People standing in the middle of the sidewalk, blocking foot traffic.

Anyone speaking with those guys who sell tickets to the top of the Empire State Building outside.

Anyone taking a pedicab. Anyone taking a horse-drawn carriage.

Socks with sandals, red skin like a lobster, flipflops for hiking, topless women(god bless), calling the sea ''water'' as if it's a lake or something, buying bottled water instead of drinking it from the tap.

There is a phenomenon of Czech tourists dying by silly drowning or being stranded on mountains while wearing flipflops. When we hear anything related to tourists dying or in trouble, our first thoughts are ''ffs, Czechs, not again''

This is the Pike Place Market.

It is NOT Pike's Place. Pike is a street, not a person.

Also, I know you're a tourist if you say Seattle is boring but never leave downtown or the area around the Space Needle.

Seeing all the different licence plates on the road during winter season.....I'm so glad it's summer time soon and they will all go home. <3
But it will be hot as sin even at midnight. :(

Anyone talking about the Mall of America and sounding remotely excited about it. Literally no one around here goes to MoA if it can be avoided

I think the funniest tourism that I see in my area is when a huge bus pulls up to a worthless nowhere parking lot and a bunch of folk with cameras pour out and start taking pictures of burger king or a del taco or some shit like that. It's a regular sight around here.

I'm just thinking to myself, dudes, your destination is probably still another 30 minutes away but if you're this excited already I think you'll have a blast later haha welcome to the USA.

So I guess my answer is when I catch people taking pictures of burger king. Nobody here wants a picture of a burger king.

I'd say if you see someone walking downtown with one of these

full of these

it is a high probability they are tourists. The line for the downtown location is generally ridiculous.

Seattle: Anybody using an umbrella.

In Philadelphia, it's people who eat at Pat's or Geno's.
OK, so my wife is from the Philadelphia area and her brother always takes me to either Pat's or Geno's and they're terrible. I thought cops were supposed to know where to find good food. Maybe he secretly hates me.

My wife and I will be in the area in a few months. Where do we go to get a good cheesesteak?

Also, in Scottsdale...anyone who stops to take pictures and gawk at Ferrari's, Rolls Royce, and Lambos. Seeing them in Scottsdale is a common occurrence, you peasants! Get used to it!

Nah, but really, natives just don't give a shit about people's stupid displays of wealth, because anybody who comes here for status is clearly not from here.

Ha.

Although I always assume at least a quarter of people on the Mall live in Capitol Hill.

Whenever I'm in the mountains and people start bitching about the air being too thin, and whining that they need oxygen to live.

Fucking tourists.

I spent a week there and got a sense you were supposed to pronounce it with a definite S sound
Wearing L.L. Bean attire and ordering a lobster or speaking French and wearing Speedos.
So, French canadians in New England?
Anyone in the Duck boats or waiting in line at Mike's pastry.
Wherever I can get sfogliatelle is the best Italian bakery in Boston and at Mike's they only got lobster tails

I was gonna say in Colorado it is usually tourists getting drunk at breweries, but locals do it too haha. People asking about dispensaries is a good one. Definitely hiking and not knowing any hiking etiquette. Also, driving in the mountains. Please use caution. I know you just drove through the flatness of Kansas and eastern Colorado, but you have to change your driving when you're going up through the mountains.
