While walking home last night we came upon four loud, drunk, obnoxious tourists coming out of one of the local restaurants on Calle Adelita. They were overly loud and obviously drunk. As they got into the taxi one of the female drunks yells out "Ixtapa and hurry it up!".

Why is it that some tourists think that coming to Mexico gives them the authority to be rude and obnoxious not only to the locals but everyone else who happens to be unfortunate enough to be in the same vicinity as them?

Calle Adelita is a street made up of restaurants and homes. I'm not sure what those four drunks would think if me and my friends showed up in their neighborhood acting as rudely as they did, but I bet you dollars to donuts they wouldn't like it. They may not even like it if they could have seen a video of how they behaved last night. Then again who knows maybe that is common behavior for them.

It is time that those that visit this wonderful country start treating the country and the people with respect and start toning it down. Sure enjoy yourselves, why not, you're on vacation, but have some common decency and decorum and respect those around you and especially the locals.

We all want to have fun but not to the extent that it detracts from the enjoyment of others.

Just saying!

"Ixtapa and hurry it up!".

Not so sure this is a rude statement?

Not the words so much as the tone in which they were spoken.

Rude is rude!

True! Tone is bilingual.

I used to excuse a lot of really bad behaviour by chalking it up to the perpetrators level of intoxication until I noticed that people who are rude and obnoxious after having a few drinks are usually rude and obnoxious when completely sober, just maybe a little quieter about it. Hearing people saying that they are on vacation as a way of making their antics acceptable is particularly annoying. Your being on vacation does not give you the right to impose your loud, often foul mouthed festivities on anyone in your vicinity. Particularly offensive is hearing one of these "funny" guys talking to staff of a restaurant or hotel in a demeaning way because they feel that they can get away with it. That is when I feel perfectly within my rights to intervene and point out there bad behaviour and suggesting that they probably would want to apologize. I believe that it doesn't cost anything to treat everybody with whom you have contact with dignity and respect and that should be our standard of behaviour.

maybe they are from one of those flyover cities. You know the ones you fly over and never stop.
We all have them. Sort of like if Mom and Dad get divorced are we still cousins.

Why would you equate a drunken tourist with a flyover city? A drunken tourist is a drunken tourist no matter where they're from. Grrr!

My pet peeve is people who go to the grocery store in their bikinis, both men and women.

Our friends in Hawaii taught us the way it is handled there. Politely ask them if they would dress like that in THEIR home town to shop.

I've never had anything but embarassment from the people, and hopefully they won't do it again!

I agree! What's up with that crap. I too think that most of them wouldn't walk around in their bikinis, no shirts, beer in hand, etc, in their own town and would probably be pissed if someone did, so why is it okay here?

It is far and few between, mostly never, that I see any locals, or Mexican visitors, walking around in bikinis etc. And that having a beer in the hand thing is just bizarre. Want a beer? Stop at a local restaurant and have one or two, that way you're supporting a local merchant and you're not embarrassing yourself on the streets.

And leave your shirt on until you're on the beach.

¡Dios mio!

Lol considering the average gringo age here is probably 75 I guess I should expect those opinions. Maybe Walmart attire should be mandatory and ban that devil music called rock n roll. :omg: :smoking:

Sounds like the alcohol culture strikes again! But HEY! It's LEGAL!

Yes, we had revellers making noise all night long here downtown until 7:30 this morning. This is the NEW Zihuatanejo that our gobierno municipal and all the wannabe young turks like to promote. No cops. No law & order. Just 65+ bars open all night long in the downtown area alone and their customers can do whatever their drunk little hearts desire.

Highly unlikely that coming to Mexico had anything to do with their behavior. I'd bet lots of money they act the same way at home after a few too many.

You just hit the nail on the head. Myself, working in a tourist town have seen it all. When it comes to the major holidays we refer to them as "Amateur Night Rookies". They get worse every year.
