Are Ohio people abnoxious and rude?

I'm from Long Island as well, Nassau county and now I live in L.A. My friend, it is safe to say that people from outside NY are very different. That doesn't mean that they are all rude, there are rude and nasty people in every town, state and country in the world. Unfortunately, there might be more ignorant people in certain areas but I'd like to think that you were just on a plane with some jerks and you shouldn't blame the whole state of Ohio for it. Always be open minded and never stoop to their level. Best of luck
