Default Most obnoxious travelers? Not Americans.

Despite the stereotype, in a poll among various countries across the globe we finished 11th. The Chinese, Indians, and French were voted among the worst. With the Japanese first.

Well, since American tourists are now so rare because of the animosity to us overseas, perhaps the locals simply haven't experienced such.

I'd suggest retrieving the data on those hundred million tourists who, when asked of their nationality respond, "Me? I'm......, ummmmmm....., Canadian!.....eh."

I didn't know that Americans were known as obnoxious travelers. My first guess would have been the smelly people of the world like the Indians, or the French, like the poll indicates.

Not in comparison to Indians. There is no comparison. They don't bathe as regularly and most will admit it.

Well, I guess I might expect that from an electrician, but the people that I found stinking in France (and all the other European countries for that matter) were people in shirts and ties that just showed up to work for the day. They stink worse than I could after 3 days of hard labor and no shower. It seems to me that it's ok in Europe to show up to work in an office environment and smell like a bum's nut sack. I'm not saying there are no Americans that don't wear deodorant, or take showers, I'm saying those things seem abhorrent to many Europeans. Know what I mean?
