    Almost all of the places I have lived have been tourism heavy.

    • French Quarter, New Orleans
    • Park City, Utah
    • Kissimmee, Florida (Disney)
    • Jackson Hole, Wyoming
    • Austin, Texas (not at first, but definitely the later years)
    • Destin, Florida

    There is one recurring theme. People on vacation are stressed the fuck out, desperate to enjoy their very limited and probably very expensive time off, and impatient. This makes many of them rude and entitled. Many people forget to brimg their common sense and their manners when they go om vacation. They also have a propensity to binge on everything including food, entertainment, and especially booze and/or drugs. Locals are under no obligation to take your shit just because you are blowing $10k on a week or weekend vacation (of which you only get two of per year) with the family, and you are having an existential crisis that you hope your expensive vacation might remedy. Some of us are just trying to get a coffee on the way to our daily grind and you have decided to let your kids sample every flavor of ice cream in the shop before only buying a single scoop. If you see people waiting, be nice and offer to let someone else get their order in while your kids make up their minds. It is common courtesy.
