Deface world heritage sites for souvenirs or Internet clout. For example, The Colosseum in Rome has graffiti carved into its walls by tourists, and Stone Henge is closed off to the public because people were chipping pieces off for souvenirs. Bedlamcitylimit / Reddit
Don’t carve your name on stuff!!! The number of people who need to carve their names onto historical buildings and statues is just crazy. You are ruining the place. And respect people’s property. Yeah, it’s a cute street with cute houses and charming gardens. But that does NOT give you the right to enter people’s private property. Frequent_Artichoke / Reddit
People carve their names in tree trunks and the leaves of living plants (like giant succulents). Was recently at Montjuic in Barcelona and all of the plants were completely defaced. Made me so sad. chupagatos4 / Reddit
Where I’m from in Ireland isn’t exactly a tourist destination but it’s got some pretty cool historical buildings, but I wish tourists would stop telling us that they’re more Irish than an Irish person. I understand you’re proud of your ancestry/heritage and all that but it’s very frustrating hearing someone from somewhere else telling you that they’re more Irish than you are and ever will be. emmamckenna01 / Reddit
