No problem, you may have been a mite serious, but not necessarily wrong.;)

Meh. I think the Ugly American is alive and doing far better than he/she should be. And it's embarrassing.

I mean, I've lived here all my life, and I'm regularly disgusted by the pinheaded, asshole-ish loserhood of so many of my countrymen, both at home and when I'm travelling.

I can't say if the waitress in my story was commenting on tourists or locals - and it doesn't really matter; I took her remarks to apply to just about anyone from whatever country. (But, we Merkins can be pretty damned self-important and oblivious, let's face it.)

Bottom line? People just generally suck. So I try hard not to suck, whenever possible. :)


P.S. What's a "bog roll?"

toilet paper roll.

bog = toilet

most cloesley equivalent to john on the offensive scale -a little crude but not really a bad word.

bogroll ....well you don't hve an equivalent slang term. TP is the closest, but, please.....

Brit slang is all about the bathroom and the nookie. 'Merkin slang is all money and murder. Eskimo slang is all snow. You go with what you know....
