In Winter.....You wear jeans and cotton socks under your ski pants, which are all tucked into your ski or snowboard boots, which are not laced correctly. You have a Go-Pro on your helmet and like, 10 or 12 lift tickets flapping from your zipper. You talk on your cell phone during the chair lift ride.
In the Fall....You are driving erratically and pulling over at inconvenient spots to take pictures of the "foliage". You are wearing brand new Ben & Jerry's hoodies. Your kids have dried chocolate on their faces and furry teddy bear-shaped pins on their shirts. Your SUV does not have a speck of dirt on it.0 -
Your car is parked on the side of the highway while you get out of your car to take pictures of the momma bear and her babies (she will eat you)
You wonder where our igloos are
You are waiting for me to say "eh"
You are amazed at how long it takes to drive from one town to the next
You think that moose hang out in big groups0 -
God, tourism and people trying new things/exploring new places/and learning new cultures is so awful.

You are shopping for cleaning supplies and bug bombs
You are crowding the streets and making traffic horrible!
(oh wait, sorry these are all for "snowbirds")
Ok- Tourists
the look on your faces everytime you get out of a car, walk out of a restuarant or anywhere air conditioned
(especially in the summer) like you think the temp is gonna change - even at night
You are red- usually all over from a day shopping, or just being outside for a short time
You are outside during the day- inside at night - again during summer
You are not wearing a jacket or sweater in the winter when it is a chilly 75 degrees outside
The obvious struggle you have taking a breath when you first get here and open the door in the summer- from the heat
The lack of tan on your skin
You are wearing shorts and sleeveless clothes in the winter0 -
You ask me the best place to watch the sunset
You drive so slow in the thunderstorm
You start frantically packing up your things at the beach when the afternoon thunderstorm begins (just wait 10 minutes)
You put your hazard lights on in the thunderstorm WHILE you are still driving
You get annoyed when you realize you can't drive onto all beach approaches
You are sun burnt in the summer
65 is not cold to you
You want to know where to get the best seafood and are frustrated when I recommend sushi
I love tourists though. But it is fun to spot them!0 -
You take up the width of the sidewalk, looking up, walking slowly, randomly stopping then starting again blocking other peoples way while they try to walk around you.
You're a jerk... (see link)

I was at a resort and heard a group of tourists complaining about the resort and stating that they would not return due to there being too many Arabs staying there. Yeah. you're visiting an ARAB country and complaining that there are too many ARABS around? Yeah, what a fabulous way to learn a new culture.0 -

I hate this one >>>>> you ask me where to 'pahk your cah.'
you wander through fanueil hall without a clue as to what you're going to eat.
once you've decided on a lunch spot in fanueil hall, you attempt to get mad at me for cutting in front of you when it's clear you have no idea what you're ordering, and i'm on my lunch break.
you flip out because i went to the other side of the T entrance while you lined up for a block and a half down arlington, and then attempt to get pissy with me because i just want to get home (especially on the day of the marathon).
you think speed limits mean anything beyond a suggestion.
you say "WAHR-chest-er".
