Tourists come in all shapes and sizes, and the reasons why they might end up breaking a rule or two (or several dozen) can differ just as much.

This can range from something as simple as a lack of awareness to an utter absence of respect. It’s one thing to miss a cultural norm or or get blindsided by an overinflated sense of anonymity, thinking rules don’t apply to you in another country. But it’s a whole different can of beans if they travel just to spend their time getting boozed out of their minds.

“What’s An Unwritten Rule In Your Country That Tourists Always Seem To Break?” (30 Answers) In England please respect the queue.

Jumping the queue will bring forth a seething rage and putrid hatred that spews forth tutting and a passive aggressive muttering rant that's loud enough for others, but not you, to hear

"Oh no you go ahead mate, I'll just stand back here with everyone else, good job I didn't have anything on at all...."

The queue is so deeply entrenched in the psyche of the nation that during the 2011 England riots that lasted a week, during which the social fabric broke down, looters could be seen to queue outside the shops they were robbing.

Please respect the queue!

Irmante primarily works with National Geographic Journeys and private clients, taking travelers to a variety of locations across the globe—in 40 countries, to be precise, including Mexico, Central America, Europe, and the Middle East. Irmante herself has visited over 100 countries at this point, but it’s not about the count—rather about the experience.

“What’s An Unwritten Rule In Your Country That Tourists Always Seem To Break?” (30 Answers) This one is highly specific, but here in the USA we have a monument called The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The changing of the guard always draws a crowd and you are supposed to remain silent. I've seen a few videos of people talking, laughing, etc. They tend to get yelled at. These are real guards. They carry weapons. They guard the Tomb 24/7/365 in any weather. Do not disrespect them or the Tomb. Stand silently, film, take pics, and that is all. Most of the videos I've seen of people being disrespectful were clearly Americans. Gods forbid these a******s go to another country and s**t all over other people's traditions.

“I’ve seen all sorts of travelers—the most outrageous ones are doing something right in front of the sign that actually says not to do it,” elaborated Irmante on what makes some tourists break rules.

“It depends on the person’s education and manners if they obey the rules, written or not. You can be wearing shorts in a place that it straight up means that you’re not from there. So you’re just giving yourself away. Yet, not following unwritten rules can be complicated sometimes, especially when you know no locals to advise you otherwise.

Trick_Few , Yellowstone National Park/flickr Report

The most common reasons for breaking rules, however, are failure to get to know the country’s rules and customs, and being flat out rude, as Irmante notes:

“Tourists either are so ignorant and fail to familiarize themselves with written or unwritten rules when heading to a certain destination or are just straight up rude not to comply with social norms.”

“They might feel that certain boundaries don’t exist to them and that way they cast a shadow of shame on all of the traveling community. Traveling with conscience, understanding, respect and an open mind is really the way to go.”

“How and why you go around the globe normally determines what sort of traveler you are. Traveling in groups with a guide or at least having a local guide can give such a great insight into not only how to behave in a certain culture but also gives a chance of a local insight that results in valuable local insight and amazing experiences,” added Irmante.

“Traveling responsibly and being aware helps to avoid making a total fool of yourself and shedding a bad reputation.

Irmante continued: “As a tour guide and tour leader, I introduce my groups and clients to the local traveling nuances. I make sure to empower my travelers and make them aware of the power they have to the local communities we visit.”

“Being a tourist is probably the worst that can happen when exploring the world. Being in an area allows you to connect your culture to someone else’s. Make a friend in the destination you’re headed to, get a hold of a travel guide covering all of the odd habits, rules, customs and traditions, and at least google how you should and should not behave.”

“Traveling and tourism is such a powerful tool of creation as well as destruction. As a traveler, you hold an immense responsibility to do it the right way. So educating yourself prior to the trip, connecting with locals or someone who can run you through the local rules will ensure seamless yet powerful coexistence and outcome of the travel world.”

There are sometimes warning signs, but what's frequently unwritten is the reason *why* you can't go onto the beach-- it's made of glacial-silt quicksand. It will suck you down and never let go, and then the tide comes in. And you know it's coming in, and you know you're going to drown, and there's nothing anyone can do for you, because you're inextricably stuck.

Coming to Canada and talking about how much we Canadian love Tim Hortons. We don't. They got bought out and bastardized by Burger King and now the food and coffee is terrible but there are thousands of locations everywhere, some even across the street from each other.

We do not like Tim's, it's been forced upon us.

I know a lot of people who would disagree. Personally, I think their coffee has always been mediocre at best. And yeah, the food used to be decent (for a meal from a coffee and donut shop). Not so much for the last 20+ years.
