I live in a rural tourist area and the worst thing is ppl think they’re in the middle of no where and start fires, shoot fireworks, and try to get territorial for no reason. Littering is my main beef. But fires are a huge second. People just don’t know how to handle fire.

On Vancouver Island they will shit literally anywhere. After summer ends, go camping literally anywhere and there is human shit

I have even seen it cooking on pavement outside of an outhouse at a roadside pullout

So. Much. Fucking. Litter.

Visitors who believe that because they paid a cruise company to bring them here that they are somehow special and deserve to be treated as such by all the locals.

Taking up sidewalks and roadways and just generally being fucking oblivious people are around them. Parking in front of people's driveways??? Littering, feeding seagulls, being oblivious fucking dipshits. Shore community here.

I live in Rome so you'd think I'd see more asshole tourists but surprisingly I've never seen anyone being outright awful! Maybe all the crazies just go to Venice lol. The ones that irk me the most though, as someone who takes public transit, is people with 0 train/bus manners, stop trying to get on while other people are getting off!! Step the fuck out of the way oh my god some of us are trying to get to work!!

Sticking their cameras (phones) where they don't belong. Pointing fingers or openly gawking at you: look at the locals, they're so picturesqe (Me thinking: hey, I wasn't even born in this country)!

I would have to think things like shitting in public. There's signs like this in locations around the world.

I used to live across the street from a relatively popular tourist attraction and would occasionally get tourists standing in front of my windows and commenting on things in my apartment. Once my girlfriend and I were eating breakfast in front of an open window and someone tried talking to us about how expensive something was in our apartment. Besides that the only regular rudeness was groups acting like they own the sidewalk. Usually its large families but I do remember one time what looked like a Russian oligarch trophy wife surrounded by an entourage of stereotypical body guards that had people swearing at them because they were not letting anyone else use the sidewalk as they headed for the tourist attraction.

It's not always tourists but stopping in unexpected places is a common irritation in NYC. Like, they're walking on the sidewalk and just stop, and mess up the flow of foot traffic. Maybe to look at their map or to gawk at something. It's extra annoying and a little dangerous when it's on the stairs
