This pic is from a very funny SNL skit about mom jeans and should give you a good idea what they are: http://teenymanolo.com/wordpress/wp-.../mom_jeans.jpg

If you own these, I implore upon you to toss them.

Definitely in the top five of my biggest pet peeves. Especially when they take up the width of the sidewalk with their whole family. Or a family of four or five walk across State St. with their arms linked so everyone has to go around them.

When that happens, I always think how thankful I should be that i live in such a beautiful city.

Of course, that thought occurs after I think, ´get out of the middle of the f*ckin sidewalk, *sshole.´

Call me a City-Data forum poster apologist, but I would consider you a photographer, not a tourist.

I know, but I guess I do tourist-y things sometimes. To the average passer-by, I'd appear to be a tourist,no?

Do you wear a fanny pack along with an American flag t-shirt from Old Navy?

Then you might be a tourist.
