Are you talking about the shorts (worn with no socks, yay), the too-tight jeans that make the women look deformed, the muffin top, or the guy on the left dressing like a six-year-old in too-big clothes?

i'm going to guess the shorts and loafers. only those working out wear shorts around this place ;)

I'm way more offended by the white belt, white shoes, and white tanktop on the girl on the left. The guy in the shorts doesn't even register beyond "oh look, someone from Mountain View." Tanktops are just as bad as shorts.

I love tanktops like woah! <3 I look not-so-great in them, but I don't let that stop me.

Also, I wear socks with Teva-style sandals, but only to do the elliptical in the safety of my own home.

Just call me Ms. Fashion Faux-Pas. Not much new here. :)

There are other fashion horrors in the picture that don't even say 'tourist' to me but 'damn Americans.'

The girl in the white tank top is wearing cross-trainers. Only Americans think cross-trainers are casual shoes.

Not that I want to.
But PT Dood sez "wear cross trainers until your foot is 100% happy."

That's different.

The ubiquity of it suggests that either everyone has foot problems, or lots of people suck.

We all have foot problems when we walk more than a mile, due to not walking enough.

That is my theory. From my ass.

And in America, they are. So what? We're not exactly a niche group here. When you start nagging on the shared style choices of a few hundred million people, you sound like kind of a dick.

Most of the people wearing cross-trainers in public are cross-training to become Type II diabetics.

Using athletic footgear as a fashion statement is ridiculous in a nation as unathletic as today's US.

...although, at least with cross-trainers, podiatrists don't cringe like they do with $5 flip-flops.

"You're too fat to wear comfortable shoes." Got it.

WTF dude? Pull the Holy Stick out of your ass. What does it matter to you if, in a city of 800,000, some dude is wearing khakis?

You're a redneck from Montana, or had you forgotten? :-) I bet you still wear t-shirts with huge grizzly bears on them. In public. :-)

Don't MAKE me post photos of you from high school.

He's wearing khaki shorts and loafers with no socks in a city where NOBODY wears shorts unless they're exercising.
Except touristas.

Like I said, who the fuck are you? :-)

You've been in San Fran for what, two, three years, and now you hold the keys to the city?

Granted loafers with no socks is atrocious. But it's a free country. Everyone in Seattle wears shorts until late September (knee-length cargo, of course - especially if you're on a bike). I call phooey on you Bay Area fags. ;-)

You still have the grizzly bear shirts, dontcha? :-D

He's dressed differently from the people who live there. Horror of horrors.

The douche has been incorrectly identified in this scenario.

He's not a douche because he's dressed differently. He's a douche because he's a tourist.
He's easily-identifiable as a tourist because of how he's dressed, however.

Trust me, Gandhi himself would develop a raging hate-on for tourists if he spent enough time in San Francisco.

i've been here 7 years and i don't hate tourists. i've been a tourist all over the world and i certainly hope they weren't calling me and/or jd a douche, even when we did stuff like this.

FWIW, I don't think those pics make you look like the kids of tourists I dislike. JD isn't standing in the middle of the street reading his map, for instance. Last time I rode through the Mall, some tourists just stopped right in the middle of (a narrow) street that I was trying to get down to take a picture of ME. None of your pics seem to have a biker flipping you off, ha ha ha.

Multiply that guy by 100 and imagine them blocking your entrance to work by not understanding how to navigate a metal detector when you're late and haven't had coffee.
