Just because it eats grass doesn't mean it won't happily gut you like a fish if given the chance.

You guys havent seen Paris. The whole inner city is basically a walt disney world-esque tourist colony. I went into a store there once and automatically everyone speaks English; I however detected an accent in the qt storeclerk. I asked are you French? To which she replied: "yes oh my God you too?"
Its that bad

In other words, if CWC had been born Chinese, nobody would have noticed anything odd about his behavior...

Those are probably Chinese. Japanese are a lot more respectful and the only ridiculous thing they do is constantly take pictures of absolutely everything.

Tourists make commuting through London very painful. They stop randomly, wait until the ticket barriers to find their Oyster cards, pull luggage around which is a trip hazard...

Isnt that fucking dangerous!?
The kids could have gotten crushed by the rotating walls. In fact an employer actually did get killed by a similar attraction in disney in the late 80s.

Not just crushed, IIRC. I believe said employee was decapitated by the America Sings turntable.

I live in a sleepy little beach town known for a very iconic and very large natural landmark. You can see it from nearly every place in town and I've still been asked by tourists where "The Rock" is. Sometimes it's justified since we do get pretty dense fog at times and you can't see said rock from a mile away, but usually all you have to do is turn around and not be stupid.
We also have some very brave seagulls on the waterfront who don't give two shits about people. There are signs everywhere warning people not to feed them and they still do it. The other thing people don't realize is that you can't leave your food unattended for any amount of time if you're eating outside. Many years ago when my family was out to eat at a waterfront restaurant, another family had gotten their food and placed it on an outside table then went back in to get salad stuff. My dad tried to get the man's attention that he needed to watch the food but the guy was like "yeah, whatever dude." It only took ten second for a flock of seagulls (the birds, not the band) to swarm the table and decimate everything on their tray. Hitchcock tried to warn us, dude!
Chinese tourists are super pushy and loud. I've heard it said (maybe on this forum even) that the concept of forming a neat and orderly line isn't really a thing in China so they don't get that it's rude as hell in other countries to form a swarming mass in front of the cashier while shouting randomly. It used to be that the tour buses would stop by Home Town Buffet (usually Korean tourists) but since it closed they just stop by where my mom works. She went up to a guy to ask if he needed any help and he just shouted "CHINESE!". She just kinda backed up and walked away. They were all just shouting across the store stuff like "王老师/老師这是什 ORANGES!!!!!"

Once, I was in Florida with a bunch of friends who were throwing food up and betting on which seagull would catch it. I thought the idea was retarded, and finished my cigarette, and flicked it off the balcony to head back inside. I instantly felt really awful, as I heard the pained squawk of a seagull that chomped down on my butt lit end first.

OMG, fucking South Americans who not only are unruly brown hoards of animals, but vandalize public beach facilities by carving their names, cities/countries, dates, etc. into the sidewalks, benches, shelters, etc. Whoever you are, Marcio from Sao Paulo circa 07-22-09, go fuck yourself.
Also, being behind tourists who buy a shopping cart full to the brim with food, but their card doesn't work because they didn't alert their bank. The poor clerk had to talk to these people with their smartphone translator.

:powerlevel: Living my life in Las Vegas has exposed me to every kind of toxic, obnoxious, brain dead, loud mouthed, and foul asshole the planet has to offer. Since we pretty much host the UN of douchebaggery here I can honestly say the locals are constantly praying for a nuclear holocaust because fuck the rest of the planet.
And for everyone saying the Chinese are goddamn pains in the ass, I've worked with and for them during CES. Everyone that has to deal with them wants them gone as soon as they set foot on the convention floor. They are beyond pushy and act more entitled than a vegan at a steakhouse. If it isn't bolted down they will try and steal it. Doesn't matter if it has your trade show companies logo on it that shit is going to get stuffed in their shipping crates if you don't grab it before they do, but God help you if you pull your gear sooner than they can steal it because they will raise hell.

Do snowbirds count? I'm counting snowbirds, they hog up the streets and gas stations with their big-ass RVs, and they crowd in stores stockpiling on our food and shit every winter, and I swear they stay longer every year. I know economically they're good for us (despite being mainly retired fogeys), but for fuck's sake, pick the state you actually want to pass away and get buried in the most.
As for tourists, I remember being in Disneyland for the first time when I was ten and we were just walking and these Japanese tourists crowded around us to take pictures of my brothers and I ('cause we were just too damn cute I guess, also being a little blonde girl probably was a bonus). Then as they walked away, one of the ladies patted my behind. To this day I wonder if they just really mistook me as younger than I was given my short status, methinks she might not've done that if she knew I was ten. There was another incident that I didn't see (Mom told the story a few times), but at the Neverland pool apparently one of my brothers was being passed around by other Japanese ladies to coo at him and his big blue eyes.

If you've been to Las Vegas as many times as me, you quickly learn to avoid Las Vegas Boulevard like the plague and use Paradise Road, Frank Sinatra Drive, and Dean Martin Drive to get to and from your hotel because everything slows to a dead stop when the Bellagio fountains go off or the Mirage volcano erupts.

Did you get some dank weed?
Agreed on the Chinese tourist thing. Or just Chinese in general. Where I live the highest population aside from white people are Asians. The Koreans aren't so bad, but wow, the Chinese are annoying. Sometimes a bus full of Chinese tourists will show up in my neighborhood. Always with Asian people. This one time I saw a bunch of them hanging out at the local store I shop at. Except none of them bought anything and they used the bathroom after hanging out and then left. Because they were too cheap to shop there.

Yeah geez. Let's spook an animal that weighs a metric ton and consists of nothing but dense bone tissue, muscles and horns. What could possibly go wrong?

I've only ever encountered this entitlement from British tourists, most notably British youth on vacation in Croatia, where they act like a bunch of spoiled cunts because they can buy beer for a pound. The ignorance is also astounding, coming from well-meaning Brits who seemed cool until one of them gawked at the fact that Croatia has internet. I can out quote OFAH any day of the week, son.
Americans who come here are generally great. There was a hippie couple from Wisconsin backpacking through Europe, and they loved it here, as you do.
No offense to British kiwis. Stereotypes are a bitch.

Back in the day I'd go to the Disney World parks a lot.
Gawking at the people was so great. You'd spot the brits a mile away because they'd be white as a ghost, except for the ones that were red as a beet and basically dying of heat stroke. BRs would be some impressive tour groups. Similar to the HUEHUEHUE stereotype of the internet but different in execution.
