Oh dear. Every day I have to remind myself some people really are that dumb

NTA.

"I took language back in college". 🤣🤣🤣

That's one dense mötherfücker.. 'Hmm, everyone at the hotel has the same accent her in NZ. Ofcourse they're all Scottish, they just dont want to admit it'.

As a New Zealander of mostly Scots descent, I'm lost as to how the two accents could be confused. I think someone was taking the p**s. However, I don't agree with OP's response either.

American here. You were a lot nicer than I would’ve been. I’ve said way worse stuff to other Americans when they’re being a******s. He greatly insulted you. You tried to tell him he’s wrong and to stop. He persisted, so obviously has no clue about common courtesy and not trodding on people’s boundaries. You weren’t even the only person he did it to the entire time he was there—-as a guest, ffs. Yeah, you were nice. I would’ve verbally burned him to the ground.

NTA, he needs to learn the difference between a scottish accent and an NZ accent, also even if they were, don't use stereotypes with real life people.

Ok if you get obsessed with the idea that ONE person is Scottish, I get it but to think that EVERYBODY is, wth man 💀💀💀💀

Um, what? Kiwis don't sound anything like Scotts

I hate Americans like him who make the rest of us look so bad

You two seem like a great match: you sighing at the thought of servicing an American (likely over generalizing) and him, with his overconfidence. 😱🫣.

Absolutely NTA

Hey, people can only take so much arrogant ignorance before they snap back. NTA. In fact, you may have prevented the bellhop from tossing him out the window. Through it if it couldn't be opened.

As an American...very much NTA.

I'm an America and you are NTA.

I've not heard all that many NZ people speak but from my limited experience I've yet to be reminded of a Scottish accent!!!

I don't understand how our accents could be confused with Scottish?

Say what you want about Scottish accents, I'm pretty impressed about opening up the borders. The Tasman Sea is a *bit* wider than the Rio Grande.

Never mind "NTA" - We need a new category. "AITH?" "Am I the hero?"

No, if he could afford to tour your country he had money. In this country if you HAVE money you are probably an AH to begin with...

Nope. Moronic people that like are why the rest of us (Americans) get such a bad name. FYI - not ALL of us are quite so ignorant or rude.

no I would sy the dudes a dumbfuck for not believing anyone

NOOOOO

NTA.

As an American girl, I sincerely apologize for the boorish and moronic behavior of some of my fellow countrymen but rest assured, not all of us are like the fxcknut you encountered

Insulting is never Ok. You were rude and unpolite. The guest was a d**k, and an arsehole. But it is enough for you to feel pitty for his intelligence, and keep your manners in front of guests

Good for you!

YTA for not pouring sticky toffee pudding over his head

Sometimes you are the problem that's life....and statistics

*Sigh* Why do 'muricans believe themselves to be the entitled-know-it-all?

Noooooooooooooooo that dude was a stupid little f**k

nta in fact comedian

As an American, I am sure people from other countries have come across ahole Americans, I assure you, we are not all the same. However, I find this story to be bs for some reason.

I Don't Want To Be An American Idiot...

You've just described current American culture completely. Someone makes an outlandish statement that can be proven wrong scientifically but if you disagree with them then you're a fascist (or a commie loving socialist depending on which party you pissed off).

Usually the best response is just to laugh at them. In another room, if necessary.
