What should tourists never do where you live?

1. I'd recommend against kissing the Blarney Stone. It's at the top of a castle tower that you have to climb a million narrow stone steps to get to, then you have to hang upside down 100 feet above the ground with an employee holding you so that you don't fall to your death, just to kiss a rock that thousands upon thousands of strangers have also put their dirty mouths on. There's also the rumour that locals pee on the stone at night but I doubt there's any truth to that as it's fairly well guarded.

2. Expect flip flops to be acceptable hiking gear. They come straight from the beach with a dachshund on a leash in the heat of summer and no idea how long it can take to climb a mountain.

3. Climb all over the bloody gravestones at the church near the Abbey, Goth Weekend is a nightmare.

4. If you're in Washington, D.C., we natives kindly ask that you don't stand on the LEFT SIDE OF THE ESCALATORS AT THE DAMN METRO

6. Never assume you're in Kansas when you're in Kansas City. The places tourists go in KC are all on the Missouri side.

7. Get stoned, go to the red light district, vomit and piss in the streets.

8. Walk around talking about the IRA

9. Drive like a sane or normal person. Trust me, if you want to survive south Florida roads, you have to learn to drive like an inconsiderate dick. The patient and polite don't fair very well in this traffic.

10. A lot of people buy a cowboy hat and boots for their trip to Texas. Unless you're going to a podunk town that's just as wacky as similar sized towns in the rest of the country you're gonna look like a goober. It's not all Walker Texas Ranger here anymore folks.

11. Washington DC- "Memorials" are for remembering the dead, especially war memorials where some people come thousands of miles to pay respects and reflect. Splashing in the fountains, kids climbing on them, shouting... not cool.

12. Visit Times Square. A true shithole filled to the brim with people and overpriced garbage stores.

13. Visit Voodoo Donuts. Other than the instragram pic it’s a complete waste of time, the lines usually around the block AND they’re always stale and bland (their frosting is royal icing... I mean cmon).
