You always complain about other tourists, but it's time to confess.What were the times (you) were a bad tourist?
Personally, pretty usual stuff:I take things from hotels (that most people do), like towels and shit. If it's in the room or the hallway and there's no one, then i assume it's complementary.I also took like posters and other shit from places, as souvenirs.Also, i don't skip lines, except when i have a connexion flight, in which case i freak out and push people out my way. I'm not spending for another hotel night because i missed a flight. So, in those cases i'm a huge dick and get into fights.Also, if i wait more than 2 hours in an airport, i take off my shoes. Once, a group of Koreans complained that i had smelly feet because of it. To be fair they were probably right, because i was awake for probably more than 24 hours with no showers at that point.
>>2914357Traveling India and Nepal I threw rubbish out the bus window just like everyone else. One time I shat diarrhea on the roadside next to my luggage after getting off a sleeper bus, thankfully nobody passed by and snapped a picture. I also made two girls very unhappy by refusing their bold advances.

I had an autistic twitch and had to touch a tiny dog fresco in Pompeii, some worker just told me to not touch it, could have been worse, idk why I got that urge never happened before or since then
>>2914357my fuckups are pretty inconsequential. When I first arrived in Japan I ate at the restaurant, the bill was 498 yen so I put up a 500 yen note and 3 one cent coins to get back 5 yen in change, but the cashier looked at the coins like they were a bomb and she didn't want to handle them. A minute later after I left I realized they were the Taiwanese 1 cent coinsThen a couple days later I went to a different restaurant to have the lunch special. When they rang me up I bitched that the price wasnt the same as the special but later I learned that in Japan the tax is usually added after and that's normalThen I snaked a guy when I went to view a sharehouse in the suburbs of Fukuoka. I was acting interested in it and the guy spent like 40 minutes interviewing me and reviewing the rules, and I agreed to meet him on Monday and sign, but the moment the meeting ended I left to the bus terminal to take the overnight bus to Tokyo. On Sunday I told him the price he was asking was ridiculous and I can live in Harajuku (richest neighborhood) for that price, so I'm in Tokyo now. Did him like the Onitsuka Tigers did Phil Knight
>>2914384I touch thinks to, it's to prove that i'm finally here. And i take pics of me touching a temple wall or a castle or a mountain with my hand on a rock. Then i look at the photo, i look at my hand, "i was there".
It was pouring rain really hard when I was in Taipei, so I ran into a store for shelter. As luck would have it, they sell umbrellas. I can't read any Chinese whatsoever, so the only thing I can read on the sign is "100."So I ask the guy there, in English, if the umbrella costs $100 TWD. He said "yes," so I handed him a $100 coin, grabbed an umbrella, and ran back out.Here's what I did wrong:1) I never actually confirmed if that man was the shop owner or an employee. He could've been another customer for all I know.2) I forgot to factor in GST/VAT/whatever the Taiwanese equivalent is.3) I wasn't in a hurry, why the fuck did I run out?4) I just googled what Taiwanese currency looks like to refresh my memory, there is no such thing as a $100 coin. I'm either remembering something wrong, or I didn't pay enough. Maybe I gave him a $100 note, maybe I gave him two $50 coins. I don't remember, and I kinda feel like shit because it's equally possible that I gave him one $50 coin.
>>2914386>I wasted 40+ minutes of my own time to own someoneVery petty and malicious. A swift death would serve you well.
>>2914386>the tax is usually added after and that's normalI live in a country that also does this, and it still throws me for a loop.My thought process is basically>This is a different country, there's no way they would be as ass-backwards as mineThen I'm surprised when it is as ass-backwards as mine.

I got a taxi from the Bali airport at like 11:30pm. Me and the driver start chatting and he offers me a cigarette, I say thanks and start smoking. He and I are chatting away and I start to notice that my ash is about to fall, but since the driver smokes he must have an ashtray or something in the car. I look around and see this little brass dish sitting on top of the dashboard. Sweet, found the ashtray. I put the cig over it and knock the ash off and immediately the taxi driver goes silent and I see every muscle in his body clench up. I lean a little forwards to look into the ashtray and see that it isn't an ashtray and I had just ashed a cigarette into his hindu offering bowl. The night degraded from there.
>>2914395>2) I forgot to factor in GST/VAT/whatever the Taiwanese equivalent is.In Taiwan that's always included in the price. You never see what the tax is as a separate item. Standard VAT there is 5%, and oddly enough if you go shopping for computer parts there you'll find that the posted prices on brand-name components are always about 5% more than you can buy them for in the U.S.
>>2914506That is pretty funny
