Is your dress vintage?

Attending one of these dress-up reserves where every employee has to dress in a certain themed outfit is a bit like Disneyland without the happiness of Mickey. The photo caption reads, “The museum is a living and breathing experience of what it was like to live and work in a Danish market town.” Riiiiight, that’s exactly what we were thinking…we just hope the two women change on their way home from work so they don’t creep even more people out.

Need a pillow?

Tourists are so damn creative when it comes to finding a place to rest their feet. We just hope this National Zoo visitor doesn’t fall asleep and end up slipping off this cuddly bear duo…actually, we would have loved to see that.

Love is gross

After almost a year of writing this blog, we all agree that matching tourists make us want to puke. Seriously, aren’t there enough clothes (and hats) to go around? Oh and his bought-at-the-local-fair murse doesn’t help either. Enjoy!

Finding a tourist camp

fannypackantics — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:23:22 +0000

We divert from our usual making fun of tourists to bring you this motel “tourist camp” postcard from the 1920s — a time when motels didn’t advertise their HBO and weren’t singularly used by cheating spouses. Instead they housed tourists (without fanny packs) who wanted all the wonderful amenities life had to offer. Ahh, we wish we were around to make fun of them.

If Jimi could walk, he’d run away

Ahh, the beauty of posing with freaky-looking bronze statues while wearing a feather boa — how we miss our early traveling days. But seriously, if Jimi Hendrix was alive and actually standing on the street in Seattle, we doubt he’d get down on his knees and say cheese…

Is your tourist outfit spotless?

There’s all that crap about not wearing white after Labor Day, but what about scrunching yourself down on the floor in order to get a shot of some obscure object while wearing your tightest white jeans in the middle of July? Couldn’t he just stand up like the other Last Vegas tourists?

Bare it all

Note to tourists: While traveling in Europe wearing skanky swimming thongs is more than appropriate. Because in the end it’s all about the tan line, right?

Looking super sporty in fuschia

In the words of our submitter Megan, “No one over the age of 10 should wear a matching t-shirt unless they are playing a sport, don’t you think?” Yes actually, we completely agree.

Segways continue invading D.C.

There’s a lot of segway drama going on in this pic. Perhaps, the guy who has his hand on his waist is disappointed with his mother not only because she made the entire fam take this dorky tour, but also because she actually matches her own segway and he’s even more embarassed…then again, we could be wrong.

Don’t forget your burger

Attention tourists: The nice people at Burger King don’t want you to eat too many fish n’ chips on your trip to Bath, England. And they want you to know that just because you’ve left America, it will never leave you… actually it will lurk right around the corner.
