I get to see busloads of tourist ride by places where they film the Walking dead , places like a high school and an old hospital a small town with a dying downtown . You can find the same things all over America

When I was in Italy, I was too busy complaining about no ice in the water. Ice, dammit! I'm in Italy in July and I want ice in my water! I thought this place was civilized, so why is there no ice anywhere? SENZA GASSE, you barbarians! Why is all the water carbonated? Dammit. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Chicago "pizza" Tourists didn't screw that up, Chicago did. East coast style (NY/NJ) pizza or nothing. You guys ever been to Italy before? It's funny when someone from a pizza state goes to Italy and orders real pizza for the first time. Go to any touristy place and you'll hear Americans bitching about the pizza being made incorrectly.

ordering ranch with chicken wings when there was still a hooters here them cooking wings with breading on View Quote This. I grew up in WNY. Wings are served with blue cheese. Mild, medium and hot are the only flavors. There's a lot of places that serve good chicken wings, but don't call your honey Parmesan breaded wings dipped in ranch "Buffalo" wings. |

I grew up near Louisville, Ky. So, you could always tell someone wasn't from there when they moved their lips while they talked. You don't move your lips when you talk with the N. KY, S. IN accent. You just kind of open your mouth and let the words fall out as lazily as possible.
Or as I once heard an electrician from rural GA (so, actually from the south and not a transplant) exclaim regarding the Louisville "accent," "I grew up in the south! I'm southern! That ain't southern. I kain't understand a word he's sayin!!" |

Quoted: Hawaiians hate haoles. View Quote Who else would locals get to rob, scam and fuck? My cousins would often (and maybe still do) keep a running total of stupid white chicks they fucked. Nothing like fucking that dumb blond from Iowa who you've cleverly separated from her group like she was a cow during a cattle drive. Have to admit some of their antics can be hilarious. Should take a trip out there one of these days to see the extended family. |

The whore he fucked is dead to the world on the filthy mattress just outside the bathroom and there's a fly that keeps landing on one of her tits emboldened by the fact that she isn't conscious enough to swat it away. |

The white/horribly sunburned people going in the water when the air temp is 72 and the water temp is 62, in March, in California. Yup, tourists.
Watching people try to eat New York style pizza that aren't familiar with it. You fold that shit in half. Directions: Southern California is a pretty big place, from the northern part of Los Angeles to the Mexican border and out to the 15 is bigger then a lot of states. I have had people stop and ask me where Disneyland is, only to find out they drove down from LA to go there and wound up in San Diego. They are pretty bummed when they find out it is about 2 hours back the way they came. TV and movies have people thinking that all the major cities, tourist attractions and landmarks are like 10 minutes from one another. |

Whatever it is, you're eating lots of it. I half expected her to start chawing down on a raw turnip. |

I'm from Boston, so pretty much every movie ever made where they tried to copy a Boston accent. For some reason nobody can do it right. A Maine accent IS NOT a Boston accent. The Kennedy's DID NOT have a Boston accent. They had some sort of twisted Maine accent and for the life of me I don't know why. I think even actors who are actually from Boston are coached into screwing it up - just look at Ben Affleck in Good Will Hunting. Mark Wahlberg has a genuine Boston accent, he's obviously a Dot Rat, but Hollywood doesn't seem to realize there are different variations of the accent depending on the neighborhood so they just try to make some sort of generic monstrosity that doesn't fit any of them.
As for tourists, for christ's sake cut the shit with the, "Say pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd" bullshit. I moved 3,000 miles away and still have to put up with that out here. "Are you from Boston? Say pahk the cah in hahvahd yahd". No. Nobody says that. I've never even seen Harvard Yard. It's private property. Tourists can't even say "wicked pissa" properly. Give it up. But you're all more than welcome to get your Neil Diamond on at a Sox game. We can all share in a little Sweet Caroline |

Watching people try to eat New York style pizza that aren't familiar with it. You fold that shit in half. My co worker is from Poland and wanted to take his 18yr old American born daughter to see their relatives back in the motherland. View Quote After a week of the local food his daughter wanted something different, so the family told them about this thing called pizza hut that just opened. My buddy thought it was strange that everyone got all dressed up to go out for pizza, but figured small town folks don't get out much and just rolled with it. He damn near shit himself when he walked in and there was a matre de and waiters with towells over their forearms. When their pizza came (a single slice on a China plate) he picked his up and folded it and started to chow down. His family and everyone around looked at him in shock with his mom asking inin hushed tones"Andrezj, do you want people to think we are all farmers?" Yep, they make a big deal out ofof going out to eat American food and eat pizza with a knife and fork. |

Gerald Ford came to my home town and tried to eat a tamale with the shuck on in 1976. Beat me to it. I have seen Yankees do that since then. I have also seen them ask for ketchup for their tacos. I worked with a guy that when asked what he was going to do at his retirement party told everyone he was going to tie a tamale to his car's radio antenna and drive north until someone said, "What is that?" The EEO lady just about passed out. Where I live, it is river drunks. Folks from out of town just don't understand the proper protocol for being a river drunk. |

The college kids who come from different states and rent houses, condos and screw up peoples private homes cause the kids want to have parties all night.

My daughter was watching a video on youtube in which this family does all kinds of shit we can't afford, and they were vacationing in Hawaii. While they were at one of the stereotypical touristy "luaus", watching some stereotypical "hula" dancing, I wondered, do those locals clock out at the end of the day with disdain for how their cultural things have been turned into a "tourist itinerary stop"? It made me think, are there any regional "food combinations" or orders that they see tourists massively screw up? What have you seen that's exclusive to your "region" done completely wrong by someone from a different area? Here it's things like ordering sweet tea not knowing it's going to be a big glass of iced sweet tea, or putting sugar on grits, drinking from the glass of water they bring you with beignets, etc. I'm guilty of putting chinese entrees on fried rice instead of plain steamed white rice. I don't put cinnamon in chili or any of that yankee stuff. View Quote Cheese Steaks....Theres really on one way to do this...very thinly sliced beef on a roll with tomato sauce and cheese and onions or whatever other "normal" topping you want. When I started traveling out west two decades ago, I ordered a "Philadelphia Cheese Steak" from some small eatery...what I got was this abomination that contained large chunks of steak on a roll with ALFALFA sprouts... |
