insanely obnoxious Americans traveling in Japan

[Anonymous]

Blow my mind idiot Amerians travel abroad and do zero research on basic etiquette when traveling to another country. Case in point, yesterday traveling in the train there were two insanely idiotic Americans talking extremely loud on the train to each other like they were on the metro in DC. Before they were on you could hear a pin drop. Two other sets of ugly Americans were at the hotel gym in downtown Tokyo screaming at each other like they were at local planet fitness (while lifting puny weights), then had the gall to leave plates and racked plates on barbells over the floor. Also, on of started a 40 minute phone conversation out loud while working out. And that ignored all of the signs in the gym prohibiting talking on the phone. How many social norms can a handful of Americans break in 2 days? So obnoxious. So crass.


Americans need to get it through their thick skulls that they're not special when traveling abroad and need to learn how to shut the hell up. No one wants to listen to to idiots. You're not in the US. Take a dose of humble pie and shut it.

You’re a real charmer yourself, huh?

Never claimed to be. But at least I know to STFU on trains in Japan and never talk on the phone for 40 minutes at obscene decibel levels in public. Learn some basic damn etiquette. Unlike the US where it is about ME and F everyone else, other countries have profound respect for everyone around them, and it is deeply revered. Idiot Americans piss all over that when traveling because low cost flights allow every zoo animal from America access abroad now.

Odd that OP criticizes others for a lack of class when a quick look in a mirror might reveal who all those ugly Americans really are. Interesting that OP is always "nearby" these cultural transgressions.

Or it may just be that this is incredibly obvious in a place like Japan, where everyone in the country is incredibly aware of everyone else when they are in public.

It's so annoying anywhere, even on a crowded (or empty) subway here.
I travelled to Tokyo last year, when Japanese were still wearing masks and it was embarrassing to see this same behavior along with not honoring rules that literally every Japanese or Japanese toddler was following (masks on, not talking).

This isn't going the way you expected is it angry one?

Those folks arent the only ones that “insane” and “obnoxious” fit, lol.

Sheesh, shaming all Americans?!?! I’ve seen lots of obnoxious people and guess what? They come from everywhere. It would be pretty low class to single out a race, ethnicity, country of origin, or religious background because a couple people are out of line and/or not behaving as I see fit. Life’s easier if you just ignore and move on. If I came and posted on a message board every time I was offended, DCUM would ban me.

Would love it if visitors to our country would also obey the rules, but alas, they don't.
