Which kinds of behavior do Americans find unacceptable in public?

As a European that spends a lot of time in North America, I always note that in general politeness is common in Canada and the USA.

The concept of “rudeness” can be very subjective, so find this PEW research interesting:
Almost half of Americans say people have gotten ruder since the COVID-19 pandemic
Many Americans perceive a rise in rude behavior, and 34% say they see it almost always or often when they go out in public.
