    I’ve seen an usian tourist argue with a waiter because his carbonara was not the right carbonara: it didn’t have chicken and the chef refused to add ground beef to it.

    I’ve seen another one ask for pasta with ketchup and being asked to leave the restaurant as they didn’t even have ketchup and the chef refused to cook for them.

    In Italy, most visited cities have started to hate tourist on a singular basis: those coming from the US are, without rivals, the worst ever tourists that can visit the country.

    That’s not to generalize, I’ve known some US tourists that were wonderful people, and I’m even friends with some that I can’t wait to see again. But the general rule here is that if there’s a tourist being an asshole and letting everyone know about it, chances of them being usian are extremely high.

        No, this is not a rare thing to see. It happens quite often in touristic areas.

        Indeed, I wasn’t generalizing, not all usians are awful tourists, but most awful tourists are usians. Not my fault if your reading comprehension is not that good or if you are salty about something I said because you got offended. If that’s the case, tho, I don’t really care, looks like I hit a sensitive spot.
