Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

Near the World Trade CenterAbout six months ago I was walking in the area around "Ground Zero" when I overheard some idiot tourist say, "Do you think all the dirt here is from the towers?"
It's New York, it's filthy EVERYWHERE! Burnt debris or otherwise. And it has been 3 years! Do you really believe that the ash wouldn't have washed away with the rain in that span of time!?
It's a wonder why I haven't gone on a tourist killing spree...
Only the American tourists bother me, or rather non-urbanite American tourists who dress in bright pastels, have big hair, speak way too slowly, walk way too slowly while taking up 75% of the sidewalk with their 5 Aryan children wearing Abercrombie & Fitch, etc. etc. etc.
No one should wear pastels, ESPECIALLY if you look like a shaved albino gorilla.
assholes.
no... no bitterness here...
