What do tourists do that annoy you?

Putting themselves in danger. By not familiarizing themselves with maps, and not understanding how large America is. The amount of tourists I’ve met that think they can have a little 1hr drive to the other side of the country is astonishingly high. When y’all get mad about someone wanting to bond over ancestral genetics. They aren’t saying they personally are fresh off the boat, they’re just saying that they are genetically also from that country. It’s a bid for connection with you. Calling us fake for caring about strangers wellbeings, or smiling at strangers. Though the cold shoulder/rude behavior does still exist here, most of us do genuinely care, and are smiling because we’re happy in that moment. When y’all claim that America has no culture. America has culture, and cultural norms will even vary state by state. When y’all are rude to staff, or anyone else in public facing jobs. I hate it when Americans do it too… They’re people and should be treated with basic human kindness and decency. Littering. This is especially irritating in certain states, and some locals might even hand you back your trash. There are trash cans in public, and even recycling bins in many areas now too. I hope you have a fun and safe trip here! California is an absolutely gorgeous state, with a lot of wonderful and kind people. If you can stop into a California Welcome Center to talk with staff and get a free map (you might lose cell service if you go out into nature), I highly recommend that you do!
