Yes. 100%. Every time I see a tourist in SF blocking traffic to take a picture from the top of a hill in the middle of the street, I want them to get hit by a bus.

    I think the problem is not necessarily being a tourist, but egregiously bad tourist behavior.

    I have family in, and we're moving to, a tourism hot spot. I honestly don't mind about 95% of the tourists. I even like a lot of them, since the fun ones are great to have around and you can learn about people's lives in so many different places.

    The relatively small fraction that acts like total shitheads is what really stands out to me.

    There's a strong correlation between how shitty a tourist is and how likely they are to make posts like OP's demanding that locals get with the program, remember their Disneyland training, and welcome them on their special holiday.
