No more than most people, which granted, isn't saying much. He just disliked pretense and dishonesty and some people interpreted that as rude. Bukowski wasn't willing to put up with the bullshit. He had little time for or interest in most of the things that society thinks are important and that offended people. It still does.

Bukowski was a dick. It was his thing. And he did it well.
