    When it's winter time here and the natives are wearing jackets, you are wearing shorts.... 65 is cold people!

    You pronounce the L's in tortilla

    You think Taco Bell is real Mexican Food

    You are out of here before summer starts

    You are over 65 and from Canada........ Darn snow birds

    You drive so slow!!

    You can't pronounce any of the city names other than Phoenix

    You wear jeans and a sweat shirt when it's over 60 and we're in shorts and T-Shirts.

    New York State is pretty big-it's going to take you a long time to drive to NYC.

    You've never had Canadian beer .

    You ask for the best place to get Buffalo Wings (they're just Wings).

    - You think everyone acts just like the jersey shore cast
    - You ask if I know Snooki
    - You pronounce it "joisey" trying to be funny or maybe trying to fit in, who knows?
    - You don't know anything about the greatness of Taylor ham, egg & cheese (Or whatever "pork roll" for you south weirdos)
    - You're under the impression that the whole state smells like a grandma fart passing through an onion. Whatever bro..you're only like 15% right.
    - The phrase "mischief night" means nothing to you


    Though I don't know why anyone would come to NJ for tourism, there ya go.

    Just adding on to this:

    - You get out of your car trying to pump your own gas
    - You think the Meadowlands is really in NY
    - You also think the best pizza is in NY (lol)
    - You've no idea that South Jersey really is a separate state

    Agreed 100%! And they do it like they think they're being cute, too. Definitely some nefarious behavior there...

    When you see a fighter jet flying low, you point and scream "What's happening to it?!" It's landing. That's what happens when you're next to an air force base.

    Also, you ask "Do they always fly this low?" No, they're only doing that because you're in town.

    You complain that there's really nothing to do in Dayton. We know.

    You point out that there are a lot of people from other countries in the area and ask them if they speak English

    You pronounce Houston Street wrong.

    You stay in a Manhattan hotel.

    You eat in Manhattan.

    That's all I got right now.

    Wait. You're a tourist if, while visiting Manhatten, you EAT IN MANHATTEN? That's harsh, man. What, am I suppose to go to Brooklyn to eat?

    Visiting Manhattan makes you a tourist. Better hotels and restaurants on the outer boros. :)

    You ask for directions to Paradise; when I tell you to go through Intercourse you giggle

    Am I Amish? Do I farkin' look Amish?

    Where can you get an Amish meal?

    When I recommend you eat road apples for their nutritional value you ask if they have them at those cute roadside stands?

    When I tell you Bird-In-Hand is on the other side of Intercourse again you giggle

    When you say LAN-caster.

    You order cappuccino after an heavy dinner

    I'm not sure why this one makes someone a tourist. My husband always orders a cappuccino after dinner when we are out regardless of where it is.
    You choose to eat at Hard Rock Cafe! Or Planet Hollywood!

    While I agree with this one to an extent my husband and I go to Cancun all the time and we will go to the Hard Rock because they have live music and yeah, sometimes we'll eat there too. (FWIW: I don't consider myself a tourist there since I have been there a billion times, plan to live there some day soon or at least spend the majority of my time there and I don't do the touristy crap).

    And I like being a tourist. Cities make a lot of money off tourists.

    You call it the Willis Tower.


    Please...go away.

    I have no idea what this is. Sears Tower, or GTFO. I don't care how big a check was written.....

    We don't get tourists in this tiny town. If we did - hopefully they know someone here, because the nearest hotel is about 35 minutes away, there is not a store; the family owned restaurants all close by 2 p.m. in the afternoon; and we have a single gas station that closes at 11 p.m.

    Also you are a tourist if you spell Manhattan with an "e". :laugh:
