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!"

Outside the (clearly marked) Foggy Bottom-GWU metro stopAn English couple stopped me to inquire as to the whereabouts of the closest metro station.
I sent them off in the opposite direction and went merrily off to lunch. Having originally come from "Flor-ee-duh" I'm more than accustomed to dealing with annoying touristy types. Outside of the standard fat white midwesterners with too many kids and those damned mouse hats, the Japanese tourists who wear all-black and ask where the beaches are at are the worst.
I like how they always have nice cameras though.
