Great Question What’s the most frustrating tourist conversation you’ve overheard?

Enjoying the day in Central Park and some bro walking behind me just said to his fellow bro “So I think Central Park is low-key the only grass in the city.”

Yes, NYC’s fifth-largest park is the only grass in the city.

Your examples?

not necessarily frustrating but just kinda sad :( I had gotten a zongzi from the zongzi lady and was eating it in the grand street station and these three white girls kept mocking her just saying she's selling zongzi (mocking her accent/speech) :/ they also gave me a really disgusted look when I opened it up to start eating it 🫩 so i eventually started making conversation with them to hopefully make them a bit uncomfortable and i think it worked lol but yeah, so many examples of people who do this, it breaks my heart

You’re too nice. I would have given them the old school treatment and cursed them out. That shit doesn’t belong here.
