Tourists tend to suck everywhere so there's kind of no point calling out anyone for being tourists. Its a given.
I don't travel too often but I have been traveling more so I want to ask this straight up: What makes an American tourist good? I try my best to be polite, mind my manners and shit.
oh no. It was the worst.
List of topics, American dude was trying to impress German girl with:
- his stance on Obama's healthcare policies
- that whole he doesn't like Trump's "sometimes lies" that he likes some of his polices, and he's a
Policy guy
- that our healthcare is the greatest in the world and others wish they were us
- that Americans have moral authority to tell others what to do.
... that is where I got off and turned to the woman and said "he is the worst example of an American... run."
also? Hiroshima... you are an amazing town.
thread premised on shitting on americans, what a novel idea at this place. not sure why these low effort threads like this aren't closed.
You are the asshole in this storyoh no. It was the worst.

Loudly recite the pledge of allegianceWhat do I do if some American comes up to me out of blue whilst I'm on holiday and starts to tear in to me?
Because we wouldn't be able to shit on OP in return! We couldn't have thread-backfires like this if we just shut 'em down right away! ;Pthread premised on shitting on americans, what a novel idea at this place. not sure why these low effort threads like this aren't closed.

Eh, helping a woman out of a Tinder date with a Trump guy isn't the worst thing someone can do,but it's not something a bystander is able to manage easily. Best option is usually the check-in phone call that gives her an excuse to leave like "oh no that's my roommate and she's just said the dog is sick all over the floor", and obviously that's not something a stranger is capable of doing.
Still fuck that guy. I hate him already. Probably went to Japan to get himself A Woman whom he will impress with his mastery of Reason and Logic
For sure, the guy that OP describes sounds trashy but it's also trashy as a bystander to butt in on their date with my opinions.Even if OP was out of line the idea that the dude in his anecdote is anything but trash is impossible for me to fathom.
This is a weird thread.
This for sure, again from a tourist industry point of view. We actually fight over who gets the Americans when an American client shows up or is booked.

I would just think to myself "what a piece of work" and mind my own business because I figure a grown woman has been on enough shitty dates that she can get out of one on her own if she wants to. It would be presumptuous to think she needs me to swoop in and save her.
Imagine being so pretentious you try to ruin a complete stranger's relationship because you were eavesdropping and found him to have opposing political views.The most concerning part of all this is I really can't tell if OP is trolling or not.Even if OP was out of line the idea that the dude in his anecdote is anything but trash is impossible for me to fathom.

Same as any tourist. Be polite, be respectful of differences in cultures. There's really not much to it. Just be the example you'd like others to be I guess and you'll not have any encounters that will leave you questioning if you offended anyone .
Yup, she sure needed a man she didn't know to tell her what she should do next.
In Japan, easy to spot the Americans - especially the American travelers.
At plenty of bars during my 2 weeks here and have Run into a few shitty Americans. Was more than happy to call them out for being shitty Americans - one who complained about service, which was far more than adequate, and another who was obviously on a Tinder date, but was exhibiting the worst of us.
yo, call your fellow country men out when they are shitty - they deserve no quarter and do everyone after them a disservice. Wherever they travel.

Wait, you broke in on a conversation?oh no. It was the worst.
