Few things are more aggravating than people not respecting things that ought to be respected, like mother nature, sites of great significance, or stop signs, for that matter. And unfortunately, many of them are often disrespected by entitled tourists, who tend to feel like the world is their playground.
If you haven’t encountered any of them yet, first and foremost, consider yourself lucky, and secondly, brace yourself for some vexing images. We have found pictures of some of the most entitled and ignorant tourists out there, and put them on this list, which could be considered a manual on what not to do when traveling. Scroll down to find them below, but do it at your own risk, as you might get quite annoyed before even reaching the end of the list.

#33 Day 1 Visiting Iceland And I’m Shocked At The Disrespect I Saw From Tourists
Every landscape has been incredible, but I don’t know how we kept running into very disrespectful tourists. First, we ran into a lady who kept going over the ropes and stepping on the grass that was clearly marked off-limits to take pictures of… dandelions?! Do you not have dandelions back home? Another was just urinating in a parking lot; there were bathrooms available about 200 feet away. But the most disturbing of all was this one, who just decided to jump the ropes to get a better shot at a GEYSER THAT IS BOILING. I was recording to try and get a picture of when it erupted, and I saw this guy walking across. What’s going on with the world?

They had a picnic in front of a geological outcropping, refused to move for geology students trying to survey the region, let their kid deface the cliff, swam on a red flag beach (where swimming is banned), and left their food wrappers and plastic plates on the beach.

#65 Tourists Posing Beyond Boundaries
When I shifted my eyes down from the bamboo canopy, I was greeted with this sight. All this was captured at the fringes of the Nonomiya shrine. There’s a very good reason why a simple barricade fenced the path from the forest. I don’t think trampling through the forest and bending over a bamboo cane just for a snapshot is a considerate thing to indulge in.
