Boorish Tourists

In many areas tourism is touted constantly as a real boon. A real boon to whom I might ask? Perhaps for the small percentage of people who capitalize on the out-of-towners that swarm to that area, it is a boon. To the rest of us, these tourists are nothing more than pests who are infesting our living space, and who we locals look forward to be rid of. This may be especially true of areas where tourism is very much a seasonal thing. Understandably, if you move next door to Disneyland, you may never get a rest as that type of place is a year round "destination" for millions.

Personally, I am just tired of the moronic tourists who for some reason come here and can't seem to understand that driving 20 miles below the speed limit on the interstate during morning rush hour reading a map, or holding up the toll booth line for 10 minutes to ask the toll booth driver for directions is rude. This is why the locals hate you guys and throw a large block party when you idiots leave for the season to go bother some other area.
