I just can't stand tourists. They're so annoying. I live in Staten Island and head to Manhattan every single day because I have two jobs in Manhattan and I'm going to college in Manhattan. I see these people all the time and they get me so mad.

The other day I was walking up Whitehall Street trying to get to work and I was in such a rush because I woke up late, the ferry was late and omg I was just all over the place. So I'm walking up Whitehall and this woman with a Russian or Middle Eastern accent in her 50's literally stops in front of me and I almost slam into her. I had a coffee in my hand and she says "WHERE YOU GET COFFEE?" First of all *****, back the **** up. I'm late for work and my rent is due and my boss hates me and is looking for any reason to fire me. I just shoved her out of my way and kept walking.

I just don't understand who the woman thinks she is to get in my face and yell at me like that. Who are you? Are you like the president? No. So get out of my face. If I was in another country and I saw someone who was obviously in a rush I wouldn't just jump in front of them and yell at them like that.

Also, it's coffee. You can get coffee anywhere. Who doesn't know that?

I just hate tourists. I have to deal with them every single day on the ferry taking pictures of the statue of liberty, taking pictures of Manhattan, taking up room on the ferry, taking up room in the terminal. It's so annoying.

This doesn't mention all the other annoying things tourists do. Like stopping in the middle of the sidewalk, or walking slow and looking at their maps, asking dumb questions, pointing their cameras everywhere, the way they will hover over you to look at the map on the subway, the way they take forever to use the metrocard machines and so much other stuff. I just can't stand it.

Go back to california or florida or south dakota or wherever you're from. We don't want you here.
You were just having a bad day. Tourists are not all good but not all bad neither. Plus, who knows? Maybe you'll meet a nice Russian while he was visiting NYC and he asked you where he could find a coffee .

That is just a typical New York reaction... I think you should really reconsider moving here. I don't think
you will fit in.

Are you a troll or just a deadbeat staten islander? Where's your Juicy tracksuit, hoop earrings, and long overly done nails? And of course don't you forget that 5 lbs of makeup and coverup! You are the reason NYers get such a bad name! Go watch another rerun of Jersey Shore
