how it arrived at its list of the 100 angriest cities, so if you live in one of them, don’t get too angry about your arbitrary designation. Use it as an excuse to get yourself to Vanuatu fast. The country was recently selected as the happiest country on the planet. Or, perhaps even better, head to the Florida Keys to that other happiest place in the world: Margaritaville. Thanks for the tip, Eli.

In March, I visited Orlando for the first time and found it rather infuriating. From the twenty toll booths I went through on the drive to Kennedy Space Center to the sea of mouse ears at the jam-packed airport, I was p*ssed. I don’t know about Margaritaville, Mike. If forced to hear Jimmy Buffet songs, I might go postal.
And by the way, what’s up with Oakland coming in at #49? The Raider Nation alone should put it in the top three.

I’ve lived in Orlando for over 20 years. It is hell on earth. Between traffic gridlock, clueless tourists, crime infested slums, lack of any real culture, and the smothering heat & humidity, I think it drives people insane. I have no doubt that it is the angriest city in America.

I am having a hard time getting used to the idea that Orlando can actually be considered as one of the angriest cities in the US but that could probably be due to the fact that almost everyone comes here with overanticipation which as we all know leads to disappointment, that could well be the reason.
