When I was in China. One of the English teachers came into the canteen 1 minute before closing. They almost all were backed up and ready to go. But he started yelling in English (doesn't speak Chinese, they didn't speak English) that he wanted some breakfast. Pissed all the Chinese off. Most of them hate him now.

No, I'm fucking ashamed to be American

I have two for you:

In a restaurant in Paris with my girlfriend. It was a generally quiet and polite atmosphere. All was going well when this fat fucker in a Hawaiian shirt and jean shorts sits next to us and starts jabbering loudly on his cellphone, yeah...

Similar instance while I was in Japan. Was on a train and everyone kept to themselves and it was quiet, but still relatively crowded. And of course, a fellow countryman started random conversations with people around him saying shit like "hey do you speak ENGRISH?!" or some shit like that. I dunno, but its really embarrassing.

Fuck you america

I was at a Duane Reade in NYC, some big fat British fucker was flipping out that the cashier wouldn't take the guy's British Pounds. The guy didn't understand we he needed American currency to buy shit. His total was $10 and he kept yelling, saying his 5 GBP was equivalent.

Was on a bus in Laos and this 19yo Brit sitting next to me was fucking sloshed! This kid was maybe 5'2 110lbs- and started talking shit to this big dude in front of us wearing an AC/DC hat- (turns out AC/DC in the UK means you swing both ways- not an american saying- but funny) anyway this american w/ the hat was getting really angry, and there were these aussies sitting behind us. Turns out AC/DC is like the national band of Aus- so they were getting ready to pummel this little bitch. But right before they all jumped him, he whipped out this fucking 3' machette! Wheeling it around his head and screaming like a fucking moron! I almost got my freaking throat cut- finally the yank and the aussies subdued him and we left him on the side of the road in laos @ 8pm in some rinkidink village. probably caught the next bus 24hrs later, but who knows! Kid could have died out there.

I work at a restaurant in Baltimore, MD. There was some African tourist (from Rwanda or some shit) and he just didn't understand the reservation system.

I hate that shit too. I went to Mexico for nearly 2 months, studied Spanish for nearly a year before I left so I could speak the language. Everyone I talked to just spoke English to me. They didn't even care if I tried to make an effort to speak Spanish (which I was actually pretty good at). When I went to the store and tried to pay in cash, they'd always insist on counting out my cash for me, like I don't know their pesos work! After a week, I just did everything on a credit card.

Maybe people find it easier to respond in English than to dumb down their native tongue to the level that you can understand. And the "level that you can understand" is determined by their previous experiences with talking to foreigners, not you specifically.

I encountered this a lot in Japan. People who weren't used to talking to foreigners simply weren't able to speak stupid-foreigner-Japanese. They either spoke so fast in Japanese that I couldn't keep up or tried to speak english, which caused them to lock down completely.

I remember when the Iraq war was a huge deal in Europe I was pretty much treated like a 1950's nigger everywhere in Germany.

I'm not a loud, annoying red neck American or anything. I dressed to blend in but once they heard that American accent on my voice, restaurants would refuse me, people would pretend like they didn't speak english, vacant hotels would be instantly filled the moment I talked to the lady at the desk.

Shit like that, honestly it was like they were having a boy-cott on Americans or something. Very classy stuff. The turks were more fucking polite then the Germans.

Ironically the only Germans that would even give me the time of the day were young Germans, and only if they were drunk. They usually wanted to talk about rap music and shit.

Least the Asians I met were still polite.

Yay!

Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me so much... When I travel, I obsess over how annoying I might be as a tourist so I take every effort not to stand out, not to talk too loud (or at all if I'm in a museum), to show proper respect in sacred buildings, etc...

I think it's safe to say that if the stereotype of rude, annoying American tourists hadn't been drilled into my head, I'd probably not have this complex.

Ausfag here,

British tourists would have to be far, far worse than American tourists, even despite the whole 'inherent American naivety' thing...

Seriously, what with their language and cultural ignorance, ethnocentric attitude, general arrogance, soccer hooliganism, tendency for drunkeness, sex tourism etc etc. Oh and whenever you go to a hot climate they always fucking stink too...

Americans may have a trademark for being loud and somewhat naive, but at least they're mostly polite and nowhere near as bad as the Brits that's for certain...

This dipshit from Toronto I knew was utterly flabbergasted and offended that here in America we use imperial units and that nobody accepts Canadian loonies. He was a real short-sighted cocksucker. He had the gall to interrupt other people's conversations when somebody mentioned a quantity in feet, pounds, miles or what-have-you and he would actually try to calculate the precise (to a few digits past the decimal point) metric equivalent right then and there and interrupt the conversation with a smug quip along the lines of "Oh well EXCUSE ME SIR/MA'AM I think you mean 3.219 kilometers. ;)"
In retrospect I think he had some rain man-esque psychological fuck up. Nowadays we would call that Asperger's. That was some Ulililia shit.

This smelly Belgian guy he was friends with would talk about nothing but how dumb, cultureless, and unhealthy Americans are while in America every year to attend E3 while chain smoking in no-smoking areas in a hipster irony sort of way. On the way out he bragged about his petty vandalism and pissing in a bottle to smash it in a hotel hall somewhere. I don't think he actually did this, he was just pathetic enough to brag about doing it in a misguided attempt to come off as tough and cool.

On the Canadian guy: He sounds like he was 12 and craving attention by being smart (intelligent, not witty and clever).

Or rainman, whatever. Either way, When I run into people like that I just sort of stare at them, pausing for a few seconds after they've finished talking, giving them a sort of confused and bewildered look, and then sigh a very short sigh and go back to talking as though he hadn't said anything at all.

Pic sort of related in a poorly illustrated way.

As for the guy from Belgium, just ignore him. Or take the similarly bewildered moralist route. Ask him something like "but why would you leave a bottle of urine in the hotel? Didn't that feel weird pissing in a bottle? I mean surely it must have been more awkward for you to nurse a bottle of your own urine as you looked around for a place to leave it than it must have been for the cleaners to bag it and throw it away."

I enjoy a good prank, but the prank better be a work of art for you to go to any effort to execute it. Peeing in a bottle is far too much effort to qualify unless there's something more to it that doesn't make it look like he has nothing better to do than piss in bottles and hide them around the hotel.

A tale of the abrupt American attitude that irks the British and one hypocritical young Briton:


Lately the local council have paved over an old railway track to make a cycle path, and they failed to account for a huge fucking wall that blocks it after half a mile.

I was walking in that direction and I noted to an elderly Scots woman the futility of their endeavour. We enjoyed a mutual whine, as Europeans do, and went about our business.

I then encountered an elderly American fellow (golfing town, WASP nest) who said something like, "Jeez, what was the point of paving over this old path if there's a huge wall in the middle of the road?"

I, of course, was taken aback by..well, the fact that he was American (like Clint Eastwood or Puff Daddy D:), but I quickly recovered and gave my approval to his sentiments, adding a quip about the level of bureaucracy in our local government affairs for good measure.

Let me tell you: I fucking RAGED when this filthy yank imperialist swine DARED to criticise MY council after electing that FUCK Dubya Bush. I was seething with breast-inflating fury as I walked on, noting this "typical American arrogance" to the next acquaintance I met.

The moral of the story: though many American tourists are arrogant, loud, clueless pricks, Europeans are likewise guilty of being arrogant, defensive, prejudiced pricks.

Oh, also, when I was in Paris later on the same trip, I always tried to be very polite and kept excusing myself for not speaking a single word of French, but no matter how hard I tried, as soon as they heard any English language words coming from my mouth, their expression suddenly changed to that of someone who's smelling shit.

No, I sound like a typical American. I'm from Florida and I don't have a distinct accent.

This was just in 2003-2004, when everyone had their panties in a knot over the Iraq war and it turned into a hatred of Americans. It was very bad then, but later on it got much better.

I got more out of it in places that were college towns, Marburg, for example.

Once Germans are drunk they are disarmed though, I never had any assholes accost me or anything but fuck did they love to argue politics, and would ask a bunch of politically charged questions and shit.

I had the opposite. i work in a retail store, and there was some guy looking at stuff.

I live in a suburb of detroit, so I'm use to 3 accents. Black slang, arabic, and surburban white. That's it. It's not like anyone goes to Detroit for vacation, or for a job. This place sucks.

Anyway, i go up to this guy, and I ask him if he needs any help. He responds, with a British accent, "Please, sorry, Thank you."

and i was shocked by not only the accent, but the onslaught of polite terms that didn't make sense. He was so polite I shit myself.

also later that week, an Irish guy came in and ranted about being asked for Debit or Credit, in a funny, not rude way. Oh the Irish, they can say anything and it's funny.

Funny story incoming (well, funny to me)

I was in Paris at the Louvre and I was looking for the bathroom. I found myself down some stairs from the main floor and there were some people behind a desk, and so I asked "parle vous anglais?" - "Do you speak English?" - The ONLY phrase I had learned before coming to France. Dumb move, yes, but I had decided about 2 days prior to go to Paris and then England, so whatever.

The lady said no.
Fuck...
"Hablas Espanol?" she asked.
And a happy medium had been reached.

Moral of the story: Learn common languages. Even if you don't speak the language in the country you're in, it improves your odds of being able to find the restrooms before doing the "I'm gonna pee in 30 seconds whether it's on the floor or in a toilet" dance.

Where/when: Holocaust memorial in Berlin, this past summer.
The offenders: a bunch of Americans, probably in their 20s.

So im walking through it, and near me is this bunch of Americans, talking, laughing FUCKING LOUDLY, taking photos in stupid pout and peace sign photos. WTF? After a while I deliberately cross their path and give them an evil look, as if to say "shut up". As I walked on, what did I hear behind me? More laughs and mumbles of "turk", "muslim" and "yeah i hear theres lots of turks in yurup". I don't look remotely turkish, but of course they wouldnt know that as they probably hadnt seen a brown person before apart from their mexican housekeepers. After composing myself, i went back over to them and said "this isn't disneyland, show some respect." They momentarily shut up, them started giggling again.

I (German) was visiting Ireland with some friends last year. We met a nice American from NJ, who we quickly became friends with and travelled County Kerry with him. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever met while travelling abroad, and when we were about to leave, he said "You know what I'm most baffled about in Europe? Not a single person has yet pointed out the fact that I'm black, not even in a subtle way."

I mean, of course, he's black, so what? No big deal.
Lead me to think about how he must have been treated back home. Or maybe he was just surprised we're not all xenophobic idiots.

"Our Scandinavian rivalry is kind of hilarious. And pathetic as well.

Seen through the eyes of the world, Denmark, Sweden, and Norway are very much alike. We basically speak the same language, we have the same background, and we're fond of herring and melancholic movies. But still we fight like spoiled siblings. Most would argue that Sweden is the big brother, Denmark the troubled middle brother, and Norway the naughty Benjamin who looks up to the older siblings but excels more than they like.

There is a historical reason for this. Norway was Danish for over four hundred years and Swedish for about a hundred, so they feel they have to prove themselves all the time. This is also why the Norwegians are patriotic to the point of near-insanity. The Norwegians are the kind of people who will break down and cry when they hear their national anthem. And if you've ever been to Oslo May 17, you'll find that it's the scariest place on earth. On the Norwegian national day, Norway becomes a huge erection that extends itself into the Nordic Sea.

The Swedes, however, are way too introverted to feel as patriotic about their homeland. And the Danes are way too drunk."

My group was taking a few taxis to the train station in Xi'an, China. Traffic got a little heavy, and the driver of my cab and of the cab in front of us yelled something to each other, and then pulled up in front of a building a good half mile away from the train station, and acted like this was where they had been told to let us out. We kept trying to point further down the road to the train station, but they started unloading our bags from the taxi and kept pointing to the random building they dropped us off at. Basically, they didn't want to wait in traffic to get up to the train station and then have to wait to get back out.

We jokingly referred to it later as "The Xi'an Incident of 2007." (In reference to the Xi'an Incident of 1936.)

My husband and I were waiting for a Train in Rome, and we saw this woman walking around, looking at her ticket, looking around, generally looking very confused. she asked someone something and didn't get an answer, so the next person was this old man with a ton of luggage walking down the platform. She very politely said "scusi" or whatever in broken Italian, and he kept walking, i think she figured he didn't notive her so she tried again. then all of a sudden the man turned around and yelled as loud as he possibly could "GET AWAY FROM ME!!"

it was pretty hilarious, and a little scary, and for the rest of our trip my husband would yell "GET AWAY FROM ME!!" and then laugh his ass off for 5 minutes.

When I was in japan there were a bunch of guys at this store in akihabara who were pretty wasted. I think they were either german or belgium and there were these bunch of girls who were from korea or china - they had red/maroon passports & the guys were hitting on them. The girls looked like they were 14-20 & these guys were atleast over 40. Very disgusting to watch.

He was probably here because of the car industry. Maybe he got paid a shitload by one of the big companies to work out here, I don't know.

but hey, you are from Detroit too? Let's meet up and make out.

"salle de bain" if you wanna take a shower. Otherwise it's toilettes.

> "où sont les toilettes?"
You almost got it right
