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!"

stupid brit touristbackpacking around North Africa when I was younger - in a dingy Egyptian hotel - when I went to use the toilet I noticed a pipe sticking up out of the pan , obviously it was loose plumbing, I thought - so I proceeded to bend it off before using it - only later in the holiday did I realise it was a combined bidet/toilet
NB. later on, had what should have been a beautiful moment to myself ruined in the top chamber of the great pyramid by the bickering * "across the atlantic" family sharing it with me
mindpiss moment of that week - being asked by the felucca driver if I had a "big banana" when there was just me and him left in his boat - a swifter exit from a boat there has never been
*Not Canada, the other place
