Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

« Go Back
Coming back from the Greenday Gig.A friend and I were walking back to his house which was a few estates away from the National bowl and we, inbetween hunting for bacon sandwiches, pointed a few lost concert goers back in the right direction for their meeting point. Most people wer very grateful of our help, apart from the obligatory American couple.
My mate asked them where they were heading to (The train station) and he pointed out that he knew the area as he was a local and very clearly (for his slightly drunken state) gave them good directions.
Their response? "We don't believe you..."
WTF?
My response? "Fine stay lost then."
We then had to persuade them again that we actually lived here for them to accept our directions. Morons. :)
