This month, the winner of #WorstTourist goes to an American tourist who caused international outrage after she was filmed snatching an adorable baby wombat from its mother and running off with it.
Australia revoked her travel visa and put her on a plane home.
In Pennsylvania, a man was caught on March 7 going through security at a New Jersey airport with a live turtle hidden in his pants. Let’s hope it wasn’t the snapping species.
China’s biggest hotpot chain Haidilao has offered to compensate more than 4,000 diners who visited one of its Shanghai branches after a video of two teen boys peeing into their hotpot broth went viral.
Police said the 17-year-olds, who were drunk at the time, were detained soon after the incident.
In Ireland, a campaigner is trying to stop tourists from fondling the breasts of Dublin’s famous Molly Malone statue, which are literally getting discolored from all the groping.
Airplanes always make the list of unruly tourists, and March is no exception.
This month’s incidents include shoving, biting (!), swallowing rosary beads and trying to open the emergency doors.
In the case of the swallowed rosary bead, the passenger was apprehended by airport police and taken to a hospital. Then, the passenger was booked into the Chatham County jail.
On an International flight, an obviously upset passenger tried to open an emergency exit and a flight attendant ended up breaking their leg as they tried to restrain him.
We can hope next month we’ll have less to write about but somehow, we doubt it.
