[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in SF and just this morning was on a streetcar going to work when a group of tourists got on.  They were all crowding around the front, trying to figure out how to pay, how to get change, blocking other people from getting on behind them, totally holding up the works.  Then one of them somehow didn't manage to get ON the streetcar before it left and she yelled at the driver.

They were so annoying.  I don't want people to feel about me the way I felt about them.  That's why I don't want to seem like a tourist.  [/quote]

This.  I figure that people can tell I'm a tourist, but I don't want to be one of Those Tourists.  I want to be respectful, and polite, and not gum up the works.  No, I'm not going to blend in, but I also don't need to stand out in any bad ways.  [/quote]

Yep exactly. Those tourists on the streetcar were taking up my commute time and I didn't want to be late to work.  Sometimes if I can tell a tourist is lost I will give them directions, or recommend a good restaurant to them. [/quote]
