      ... You pose for a snapshot next to a parked limousine/luxury vehicle.
      ... You are boisterous.
      ... You greet everyone screaming.
      ... You make a spectacle of yourself.
      ... You assume you can drive into any gated community.
      ... You stop right in the middle of the foot traffic, to take a photo or to rummage through your bag.
      ... You make the statement, "I thought this is a 24hours city."
      ... You're overdressed or you're underdressed.
      ... You people-watch glassy-eyed.
      ... You assume that how you deliver your impression of the local dialect is correct. You fail to see it as an offence.
      ... You complain about how expensive everything is.
      ... You whine for all to hear.

      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.

      Because I'm italian
      Only tourists do that

      You went to Red Lobster in Times Square.

      You speak German, Japanese or French and your whole crew is dressed in expensive clothes.

      You are Japanese and buying things in bulk at Tanger Outlet.

      substitute "Joe's Crab Shack on Branson Landing" and all of this works perfectly for Branson, Missouri as well. Nice!

      You think that Beale St. is a good place to be after dark.

      You think that Rendezvous has good barbeque.

      Hey, I am a native and think Beale is the place to be after dark.

      And everyone knows Central BBQ is the best :)

      Well I agree with the second sentence! BBQ nachos, but with the homemade potato chips instead of tortilla chips. Oh yeah...

      - You burn yourself on the seatbelt

      - You get heat stroke from not drinking enough water

      - You are walking in a big mob of asians with cameras, fanny backs, big hats, and itinerary in your hand LOL

      You have a camera.

      You are at Busch Gardens.

      You have out of state plates.

      You have out of state health insurance.

      You are cold in the summer.
      You worry about getting damp the rest of the year.
      Your shoes/coats/hairstyle aren't water-resistant.
      You haven't attempting running as a hobby.
      You mispronounce the names of major roads, bodies of water, landmarks...and the name of the state...

      You attempt to order Pepsi at a restaurant... all we have in Atlanta is Coke, y'all!

      Or try to order soda period.

      I have lots of sisters. We go to some vegan/organic bar for my vegetarian sisters bday, sister #2 tries to order a sprite as the DD. Bartender: uh....this is an organic bar. We don't have soda."
      Sister 2:so what do you have?
      Bartender: tonic or sparkling water.

      Oh the look on sister 2s face. Classic.

      1. You travel in groups of 10 with a golf umbrella each.

      2. You take photos of...wait...what? There's nothing there to take a picture of?!

      3. You feed the goddamn seagulls

      4. You aren't surprised when it rains.

      5. You ask people who are clearly heading to work to take your photo at 8.45am

      6. You walk at approx 0.2 mph then stop suddenly, for no discernible reason. Oh. See item 2.

      7. You drink Coke to help your hangover, instead of Irn Bru.

      8. You enjoy the bagpipe playing in town

      9. You take the bus at rush hour and ignore all the signs of having correct change/maps etc and instead try to spend 10 minutes trying to discuss it all with the driver, rather than any of the people at the bus stop or the concierge at your hotel

      10. You believed me when I told you that haggis is an actual furry wee creature with one leg shorter than the other.

      You take up the sidewalks with your slow, ponderous meandering

      You ask if the country's flag comes in any other colours

      You ask what time we feed the whales and what they eat.

      You ask if that is Willy Wonka on our money [It's actually our first Prime Minister John A Macdonald]

      You don't know how to drive on the beltway around DC. ( then again a lot of folks here don't either)

      You go out for crabs and smack the crap out of the shells, getting everyone around you full of shells and old bay. Then throw out the crabs without picking all of the meat. At 75.00 a dozen.

      This is for my home state..

      You are using an umbrella
      You are NOT wearing a college shirt/sweater
      You don't know how to pronounce the river the flows north into the Columbia
      You seem shocked that Vancouver is so close.. NOT BC you moron

      For where I am now..
      You are driving the speed limit
      You are in a group of 3 or more
      You have a map
      You turn on your blinker

      It's "crab." Going out and getting crabs is a different kind of night.

      You think Hampton Beach is awesome.
      You buy a **** ton clothes that say "New Hampshire" in some way.
      Your car is full of clothes, booze, and high price items because NH doesn't have sales tax

      LOL Hampton Beach is disgusting, in my opinion! And I've noticed they are even selling New Hampshire "swag" in Walmart now!

      You mispronounce the city you're in.
      You deliberately stand at the narrowest part of the path to take pictures. Of everything.
      You don't understand that the bus driver does not give change and try to force a £10 note on him for two single fares.
      You think everything is quaint.
      You think everyone eats haggis and every restaurant serves it.

      You have no idea what I mean when I tell you to drive past the Big Chicken.

      You have a stupid yankee accent.
