Tourists can be obnoxious!
I hate tourists. Except of course, when I am one myself! But when I’m a tourist, I’m polite and neat and not obnoxious at all like most of the tourists that stand out when I go out. Living in an area where tourism is a big industry, I’m exposed to tourists almost every time I leave the house. I almost always see or hear one of them being loud, obnoxious and rude. They expect everyone around them to give them preferential treatment instead of trying to fit in with the locals. Whatever happened to the adage “when in Rome, do as the Romans do?”
I was reading on the Time.com Internet site this morning that there was a poll done among several countries among the hospitality industry to see which tourists are the best and which are the worst. According to the poll, the Japanese tourists are the best and the French are the worst.
