Excellent list. I can certainly identify incidents of all of these. Sadly the bare chested male is quite popular in a lot of places and as disrespectful as flash cameras at sacred points or moments for many places.

As for the sunburn. Well I do try to protect myself with sun cream and even still I can burn too easily.

Not sure if you mind (please remove if you do) but this is the most comprehensive list of annoying traveller habits I came up with:- http://flightsandfrustration.com/how-to-use-annoying-habits/

In reply to Bret @ Green Global Travel. @Bret: How about we add all those to the list. I agree, there really are so many. People partially forget themselves on vacations and sometimes, they're just plain insensitive. I'm sure I might have added to someone else's list at some point.

Man, just thinking about all the annoying tourist habits makes my skin crawl. Excessive drinking. “Whooooooo”ing at the swim-up pool bar. Screaming out loud when spotting a wild animal on safari. Refusing to respect local traditions/ cultures. So many…

In reply to Gray.

@Gray: Oops, don’t know how I missed a reply here. Yeah, using flash when there’s a clear sign saying NOT to use it or when you’re watching a performance/concert and they specifically say no flash allowed. I suppose people could always use the language barrier as an excuse for some of these but still… Most of the people who do this, I feel, know they’re not supposed to.
