So, like I don't know what's so special where I live and attend college, Davis, California, but there's always so many tourists, and they like to take pictures. And alot of times, I'm in the pictures they are taking, and it's quite annoying and embarassing.

How yall feel about them, and taking pictures and you're in it?

It's an easy spot to mess up a photo, or make it hilarious.

I don't really notice tourists here, so it doesn't bother me.

OH, what does bother me are the f**king paisas who drive like they're still in TJ. Motha f**kas, gtfo.

There's tons of those Asian travel agencies around my town that have those buses that leave every damn day of the week to somewhere so I'm always seeing people around the streets with their cameras pulled out even though they're still at home. They're probably practicing how to be annoying tourists when they get to their destination. There aren't really any tourists that come here, specifically, but when I get a little bit farther like to Hollywood, it's ridiculous. D: I hate it when I'm not looking my best and some random person is taking snapshots in a crowded place and I get into their shot. It's not pleasing to them or me. -_-

We don't get many here. Honestly, who wants to come to WI? We mainly just get people from surrounding states and a small share of people from far away. The only thing that bothers me is if they come here and drive like idiots.

I don't mind tourists per se, but school groups bother me when they walk in a massive group and I can't get round them.

Although tourists tend not to give money when I'm out collecting.

Yeah I agree with you James. There's so many like school groups especially lame high school kids who wear baggy jeans, and regular high school clothes, that it's so annoying seeing them around. I mean I'm in college, and I'm so glad I left highschool, to get away from all that shit, and I have to still see them around?

tourists come to my state (colorado) mainly for aspen, vail, etc. for the mountains and the ski resorts. i also see some around my college town because it's really close to the mountains as well, so it's b-e-a-utiful :)
but they don't bother me at all..i suppose it's a lot more annoying in more popular cities.

oh, I don't mind the high school kids as much, they yell back when you swear at them, and that leads to banterous times...

I hate the younger ones who you can't really yell at because they're young and stupid.

We don't really get 'tourists' but snowbirds. Old people here for the winter. Everything they do is too slow (including driving). Thank god it is getting hot here. Time to go home.

Tourists can suck my Space Needle balls. All of the pretentious, starving writers come to Seattle to buy red skinny jeans and buggy-eyed sunglasses to disobey pedestrian crossing laws and drink coffee.

We don't exactly get tourists here in the middle of Arkansas, so I don't have that problem.

I guess it can be that way when you go to Eureka Springs or something, but typically I'm there to visit, too, so we're.. all tourists. :P

There aren't many tourists in my part of California, but there are the occasional ones here and there. When I do see one, we (me and my friends) point it out and make fun of their stereotypical tourist looks and acts, but hey, its the same way when I go out of the country so, it's all good. :]

I would go there just to say TEXARKANA a lot.

I might stop by and see you, too.

We're all tourists at one point, so I don't mind them at all. Adds to the economy and all that.

Other than prospective students, we don't get tourists. My school's just too far out in the boonies.

omg.gif Everytime I am in the city, the tourists act dumb. They literally stop and stare in the middle of the sidewalk at the dumbest things. I mean I am all for people coming to see the landmarks and what not, but seriously, gtfo out of the way when people are walking.

We don't really get many tourists in Washington, at least no obvious ones. Even the people who live IN Washington act like tourists whenever they go to Pike Place or something. I'm usually glad to help them or whatever.
