It's not "a" tourist, it's "a milion" tourists they don't tolerate

    And the messes they leave. If they could pick up after themselves and not treat our service staff like shit, that'd be great.

    Edit: spelling

    I recently went to a very.. rich area that’s for sure a destination (there’s a boat tour around the lake to look at mansions, of which there are dozens. It’s really gross. I did not enjoy being there.)

    People looked at me funny when I picked up trash that wasn’t mine while walking.. but like there’s a trash can RIGHT THERE! Why wouldn’t I??

    But that’s just the vibe in touristy areas.. not my home, not my problem. And that’s gross.

    It really depends. Most people are incredibly friendly, give lots of local tips, are interested in where I'm from. People are genuinely excited and welcoming. But I've also been yelled at—"fucking tourist!"—for stopping on the street to reverse parallel park...an hour south of the border for the numberplate my car had 🤷

    I don't think it's much tha you meet people that hate tourists, just that you meet any other asshole that hatess the things that aren't them. So of course they hate tourists too. Good thing the majority of society aren't at all like that.
