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!"

Not strictly touristsHoliday in France, doing some late night volleyball on the beach with French friends.
Being Belgian and coming to France for years, me and my brother & cousins speak French fluently.
Other group of Frenchies arrive, we throw the ball around a bit, and no matter how many times we tell them, they refuse to believe French is not an alien language to us, and keep blabbering to us in a grotesque parody of English.
-"Mais on parle le français! On vous comprend!"
-"Yeeeez, Yeeeeeez, Izgoode! Izgoud! Yeeezz!"
Needless to say, we didn't take their invitation to meet up the next day.
