When you are served tortillas with a meal, typically you put butter on it and eat it like we eat bread with our meal. Not stick everything in it and make a taco Though I do it, because I like it, but I know it's not the "legit" way to do it View Quote the Mexicans in Mexico did not follow your advice. Every place we went, they put stuff in the gorillas and ate it. |

In Fall River, Massachusetts the stuff you pump in your car to make it run is called "gazoline" or "gaz" for short. Never heard it pronounced this way any other place in New England
and Fall River natives still call it gaz to this day. |

I live in Vegas so the parade of tourists is world class. Only two sub-species really annoy me:
The 20-40 year old British male. They travel in packs and you can spot them easily because they all wear the same outfit: capri pants that are one size too small, bright green or orange in color and a tshirt or polo two sizes too small bright green or orange in color, whichever does not match the capri's. These packs of brightly colored morons come to Vegas and absolutely lose their minds. I always figured the sunshine and women who don't look like they got hit in the face with a flaming bag of nickels cause them to lose all inhibitions. Said morons will drink till near death and piss on anything that will stand still long enough. The 20-40 year old Guido's. Bobby, Joey, Petey and Ricky. They are from Jersey or NYC or absolute worst case Philly. This sub species of moron is the core driver of the $1000 bottle service clubs and $1500 pool party cabana rental industries. These types never wear shirts and at least one tribal tattoo is mandatory. This group views sexual assault as a team sport. The bottle girls and pool girls HATE these people but understand they are the reason they can make more slinging vodka than most engineers take home. Both of these groups keep the machine gun ranges in business and will take endless pictures of each other shooting machine guns and having a blast. They will then tell you that no one should be allowed guns. I won't get into people from California. Thats a whole other thing. |

Fuck conformity and made up rules/norms. Do what you like and quit worrying about what other motherfuckers are doing. No time in life for that shit. Like to eat your pizza crust first? Why should I care?

Quoted: http://i813.photobucket.com/albums/zz55/ma96782/AR15dotcom/got_poi.jpg Then, truthfully....it's the butter on rice thing, that makes me turn. Aloha, Mark View Quote Gah, never could stand the stuff. Didn't help that I had it in an elementary school lunch line, and thought it was some kind of pudding.. Funny, when I moved back to the mainland, nobody really knew what sushi was.. "Sushi? That's that raw fish, ain't it?" My wife and I went out for sushi tonight and picked between one of three different restaurants in our rotation, with probably another dozen or so within a few miles that we haven't tried yet. Now to track down whichever idiot decided that putting avocado in sushi to make it look pretty was a good idea (typical Japanese, though... looks and presentation matter more than taste, as a friend's mother found when she took a cake to a church bake sale in Tokyo.. All of the others were works of art, but tasteless. Someone bought hers out of pity and then came back later talking about how good it tasted...) |

Nothing too crazy around. I'd say it's mainly people ordering ketchup for their hot dogs (some at places that don't serve it), mispronouncing pizza place names, and just getting lost.

Tourists in DC stand on the left side of escalators.
It's very annoying and sometimes causes me to miss trains and have to be in DC longer. Also the locals are too fucking passive these days to even say "excuse me" and get them to move. |

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. View Quote Also, tourists wear shorts when it is below 80degrees, while the locals wear pants and sweatshirts. (Me and my brothers stood out when we visited for a wedding. But all that means is locals are spoiled pussies when it comes to weather! Shorts weather starts at 60 degrees! ) |

Quoted: One of the beautiful things about this site is we always have someone who knows the exact answer to the question. Yes, my son (USMC stationed in HI) has a girlfriend who hula dances (she's super hot) for a living because jobs for locals sucks. Yes.....they do hate the vacationer crowd. In fairness and totally related.....I'm from NE PA and we used to be a tourist destination (Poconos). We had the market on the Honeymoon resort trade and nice little ski areas. We had wonderful close knit little mountain towns and weekenders who had homes for years. That all changed when the scum came looking for cheap real estate. Look at the census and crime data for that area over the last even 20 years. Every scumbag from NYC and Metro NJ that wore out their welcome there, or most likely on the run from owing somebody money, came and invaded us turing it into a wooded fucking ghetto. Crime, rape, murder, trash and graffiti came. My township never had a murder until 1991. Now it's a weekly occurrence. never see a local name mentioned. Now there's lots of Arfcommers here that have moved to the Poconos and tell me how THEY are "different", but fail to realize that we've heard that tired old line from ALL of them over the last few decades and they are all equally worthless sub-human garbage. After 9/11....not 48 hours after, it seemed like every one of those scumbags was popping their trunks and selling memorial hats with embroidered FDNY, and NYPD logos and T shirts. NOT 48 HOURS AFTER! Now that's what I call ruined. I moved 970 miles away and sometimes i think I can still smell the stench of those fucking animals. View Quote Preach on brother. We have a hunting cabin dating back to 1927, we used to take guns in the off season when we visited to ward off bears. Now we take guns to ward off the locals. Monroe county. |
