Stupid TouristsWhat's the stupidest thing you've ever heard a tourist say? Ever heard an American talking about visiting "Scotchland, England", or (and this one is actually real) a Japanese couple talking about the correct way to say Clapham is actually Clatham, as "ph" sounds are pronounced "th". Which has a certain logic really. UPDATE: Please, no more Loogabarooga stories. It's getting like, "and I opened my eyes and my mum had left me a cup of tea!"

I'm sure I've mentioned it before,but while working in a tourist area in a gift shop I asked a woman for her ID when she presented an unsigned credit card as payment. She searched her person for a few minutes before saying "I've left my ID at the hotel." When I explain that I cannot take a credit card that's not signed without seeing an ID (as I wouldn't have anything to check the signature against) she gets agitated and says "I DON'T NEED MY ID, I'M ON HOLIDAY!"
