“What’s An Unwritten Rule In Your Country That Tourists Always Seem To Break?” (30 Answers)

🤣

As my mammy pointed out, 'They never seem to ask how to catch a Banshee, or a Pooka'.

Say 'Come back to my place under the rainbow ' whilst gently rubbing your thighs ...... Only ever worked for me once in 50 years.

There must be some loophole for that pot o' gold

And stop drinking in Temple Bar in Dublin. Such a rip off! Walk 10 minutes and there are loads of nicer and cheaper bars

Those stupid selfies at places like Auschwitz boil my blood.

Bad example in the picture. The artist of the Berlin holocaust memorial Peter Eisenman said he wanted the place to be inherited and he didn't mind people interacting with it. Quote: "it is not a holy place"

Last October I visited Hiroshima and on the first day went to the Peace Memorial and was shocked and disgusted at the number of people taking grinning selfies. Every nationality it seemed, except for Japanese. They tended to be quiet and reserved and took pictures of that iconic building but not selfies, site_0775_...ae6b1a.jpg

And don't make damn jokes around them

Stupid people should stay home.

Don't approach strange animals, period. People have been killed by cows in Austria. They are not your pets.

And STAY ON THE DESIGNATED TRAILS IN YELLOWSTONE!!! Prismatic Human soup just doesn't sound good and there won't be anything left of you.

Please, please, please don't. If a human is injured by a wild animal, in Yellow Stone or elsewhere, the poor innocent animal could be euthanized. Through no fault of its own. It's no different than throwing something at a zoo animal. Don't do that either.

Australia and many other countries have small sneaky deadly animals. Canada has huge smelly deadly animals. They are all deadly.

Play stupid games and get a stupid prize!

Can I help? I'm not from or in NZ right now, but I would still like to help with this.

I've been to so many beaches in NZ and the amount of people who can't be arsed to take their rubbish home with them is ridiculous. It's not hard. We are NOT a clean green country. We have the same percentage of lazy people as everywhere else.

Just ask those tourists from the uk😂😂

Why are there even "no littering" signs? No littering is like a fundemental rule everyone should abide by.

Looks like a very written rule.

Respect the queue everywhere! Why is it so hard for some people?

I f you cut the line in the UK, you’ll get more “Tuts” than an Egyptian museum. (Although not as many as the British Museum, of course.)

My favourite queue is the 'invisible' queue. Such as that you get at a barbers. Where everyone is sitting waiting in completely random order, but everyone knows their (and everyone elses) place in the queue. It's a beautiful thing.

And in your car, too. I hate it when a*sholes drive all the way up when a lane ends, instead ,of merging in like everyone else.

cutting the Queue especially i long one will get an eye roll and tuts from a lot of people

Please.

I agree we do not want the us-tipping culture but just check, ask around what the culture is in the country you're in. In the Netherlands, abt 10% is still a good tip. Not everybody does it but it is still a very nice extra. A typical hourly wage might be abt 10 euro an hour nowadays and if you're in a good area (often involving tourists) people might get another 1-2 euro an hour in tips. I tend to tip about 10% but if the service is bad, I don't. Even though the tipping culture is very different in Spain, I tend to tip about the same. But I know various good and educated people that only tip a couple of symbolical cents in Spain. In South Korea, leaving a tip can be seen as an insult. So check your surroundings. I have even asked staff in a country that was new to me what the tipping culture in their country was. Being humble and open to suggestions of locals is always a good way to go...
