Cutting Student MetroCards: Vote Delayed
Ugh. Just get it over with already so we can go on with our lives realizing that this is not the end of the world. This is a followup to SUBWAYblogger’s recent post on this subject that became quite the source of debate. The vote to cut the program has been delayed. However, there are [...]
Read MoreWorst Tourists Award
Let’s just get right to it. Do the French tourists win this game? Is it even a contest? I think so.
In my book, the French tourists are the most obnoxious touristists in town. I can’t even think of another group that even comes close.
I say this as I stand near a group of French students who have essentially qtaken over the subway platform. Just their arrogant presence is enough to win them the crown for most obnoxious tourists.
Really, there’s no other group I can think of that comes close.
Asian tourists can be a little annoying, but overall, they are fine. Sure, when they travel in groups, the girls especially, the giddy volume level can get a little high. But it’s all very innocent.
Even southern tourists aren’t too bad. Annoying and a little slow, yes, but that can mostly be attributed to the inbreeding. So I don’t hold it against them.

what an ignorant post. have you ever traveled abroad? we ugly americans are the worst tourists throughout the rest of the world.
ReplyIgnorant? You’re the ignorant one. I wasn’t talking about Americans traveling abroad. I was talking about people here in New York.
I agree, Americans do have a bad rap abroad, and deservedly so. And yes, I’ve traveled abroad. I travel more in 6 months than you will your entire life, so feel free to get off your high horse when ever you feel like it.
And if “we ugly Americans” are so bad, don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
ReplyI honestly think British tourists are by far the worst in the world. American tourists can be annoying too, mostly because they come off as quite ignorant, but the Brits are downright rude and pushy.
Replygeez..its not the French at all..its the frickin TEXANS and others from that world…fanny packed, walking four wide, asking the front desk how to drive from 58th and 5th to their Broadway show…
I’ll take the French any day!
Reply**Anotha reason why SB is wise.
Ok, so i agree with sb in a sense. It does get annoying at times, but we(nyc’ers) just deal with lt.
ReplyEven when compared with Americans, the French still come off as the worst. I spent three years living in a heavily-touristed town in the UK, and there was nothing like the level of obnoxious around when a French school group was nearby. While the Americans may have been a little higher on the ignorance scale, at least they were curious, whereas the French…
And on the subways, I’m not sure that the French, or any foreigners, are worse than the home-grown teenagers right as school gets out.
ReplyI must chime in on this one. I would agree that Brits are the worst tourists in the world. I actually love French tourists, because their behavior allows you the perfect opportunity to give them a nasty look and feel grounded about it. In every other situation with the French, you’re walking on damn egg shells. Brits are just.. egh.. the worst. Their accent makes me puke. Their attitude makes me twitch. And their history makes me feel proud to be an American. Backstabbing bastards! lol. And, I don’t understand how British women can be attracted to British men with that vocabulary…
ReplyHaha, NY teenagers are pretty obnoxious! But I’m used to them, at least.
I do have to admit though that the only time I ever flipped anyone off in NY, it was a group of European teenagers (nationality undetermined). Maybe they were French, hehe? They were just being loud and obnoxious, OH, and chanting their futbol chants. Agh! ( I may have been drunk, too.) The look on the one boy’s face though when he saw me flipping them off was priceless!! LOL!!! Comic astonishment! Also I think he was kind of excited and pleased to be flipped off by an authentic angry New Yorker. Lol!
ReplySee, I’m a little late to contribue to this post…. But I must say…. I do agree with the comment that the French are the worst tourists. I must also add that I am from Upstate New York (Rochester) and I have to say I feel the way about NYC’ers that you say about French tourists. I have a sister that lives in NYC and i LOVE the girl, but visiting NYC is just cold torture. No one says hello, people will bump into you, no one says excuse me and no stranger will EVER start a small conversation with you. I’d rather blog with all of you than visit
ReplyLilsubwaybaby, just remember where the americans actually came from. youre technically derived from the english.
wave your fanny pack opinions somewhere else.
Replyjohnmarazanni, eh… ha.. lol. omg. You missed the boat… on history. No, I’m American and I’m sure not derived from the English! Our country’s origin is based on a foundation created by England, and its king. But to be clear, America was created because people didn’t want to be BRITISH, or have anything to do with their immoral behavior. So when they are here visiting our country, I find them annoying. And, that is where the country, America, came from. It is not where Americans come from. I think that most American’s actually have no blood lines whatsoever running back to England.
Fanny Pack?
ReplyOhh yeah, well how about the New Yorkers themselves… I know you had a long day, or its just ahead of you, I know the train took exceptionally long today, and I know that it stinks and is overcrowded… but jeeez crack a smile, don’t look like a cattle just jam packed there; tourists perhaps annoying at times but they are always jolly =P

Replyr favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an i
Replyi think each country has its specific for food and recipes. cultural customs are also with their own specifics. what you do here is great, thank you for good info.
ReplyI was just browsing occasionally and also got to learn to read this post. I must say that we’re inside hand of luck today otherwise getting this excellent post to read wouldn’t have been achievable personally, a minimum of. Really appreciate your articles.
ReplyOne thing is that if you find yourself searching for a education loan you may find that you will need a co-signer. There are many situations where this is true because you should find that you do not have a past credit history so the loan provider will require that you’ve got someone cosign the money for you. Great post.
ReplyOne more thing is that when you are evaluating a good on the web electronics retail outlet, look for web stores that are consistently updated, preserving up-to-date with the newest products, the best deals, in addition to helpful information on goods and services. This will make certain you are handling a shop which stays atop the competition and provide you what you ought to make intelligent, well-informed electronics acquisitions. Thanks for the important tips I’ve learned through your blog.
ReplyOne thing I want to say is that car insurance termination is a dreaded experience and if you’re doing the proper things as being a driver you will not get one. A lot of people do are sent the notice that they’ve been officially dumped by their particular insurance company and many have to scramble to get added insurance following a cancellation. Affordable auto insurance rates are generally hard to get following a cancellation. Understanding the main reasons concerning the auto insurance cancellation can help individuals prevent completely losing in one of the most essential privileges readily available. Thanks for the suggestions shared through your blog.
ReplyI have seen that clever real estate agents just about everywhere are starting to warm up to FSBO Advertising. They are recognizing that it’s not just placing a poster in the front area. It’s really with regards to building interactions with these dealers who one of these days will become buyers. So, while you give your time and efforts to aiding these suppliers go it alone – the “Law of Reciprocity” kicks in. Great blog post.
ReplyThanks for your article. What I want to say is that while looking for a good on-line electronics shop, look for a web-site with full information on key elements such as the security statement, basic safety details, payment guidelines, along with terms in addition to policies. Always take time to read the help in addition to FAQ segments to get a greater idea of how a shop works, what they can perform for you, and how you can make the most of the features.
ReplyI have realized that in digital camera models, specialized detectors help to focus automatically. The sensors involving some cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others employ a beam associated with infra-red (IR) light, specially in low light. Higher spec cameras occasionally use a blend of both systems and will often have Face Priority AF where the digicam can ‘See’ a face and concentrate only on that. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this web site.
ReplyThanks for the strategies you share through this website. In addition, a lot of young women who become pregnant will not even aim to get health insurance coverage because they worry they couldn’t qualify. Although a lot of states right now require insurers offer coverage despite the pre-existing conditions. Fees on all these guaranteed programs are usually larger, but when taking into consideration the high cost of medical treatment it may be a new safer way to go to protect a person’s financial potential.
ReplyI learned more something totally new on this losing weight issue. Just one issue is that good nutrition is extremely vital when dieting. A massive reduction in fast foods, sugary food, fried foods, sweet foods, beef, and whitened flour products may perhaps be necessary. Keeping wastes harmful bacteria, and poisons may prevent aims for shedding fat. While specific drugs briefly solve the problem, the unpleasant side effects usually are not worth it, and in addition they never present more than a non permanent solution. It is a known idea that 95% of dietary fads fail. Many thanks sharing your ideas on this site.
ReplyI know of the fact that now, more and more people are now being attracted to surveillance cameras and the issue of photography. However, to be a photographer, you will need to first devote so much time deciding the exact model of camera to buy in addition to moving via store to store just so you may buy the most inexpensive camera of the trademark you have decided to settle on. But it will not end now there. You also have to take into account whether you should purchase a digital video camera extended warranty. Thx for the good ideas I gathered from your blog site.
