Just off the top of my head, what they could find rude et al include
- professionalism of students in schools (sleeping in class, slouching, etc)
- attitudes towards authoritative figures (teachers, cops, etc)
- slow drivers in the left lane... heh
- attitudes of "don't care" employees that don't take responsibility for their work
- business attire and attitudes (i.e. different customs)
- treatment of elders (i.e. sending them to old folks home)
- tolerance of children being rude
- table manners (differ from country to country)
- possibly use of inappropriate words in a derogatory manner... gay, lame, ######ed (personally this bothers me the most)
Note that I grew up in Canada myself so they arn't a concern of mine (except the last point - that really bothers me, but I digress), just pointing ones I could see a foreigner seeing.
