The most annoying things about non-Americans...

[marshalt]

1. After revealing yourself as an American, they always feel the need to tell you what is wrong with America.

2. They give us shit for not eating enough fresh foods, but they turn around and drink that ultra-pasteurized "milk" bullshit that can sit on the shelf for 6 month with no refrigeration.

3. They give us shit for not visiting their countries, then complain when we do come over there but aren't 100% fluent in every dialect of their language and understand every single detail about their culture. They get pissed and call us tourists for visiting and taking pictures of their tourist attractions.

4. They assume that every American has direct influence over the government, entertainment industry, and media and expect you to do something about their complaints.

5. Related to #3. They really don't know shit about America aside from what they've seen in movies and TV shows.

6. The complain that we're too friendly. Yes, this is an actual complaint.

7. Americans are racist. Indeed we are. Racism is a huge problem in American. But at least we try to deal with it. Protip: If a European talks about racism in America, just say "Gypsies" and watch them shit themselves.

A few years ago, when I had an office in the city, I'd go stand by the Metro exit at lunch time. When the tourists would come up from the depths and get their maps out, I'd always give them wrong directions.

It may have been mean, but it amused me.

The French aren't that bad. The ones I met were very nice.

The British on the other hand...

My bluebird is a non-American and I'm annoyed he's an ocean away.

You've got to have some sympathy for people who come to Maine so they can have a vacation somewhere warmer than where they live.

A favourite trick for Londoners to play on American tourists trying to get from Chancery Lane to Parliament Sq: Take the Central line to Holborn. Then take the Piccadilly Line to Leicester Square. Then take the Northern Line to Embankment, then the District Line to Westminster. Which will certainly get you there.

Or you could walk out of the station and 100 yards down the road.

Why don't you migrate?

 

[gotsnowgotslush]

*looking for the Portcullis*

 

[marshalt]

How about the need for them to constantly correct pronunciation?

I'm in Spain and I need a ticket to Hendaya, France. Now, I don't know dick about Spanish, but I know that the "h" is silent at the beginning of a word. So I go up to the ticket dude and say, "I need a ticket to "En-day-a." It should be noted that above him was a sign that indicated he spoke Spanish, English, and German.

You should have seen the look on his face. You'd swear I just called his mother a whore or something. "EN-DIE-YA!" he growls at me. Wow, sorry dude. I mispronounced the name of a town I've never heard of before!

 

[DesEsseintes]

Yeah, they're so far away!

Hey, you left us!

 

[parodyluvr75]

It's like they did it on purpose!!

I know, bastards.

Why don't you migrate?

I will eventually, he has purloined my heart.

Yes, I've heard that one. We used to have fun at university with both American and Japanese tourists wandering around the colleges and asking plaintively, 'Which one of these is the University?' They were usually directed to the public conveniences by the Martyrs' Memorial...Oh, and selling pants to Japanese tourists, too. No kidding.

 

[Aquagal]

They drive all weird and crazy.

I remember going to stay with a mate of mine at Queen's coll. Cambridge. One of his friends was away for the weekend and gave me and the gf his room. I woke up in the morning and, stark bollock naked, opened the curtains in the full view of about 50 Japanese tourists strolling round the quad with cameras snapping everything in sight.

That's ok, they all have cameras with telephoto lenses

Well, if you flew west instead of south every year, you'd be there by now.
