Somebody once hoisted her skirt up, dropped a diarrhea on the wall in a cave, and continued on with her day as if she hadn’t just committed a speleological war crime.
Spewleology.
Tried to pet a blue ring octopus.
Grew up in a tourist town in Aus, the amount of stupid shit I have seen is wild.
Saw a tourist once bite into a meatpie still in its aluminium tray, and the pie was still hotter then the sun, so yeah, aluminium on the teeth and hectic burnt mouth, hahhahahah gave me a good giggle.
Tourists walking though a farmer’s tulip field, trampling the flowers, just to take a stupid picture. Not just one, but dozens of tourists per day.
I’m guessing, Chinese tourists in Holland…
Yes
They created a department named after a meme coin.
What?
Dept of gov effeciency
Doge
Kyoto, I’ve seen an older tourist literally stop 2 young ladies in kimonos by holding their hand out in front of them in a stop signal then pull out his camera and take a picture. Not once did he ask them. Treated them like they were characters at Disneyland.
And that’s why foreign tourists are no longer allowed on certain streets there. They ruin it for everyone.
Go hiking in insane heat with just a little water bottle. You’re going to die in an area with no cell phone service and it’s going to suck the entire time.
even more, will call emergencies and search & rescue services who will fly helicopters to the back of the mountain to pull out a dumbass wearing flipflops.
in our country it’s not yet charged but in such idiot cases, it should be.
They have to start doing health insurance (which is where an emergency rescue is or should be billed) like car insurance.
If it’s your fault, you have to pay much more.
And if you can’t afford the post your-fault car insurance you don’t get to drive a car, so if you can’t afford the post your-fault health insurance you don’t get to live?
I assumed this was for tourists, so you don’t get to visit other countries anymore.
Vandalize government property and smear human feces on walls, while legislators are having a meeting doing official government duties
wait a minute, those didn’t seem like tourists…
I live in New Orleans and the police on Bourbon St. ride specially-trained, very large horses for crowd control. I’ve definitely seen some drunk tourists try to resist an officer’s command to calm down by trying to push back on the horse and the horse just being totally unphased.
I had to move a horse, to fill its water bucket while it was eating. I tap and talk, nothing. I push, can’t. I had to punch it literally as hard as I could so it would acknowledge me. They have really thick skin.
Disclaimer: Don’t punch a horse if you don’t know it and what you are doing. They get scared easily and you won’t be the first to get your jaw wired back together.
Not that crazy but I’d never seen anything like it before.
Over 15 years ago, I was standing in a very long line at St. Basil’s in Moscow. A small pack of tourists (half a dozen or so) started to “sneak” their way into cutting in line. About 30 French people in a tour group immediately started scolding them in loud unison. They shamed them into taking their place at the end of the line. It was such an automatic and united scolding. Highly entertaining.
A fellow traveler, far more experienced than I am, said that the French are known for doing that sort of thing.
Usually French tourists are among the worst behaved, so that’s kinda weird
France is south to the Germans, Swedes etc but north to Italians, Greeks etc. So there are both people trying to cut in line (it can be any one, an old lady or a young person), but then other people fight them back with loud “oh you are in a hurry?!!”, “Oh, we just stand here, not queueing at all!!”, or the “Heey! / Eeh!”
Sort of some urban training it feels like.
France is west of Germany, mein Freund.
Das is richtig mein freund!
Well, the northen france is on pair with southern germany, but the idea here is the north/south differences, where in the north people are on time and follow rules, in the south not so much.
You say germans are not on time?
Das ist nicht sehr höflich.Germans: arrive 20 minutes early because “you never know”
The thing I was trying to convey was, Germans and Swedes follow the rules religiously, south europe not so much.
A big group of Chinese tourists wanted to be first on a boat for some reason so they all just started shoving everyone out of the way, including little old ladies and children. It was really shocking behavior, like suddenly everyone around them was no longer a person. The boat was huge and had plenty of room for everyone so it wasn’t really obvious why they decided to attack people, they didn’t really gain anything by being the first aboard.
I went snorkeling in a group alongside a Chinese tourist family. The dad literally swam over top of me. To be clear, I was floating on the surface. Instead of going around me, he just swam over me, legs kicking and all. Fucking weirdest experience ever.
For some reason I find that hilarious I would’ve been so shocked I wouldn’t have reacted.
Was in a brewery in South Carolina, tourist asks the bartender for a bud light. Bartender politely explains that it’s a brewery, make their own beer, and directs him to a beer menu. Tourist says, “just give me whatever is closest to a bud light.” Absolute monster.
Bartender hands him a water
Pees in it a little first.
So just a regular Bud Light.
Is that why it burns when I pee? The carbonation?
Sounds like gonorrhea. You might get yourself checked.
This is alcoholic behavior. The alcoholics I know that drink beer (vs wine or whatever) absolutely drink only light beer by the gallon and will order it wherever they are.
I used to work for a large craft brewery. We’d have the same sentiments sometimes.
Someone was furious we wouldn’t sell them a keg of Miller. Homie, I don’t know how to explain this better, but we only sell the beer we make and that ain’t it

A British tourist riding on the worst metro line left her (expensive) phone on the seat and went behind the seat to look at the metro map. Even stayed there while the doors were open and at least me and three more people could have easily snatched it and left. I don’t think the subway in the UK is much better so not sure what she was thinking.
The only place where I’d do this would be in one of those Islamic countries where they cut your hand off for stealing
Nah, draconian punishments are usually a sign of high-crime, low-enforcemwnt, so you’re overdoing punishment to drive the point home for the few thieves you manage to catch.
This one is just Sharia law, lol. The UK used to have similar draconian punishments for stealing, namely, deportation to Australia
Haggle and argue with a street vendor in a 3rd world country. He might’ve been mildly overcharged but the kind of amount that even I let go as a local.
Plus since there’s basically 0 tourism here many just like to give away stuff for free to em.
Many also treat the tourist as a tourist attraction lol. Staring and awkwardly asking for photos and what not.
Weeeell, tourists are often seen as easy money even in rich countries. There are tourist traps all over and when you don’t speak the language or don’t know the place, it’s very easy to get ripped off. Plus, if you grew up in a place with markets, it’s quite normal to haggle - some people go to the market just to haggle because it’s fun.

This sounds like an actual nightmare
Vote to leave Europe and then complain that you lost all benefits living in Benidorm

Only because they couldn’t figure out how to leave
Brits in Spain are a truly strange bunch. Live in Spain for decades, cannot speak Spanish but complain about immigrants in the UK who manage to speak English.
