I don’t understand kids today.

Confused old person face. What is this even about?

I've found that the "ugly American" stereotype isn't really true in most places. Probably in places like London and Paris that see a lot of American tourists who would never go anywhere else. But usually the sorts of Americans you meet in places as far away as Malaysia are so accustomed to the Ugly American stereotype…

More often then I’d care to admit...

Meh. I’ve been naked and stupid in snow...

When it’s cold, getting naked and stupid in the outdoors is like a challenge to the Celsius god. When it’s 0°, it’s time to get out the flip flops and shorts because that’s positively balmy.

I work in a place of tourism that sees about 3 million people a year, from all over the world.

Our stupidity often involves nudity...

Are you saying that Canadians are incapable of stupidity? I beg to differ. I know Canadians. I’m married to one. I may even be one. When we do stupid, we go all in.

A group of people with zero respect for local culture, acting in an offensive and obscene (for the region) manner? I am stunned and thankful that, for once, Americans were not involved.

My aunt’s fiancé, Steve, picked up the cake the morning of the wedding and came back to the cabin we…

Exactly. No necks and hands is a super common rule among artists, and many of them do it for personal reasons (ie. regret, whatever) and for protecting the shop (it opens up a certain amount of liability if someone claims down the line they can’t get a job because of a tattoo you did).

I understand why this was an upsetting experience, but tattoo artists refuse jobs all the time for all sorts of reasons. Many have a no necks, no hands policy - it’s quite common. And, as you discovered, what’s off-limits to one artist is totally okay with another - you were able to get exactly what you wanted in the…

What is it with some American people and kids? Kids are part of the community. Parents are part of the community. But people get so pissed when parents for one reason or another with or without privilege end up bringing kids to a “designated non-kid” space (of which there are many more here than in any other country I…
