I rather suspect "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and the perception of attitude is in the ear of the beholder.

If there seems to be a particular attitude emanating from the British, for example, it's much more likely to be due it a mis-match of expectations and a misinterpretation of the tone as it passes from one culture to another.

For example in Britain, if an employee of some establishment or other greets us with "Have a nice day", it may be heard as sarcasm or condescension, and we'd rather not hear it. Similarly, what is perceived as rude or a bad attitude by others may depend upon the expectations of their cultural group.

Regards,
Peter
