I guess different cultures have different ideas about what constitutes rudeness. My girlfriend is Asian, and grew up in Japan. She informed me that it is not considered rude in Japan. In the U.S., it is considered rude not to tip restaraunt workers. In Japan, tipping the waitstaff is considered insulting.
With that said, nothing pisses me off more than when someone bumps into me (not slightly brushes agains me, mind you) and acts as if nothing has happened. Personally, I apologize even when I lightly brush up against someone, but that's just me.
