Stupid Tourists
What'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!"

New York City Subway
I was a with a French girl (who was an absolute stunner) and we were sitting there across from what appeared to be a Hispanic family...father, mother and ONE BUTT-ASS ugly kid in a stroller(pram).
The French girl says, slightly loud to be heard by me over the noise of the train "Oh My God! Zat is ze ugliest baby I have ever seen!" but the train wasnt moving any longer...and it wasnt making any noise. I stared open mouth at the father...all I could do was doff my cap, shrug my shoulders and turn away.
Truth be told, that WAS the ugliest baby I had ever seen.
No apologies for length...the kid had to have SOMETHING going for him.
