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.0 -
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.0 -
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?
In the past... nowhere... now, a ton of places... check out Park Slope... Fort Greene... Smith Street in Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens... Red Hook... just to name a few0 -
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.....0 -

Visiting Manhattan makes you a tourist. Better hotels and restaurants on the outer boros.
Wow. I'm gonna need some suggestions then, because I think the W is pretty dang nice!0 -
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.0

LOL - we even have the original brick road from the 1800s and only stop signs - no need for traffic lights.0 -
You ask me how I can live here and not go to the beach every day.
YES. This.0 -
You ate a cheesesteak on 2nd street and thought it was good
You think Independence Hall & Independence Mall are 2 different things
You expected the Liberty Bell to be bigger0 -

You pronounce Portillo's as Por-tee-ohs.
You eat at Portillo's because you want an authentic Chicago hot dog.
You have to ask what a pizza puff is.
You think you can get shot at any time. Oh wait...forget that one.0 -
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.
OMG so true for Virginia Beach too. We have NAS Oceana and jets scream by all the time. I call SC home, but lived here long enough to not even flinch when they pass by. In fact, my 9yo fell asleep while the Blue Angels were performing at an air show. Yes, he was born here lol1 -
We are generally the true sense of a fly over state, but for those that stop in for longer than five minutes we know "yall aint from around here."
You don't know who Gary England is and why he was/is important to us.
You can't understand why we don't freak out over storm clouds or all those major storm centers "predictions" until we see Gary get serious.
Storms and tourist reactions to them have two camps. Group number 1 tourists stop in the path of an oncoming tornado to take pics because they don't know the general direction tornados move. Group number 2 lose their minds and panic at the first sign of gray clouds.
You ask where are all the Indians?
You wonder why all of our native americans aren't wearing their native garb.
You think it's weird we wear the cowboy boots, spurs, and cowboy hats.
You believe our use of slang and drawl is indicative of our dim wits. (I'm not going to lie we do have some dim wits out there though.)
You repeatedly ask how do we tolerate this...wind, heat, cold, and bugs. We hear mostly about the wind and bugs.
You stubbornly wear that Sonics gear as a show of rebellion and solidarity even though it's been years now. Get over it already. (On a side note love Washington it's a gorgeous state.)
No, we do not have any wild buffalo anymore, but yes we do have a preserve and a refuge with buffalo roaming there.
You can't understand why we stare at tourists and find it disconcerting. Truth is you are entertainment for us, not many come through especially from out of country and we are bored

- You walk down Spring Garden Road and are impressed.
- You speak French or Newfie or something else other than English.
- You wander the Public Gardens with your camera glued to your face (and ask the nurses on their lunch breaks to take your picture. Btw? No. Just no).
- You give money to the "homeless" guy on Spring Garden Road.
- You go on the Harbour Hopper and believe the tour guide that we have "one of the largest naval fleets in Canada" and take pictures of the ships. (No, it's THE largest... of two).
- You buy tartan things...0 -
When it's winter time here and the natives are wearing jackets, you are wearing shorts.... 65 is cold people!
When it's 52 degrees here and you're wearing pants, down jacket and a hat.
That's shorts and a hoodie weather.0 -

You take the Heathrow Express.
You try to swipe your paper ticket on the Oyster readers.
You press the buttons to open the tube doors.
You take the tube from Leicester Square to Covent Garden.
You barge onto the train before letting the people off then tell everyone that Londoners are rude.0 -
When I lived in Brussels - you approach people in the city centre in gaggles ask where the nearst McDonalds is. Whilst being no more than 100 metres away from a fantastic restaurant or bar at any one time.0

I used to live by a small airport when I was a kid, so I'm used to it.
What really freaks newbs out is when the base starts testing their alarm systems. :laugh:0
