Publish Not your original work? Add source Living in a tourist destination, around the canals of Amsterdam or the old city streets of Florence, may indeed sound very romantic, but turns out this is not always the case. In fact, it rarely is. How come? Well, the answer is in the first part of the title; namely, you get a bunch of super excited and very out-of-context tourists. And so, unbeknownst to you, you become their guide for directions, their local entertainment, your house is on their must-see list, and you get it. So when someone asked people "who live in holiday destinations, what's your most ridiculous 'damn tourists' moment" on r/AskReddit, it was destined to become a one hell of a read. From people casually walking inside your home, thinking it's one of the sightseeing spots, to tourists complimenting your English, these are some of the things that happen when you live in places from the fridge magnets. This post may include affiliate links. #1 NYC. Post 9/11, walking past the ruins of the World Trade Center and some middle-aged women tourists are chatting and laughing and posing with the ruins of the WTC behind them for a group shot. I worked there and was lucky not to be in the building when it happened. I was just so infuriated that I yelled out "it's not f**king Disney Land" and they lost their smiles.

Lots of Native American people here.
And being NM, we get lots of Texans in the summer. My (Native) friend is a river rafting guide and shared this gem with me:
She was on a raft with a family...mom, dad, teenage son and daughter. Friend points out a bighorn sheep up ahead, everyone starts freaking out.
Texan Mom: "So since there's game, do you ever see the Indians hunting out here?"
Friend: "Excuse me?"
Texan Mom: "Like, the Indians. They still live out here, right?"
Teenage Daughter: (realizes my friend is Native) "MOM"
Texan Mom: "What, I'm just asking!"
Friend: "Actually, most of us just go to the grocery store."
Texan Mom: "Wow, you're an Indian? Your English is like, almost perfect!"

View more comments To find out more about what it's like to live in a place that many of us have on our fridge magnets, we spoke with Kacie Burns, American actor, dancer and singer who moved to live in Florence, Italy. Kacie is now sharing positivity, travel, cultural differences and the quirks of life abroad with her thousands of social media followers, so you should definitely check her out! When asked what it's like living in such a hot tourist destination like Florence, Kacie said that she lived in NYC for ten years, so she is used to living in a tourist destination. "There are definite pros-the scenery, the accessibility, the blending of cultures because there are so many people from all over the world that visit. However, at the same time, a big con is that it's almost always very crowded and busy," she said. #4 Canadian Rockies - Tourists who pull over on the side of the road to get close-up pictures of bear cubs.

It's not, the locals swim between the flags because we don't want to die.
Also, if I offer you sunblock and a hat, take it. This isn't Europe, I've gotten sunburnt in 15mims, you will bake regardless of your skin colour/nationality.
It's always so strange to me that Australia gets a bad wrap for all these things that are "trying to kill you" but I think sometimes tourist are just trying to get killed.

View more comments However, living in Florence as a local differs from staying there as a tourist. Kacie thinks that it's because "it becomes your home-you pass the same beautiful buildings and streets every day, so it becomes easy to be desensitized to it all." On the other hand, "you also begin to build a community here when it's your home. You get to know the city and the people living in it like the back of your hand. You feel like you belong, which is an awesome feeling," Kacie said. It's hard not to idolize such a beautiful old city with so much culture like Florence, especially when you're a tourist. But according to Kacie, to a certain extent, everyone does that and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that. "It truly is a beautiful place, and while-like everywhere-there are the not-so-great things about Florence, it's hard not to idolize or romanticize a city when everywhere you look looks like a fairytale book," Kacie concluded. #7 I find it super annoying when I see people parked on the side of the road trying to lure the Bears closer to their cars with food. Even worse when we pull up and warn them not to and their response is "chill out bro, it's only a bear" ........also, when people just decide to run up to baby deer and bother it, its mom is nearby and will go crazy. There's a reason why there are so many warning signs to not bother the wild creatures and to keep your distance. Oh and littering, take your damn food wrapper and put it in a trash can, a**hole.

We'd always get a tour bus full of foreigners and yankees coming in from Miami every couple of days during snowbird season.
Had a f**king guy ask "Hey, are we allowed to swim in the water?" while he was standing in front of a 14 foot stuffed gator flanked by four 6 foot water moccasin skins. We'd also get people who'd complain about the heat and the bugs. Like...holy f**king s**t you just came to the largest wetland in the country, what exactly were you expecting?

Some of my brother's friends related a time when they were sitting down for dinner and, having forgotten to lock their front door, were greeted by some tourists who decided to just walk around inside their apartment.

apparently, tourists jumped on icebergs floating around
last summer there was a huge outrage about people relieving themselves in the wild x

I've been asked a lot of dumb tourist questions during my time there, but there are two that really take the cake.
"Does the Maid of the Mist ride up the falls?" Asked by a grown man. I could understand a 5 yr old child with no understanding of physics, but seriously no adult should ever ask that question.
"Which falls belongs to what country?" Asked by a large Texan (I could tell by the accent and the huge belt buckle). I told him that the Horseshoe Falls were in Canada and the American and Bridal Veil falls were in the US. "NO!" he shouts back to me. "The larger one belongs to the US because everything in the US is bigger!". "Umm ok" I squeaked out. He must have been looking for a fight.

Wear proper shoes - if you're going for a bushwalk, wear the right footwear
You didn't just become a 4WD expert, maybe don't drive there
If you see a warning sign follow it - saw some people dip their kids into the water at a beach which is notorious for jellyfish, everyone else is wearing a stringer suit, except the 5year olds. Also, don't freaking fish there! There's a no fishing sign near my place, it's not to be a buzz kill. It's because the land near the water was used to produce Agent Orange.

I need to put 20 cents on my fare card. An entire troupe of boyscouts are at all of the machines trying to figure them out like it's some sort of complicated puzzle. They were spread out throughout the entire room so that there wasn't a single open machine. I almost killed children that day.
If you go to DC and are going to ride the metro and don't want to piss off locals:
If you have a big group, don't go during rush hour.
If you can't figure out the machines, just use one.

So, just to be nice, I offered to translate for her and solved her problem. She didn't say thank you and sat down for the ride.
When we arrived, we started walking up the hill from the bus station next to each other, and I asked "so, where are you from, and why are you visiting my tiny village?". She responded "I don't talk to strangers" and sped up.
I just laughed at her and replied, "What, are you a 7-year-old little girl? I just helped you on the bus back there, and now you're being rude to me?"

30 Of The Most Damn Tourists Moments Shared By People Who Live In Holiday Destinations
Liucija Adomaite andKotryna Brašiškytė
Publish Not your original work? Add source Living in a tourist destination, around the canals of Amsterdam or the old city streets of Florence, may indeed sound very romantic, but turns out this is not always the case. In fact, it rarely is. How come? Well, the answer is in the first part of the title; namely, you get a bunch of super excited and very out-of-context tourists. And so, unbeknownst to you, you become their guide for directions, their local entertainment, your house is on their must-see list, and you get it. So when someone asked people "who live in holiday destinations, what's your most ridiculous 'damn tourists' moment" on r/AskReddit, it was destined to become a one hell of a read. From people casually walking inside your home, thinking it's one of the sightseeing spots, to tourists complimenting your English, these are some of the things that happen when you live in places from the fridge magnets. This post may include affiliate links. #1 NYC. Post 9/11, walking past the ruins of the World Trade Center and some middle-aged women tourists are chatting and laughing and posing with the ruins of the WTC behind them for a group shot. I worked there and was lucky not to be in the building when it happened. I was just so infuriated that I yelled out "it's not f**king Disney Land" and they lost their smiles.

She was on a raft with a family...mom, dad, teenage son and daughter. Friend points out a bighorn sheep up ahead, everyone starts freaking out.
Texan Mom: "So since there's game, do you ever see the Indians hunting out here?"
Friend: "Excuse me?"
Texan Mom: "Like, the Indians. They still live out here, right?"
Teenage Daughter: (realizes my friend is Native) "MOM"
Texan Mom: "What, I'm just asking!"

View more comments To find out more about what it's like to live in a place that many of us have on our fridge magnets, we spoke with Kacie Burns, American actor, dancer and singer who moved to live in Florence, Italy. Kacie is now sharing positivity, travel, cultural differences and the quirks of life abroad with her thousands of social media followers, so you should definitely check her out! When asked what it's like living in such a hot tourist destination like Florence, Kacie said that she lived in NYC for ten years, so she is used to living in a tourist destination. "There are definite pros-the scenery, the accessibility, the blending of cultures because there are so many people from all over the world that visit. However, at the same time, a big con is that it's almost always very crowded and busy," she said. #4 Canadian Rockies - Tourists who pull over on the side of the road to get close-up pictures of bear cubs.

View more comments However, living in Florence as a local differs from staying there as a tourist. Kacie thinks that it's because "it becomes your home-you pass the same beautiful buildings and streets every day, so it becomes easy to be desensitized to it all." On the other hand, "you also begin to build a community here when it's your home. You get to know the city and the people living in it like the back of your hand. You feel like you belong, which is an awesome feeling," Kacie said. It's hard not to idolize such a beautiful old city with so much culture like Florence, especially when you're a tourist. But according to Kacie, to a certain extent, everyone does that and she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that. "It truly is a beautiful place, and while-like everywhere-there are the not-so-great things about Florence, it's hard not to idolize or romanticize a city when everywhere you look looks like a fairytale book," Kacie concluded. #7 I find it super annoying when I see people parked on the side of the road trying to lure the Bears closer to their cars with food. Even worse when we pull up and warn them not to and their response is "chill out bro, it's only a bear" ........also, when people just decide to run up to baby deer and bother it, its mom is nearby and will go crazy. There's a reason why there are so many warning signs to not bother the wild creatures and to keep your distance. Oh and littering, take your damn food wrapper and put it in a trash can, a**hole.

"Which falls belongs to what country?" Asked by a large Texan (I could tell by the accent and the huge belt buckle).

I need to put 20 cents on my fare card. An entire troupe of boyscouts are at all of the machines trying to figure them out like it's some sort of complicated puzzle. They were spread out throughout the entire room so that there wasn't a single open machine. I almost killed children that day.
If you go to DC and are going to ride the metro and don't want to piss off locals:
If you have a big group, don't go during rush hour.
If you can't figure out the machines, just use one.
Stand on the goddamn right on the escalator.
Let people off before you get on.
Don't talk to me. voice_of_craisin Report Final score: 130points POST Jods Jods Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 10 months ago For the first time in a couple of years I visited the only bookshop in the town. Went back to one of the machines to pay for parking, but no slot for coins! That threw me. And that was the start of my meltdown. So flustered that I couldn’t remember my PIN for my debit card (I didn’t need it - I was contactless!). In the end I admitted defeat and cried. Thankfully there are still a few people round here who will offer to help you instead of laughing like a choking hyena. 26 26points reply View More Replies...

So, just to be nice, I offered to translate for her and solved her problem. She didn't say thank you and sat down for the ride.
When we arrived, we started walking up the hill from the bus station next to each other, and I asked "so, where are you from, and why are you visiting my tiny village?". She responded "I don't talk to strangers" and sped up.
I just laughed at her and replied, "What, are you a 7-year-old little girl? I just helped you on the bus back there, and now you're being rude to me?"
