I think its Karachi , aap janab and mostly tahzeeb is what i see from karachites , the phrase "Bhai" also cme from Karachi .

the work ethic is better thn any city in Pakistan, better thn Islamabad .

 
I think Islamabad is the most mannered city in pakistan. The way we drive, interact is so much more civilized than other parts of pakistan. Also shops and restaurants close early as people have real jobs in the morning to go to. Lahore's are lazy as hell.
 
None of them. None of the cities have proper queues, people showing courtesy to each other in traffic, waiting patiently for their turns, etc. It is ridculous to suggest just language should be a barometer of manners/etiquette.

I would say our pathan brothers are probably the ones most mannered culturally and have the most etiquette.
They are very very gracious hosts, respectful, look after you well if you are a guest in their house or city. And yet their language remains as one of the most "akhar" language in pakistan. But one cannot deny their manners and rakh rakhao with fellow man.

I found people of Peshawar to be very confrontational
 
Karachi folks way of speaking Urdu sounds very nice to the ears and they use very respectful language. For example my Karachi friends use words like tashreef whereas I’ve heard others using much more crude language for that word

The slang used in Karachi ik daily life is also very crude

No one is more ill-mannered, rude & uncultured than an uneducated Pathan, & I say this as a Pathan myself.
 
I don't know about people of Rawalpindi or Karachi, but as a Lahori, I can confidently say that people from Lahore tend to very ill mannered.

Having traveled extensively all my life I would say people in Pakistan are very warm but very ill mannered at leas with strangers. We have no common courtesy. It’s shocking really

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] I am assuming you have never been to some of the villages in Punjab?
 
People manners (verbal) are okay across Pakistan but they have bad etiquettes. This includes corruption, not Q ing, no respect for personal space and ego.
 
Any city where old people are pushed for walking slowly, banana peels on sidewalks, honking in front of hospitals, spitting red paan water on walls, littering, harassing women, asking for bribes, openly stealing real estate, openly stealing electricity (kunda), and openly constructing private property on public land does not have any etiquette.
 
What exactly went wrong at Karachi Eat 2023?
On the last day of Karachi Eat's 10th installment, the attendees shared harrowing accounts of harassment and groping

For someone who hasn't missed Karachi Eat for the last five years, the 2023 run of the city's biggest food festival concluding in shambles wasn't much of a shock. On the last day of Karachi Eat's 10th installment, the attendees shared harrowing accounts of harassment and groping.

Eyewitnesses at Beach View Park recalled one of the entrances being breached by stags as several miscreants entered the premises without tickets. Videos of the unruly crowd went viral right after, where many called out the organisers for a mismanaged event. "Gates crashed. Families were harassed," Salman Muhammad, whose near and dear were present when the mishap happened, shared with The Express Tribune.

"Young Stunners refused to perform and everything was called off. The management just wrapped everything up. The security was equal to none." He concluded, "It's unfortunate, we have become uncivilised ghosts."

Eyewitnesses share ordeal

Similar accounts of the night surfaced on Twitter as well. A user shared, "Made it out thank god." The female attendee went on to add, "There were men outside the venue trying to get in to harass women. The police were trying to control them, and suddenly the lights went out and they were all hooting like crazy. Had to climb out of a broken wall to get safely to my car."

I'm a Punjabi and I say we would give you a good run for your money when it comes to being ill-mannered and rude.
 
That said, I reckon if gold medals were being handed out for crassness and rude behaviour, some districts of Kashmir would be leading the honours.
 
karachi is way too diverse to be compared to other cities, you will find the most shurfas as well as biggest thugs in the city.
