Someone on AskReddit got a thread going about the worst tourist traps that people have encountered. At the very least these unfortunate occurrences should serve as a guide for what to keep a watchful eye out for, while you're going about traveling.

This woman got on a flight and proceeded to stir up all kinds of toxic energy. Her blind entitlement and rude behavior to all those around her, resulted in her ultimately being kicked off the flight. On top of that, it sounds like her name was removed from a website referencing where she worked. Interesting.
The conductor went full Sherlock Holmes in this highly entertaining Twitter thread from @comedylopez. It sounds like the sleepy dude almost pulled off his game of trying to fool the conductor, when it came to the matter of where he boarded the train. Ultimately, the conductor had an eagle eye and impressive ability at connecting the dots.
Americans hear all about how they can be obnoxious overseas, like being loud and embarrassing, thinking local cuisine is gross and calling someone a "foreigner" in the country they live in. Luckily, there are other less rude things American travelers do that identify them as Americans. For some more outside perspective, here are weird things people noticed about America.
What a splendid tale of a wild and entitled and generally tough to be around "Karen" getting her comeuppance at the airport. The commute life when it comes to navigating the airport is full of enough hoops without the wild "Karen" inserting herself into the mix. Sounds like this traveler hit their breaking point, and made a petty revenge out of the moment.

Director Vincent Peone, got to enjoy a private jet like experience when he defied the odds and ended up being the only passenger aboard a Delta flight from Aspen, Colorado to Salt Lake City, Utah. Peone managed to document his bizarre and hilarious experience, and at one point captures some of the crew members loading up a ton of sand bags to add weight to the plane, because he was the only passenger on board!

This passenger was extremely out of line when she got caught up in an altercation with her boyfriend. At one point you can see her bring a literal Dell computer down upon her fleeing boyfriend's head. Apparently she was removed from the flight, which ended up being delayed for a couple hours.
If you didn't grow up with garbage disposals and cheez wiz, you might also think that they aren't real. Also paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for education. Here are some things people were dumbfounded to discover actually do exist in the US of A. For the other way around, here are some culture shocked Americans describing sharing things they didn't realize were so American.
A prime example in why you shouldn't be afraid to ask for help. This woman hopped aboard a luggage conveyor belt, apparently believing that it'd take her directly to her plane. That's not how this thing works. Not at all.
When these Americans traveled abroad they quickly learned that behavior they saw as completely normal, was anything but that for other countries. It's crazy what we can learn from the world when we leave our homes for places unknown. Sometimes foreign countries can remind an American just how "American" they're acting. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing, varies.
