People who live in touristic areas, what are the rudest behaviours you've seen among tourists?

In Prague late at night, it's not fun to come across a group of drunk tourists (usually Brits) seeking drugs. Locals also get drunk but they're not nearly as obnoxious.

Where I’m from, the tourists are usually nicer and more respectful than the locals.

Tourist catcalling local women on Rio.

So. Much. Fucking. Litter.
- This 1000 times.. This. People are so careless it's disgusting.

I live in Vancouver and we've had massive issues with people (both tourists and locals) feeding coyotes in our downtown park. It got bad enough that they had to euthanize a bunch of coyotes because they were habituated to humans and have even attacked some people. They're not puppers, they're wild animals that play an important role in the ecosystem. You do them literally no favours by feeding them. Also, even worse, feeding bears.

Walking into tulip fields and (accidentally) trampling them, even when there are signs, ropes and people telling you to stay out

It's not always tourists but stopping in unexpected places is a common irritation in NYC. Like, they're walking on the sidewalk and just stop, and mess up the flow of foot traffic. Maybe to look at their map or to gawk at something. It's extra annoying and a little dangerous when it's on the stairs
- This has gotten so bad in my city since covid times. I'm constantly having to go around people stopped in the middle of the walking path. Just yesterday I was walking and these two people exactly stopped where the sidewalk narrowed for a bus stop and were blocking 3/4 of the area to walk because of it. They literally could have stepped 2 steps over and been completely out of the way beside the bus stop shelter.
- So much this here in Bangkok as well, and in addition nobody has any clue which side to walk on.
  You are constantly approaching head-on with a pedestrian who doesn't know where to walk and weaving around wandering groups that wall 3-4 people wide.
- I visited New York for the first time with a friend of mine who has family there and knows the city well. We went to Grand Central and I was admiring the beautiful artwork on the ceiling and a guy passing by called me a "fucking idiot".
  I was surprised and turned to my friend to ask if he was talking to me, which they confirmed. I was actually really happy, I got the infamous NY harsh street talk! I've traveled all over the world and never was spoken to like that anywhere else. NY is truly very special.
- i learned to stay away from midtown or battery-park/statue-of-liberty or any other tourist traps between friday afternoon and monday morning as a result of this.
- Found the grumpy old lady ;)

Visitors who believe that because they paid a cruise company to bring them here that they are somehow special and deserve to be treated as such by all the locals.

On Vancouver Island they will shit literally anywhere. After summer ends, go camping literally anywhere and there is human shit
I have even seen it cooking on pavement outside of an outhouse at a roadside pullout
- Until I got to the specific shit I thought this was going to end with a punchline about Canada geese.

I live in Rome so you'd think I'd see more asshole tourists but surprisingly I've never seen anyone being outright awful! Maybe all the crazies just go to Venice lol. The ones that irk me the most though, as someone who takes public transit, is people with 0 train/bus manners, stop trying to get on while other people are getting off!! Step the fuck out of the way oh my god some of us are trying to get to work!!

I used to live across the street from a relatively popular tourist attraction and would occasionally get tourists standing in front of my windows and commenting on things in my apartment. Once my girlfriend and I were eating breakfast in front of an open window and someone tried talking to us about how expensive something was in our apartment. Besides that the only regular rudeness was groups acting like they own the sidewalk. Usually its large families but I do remember one time what looked like a Russian oligarch trophy wife surrounded by an entourage of stereotypical body guards that had people swearing at them because they were not letting anyone else use the sidewalk as they headed for the tourist attraction.

Sticking their cameras (phones) where they don't belong. Pointing fingers or openly gawking at you: look at the locals, they're so picturesqe (Me thinking: hey, I wasn't even born in this country)!

I would have to think things like shitting in public. There's signs like this in locations around the world.

Taking up sidewalks and roadways and just generally being fucking oblivious people are around them. Parking in front of people's driveways??? Littering, feeding seagulls, being oblivious fucking dipshits. Shore community here.

Going the wrong way down a one way bike lane, or blocking the box on a bike lane. Honestly, we have pretty great tourists, these are minor issues.

I live in a rural tourist area and the worst thing is ppl think they’re in the middle of no where and start fires, shoot fireworks, and try to get territorial for no reason. Littering is my main beef. But fires are a huge second. People just don’t know how to handle fire.

Americans.
- Chinese tho
  
  I live in Arnhem, the Netherlands. My city got its fame during WW2. We also have several WW2 commemoration events. So far i’ve always seen Chinese people with camera’s, taking pictures etc. While most americans ive met always seem to ignore or twist facts. One time i even met an american couple whom insisted we lied about everything, because america saved us. It’s not justifnorant, its downright frustrating and hurtful.

- Low effort comment is low effort
  
  I’ve seen so many rude americans, thats its easier to just say “americans” one wouldn’t know where to begin otherwise.
