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!"

Seriously, does anyone still read an answer that starts with the line "This happened to my friend, honest"? I mean I don't neccessarily mind posts that say "A famous incident" or "I once read about this bloke", but ones that start "this happened to me/my friend/my mother/my girlfriend" and then rehash some obvious urban myth are just plain annoying.

Anyway, my story is crap, but what the hell, no-one else has posted it!
I was in Malta and walked past some middle-aged Brits of the "can't-stand-dirty-foreigners-I-only-come-here-for-the-sun variety". As I walked past I heard one woman comment "No, we can't go there tonight; it'll be full of locals".
Takes a "special" kind of person to be xenophobic while in a foreign country. Makes ya proud, doesn't it?
