That note would make me want to take a dump on someone's stoop.

Dear tourists,
stop being impressed and happy with things like tourists. Instead be jaded and hurried like the residents.

Felix Unger is still around?

It also asks tourists to "please consider how you would feel if three million people a year from around the world trampled your street, your neighborhood, and your local park, and act accordingly -- in the way that your morals or religion or general human consideration would dictate."

As a full time resident of the Jersey Shore who has ti put up with a major annual influx of you assclowns (that began this past Friday) I find your sign amusing.

Yeah. This...
F*cking bennies.

Dont wanna deal with tourist dont live there. Thats why I avoid downtown around major holidays.

Meh, it could be worse.

I have nothing against NYC or those of you who call it home, but please know that people are not impressed by the mere fact that you live there. Residents of New York seem to need to tell you that as quickly as possible when you meet them.

As an ex London Resident, who has had many Japanese tourists ambush him to take photographs*, I'd like to say "Get over Yourself".

"Dear Chelsea, Nice problem to have. Wanna trade? Sincerely, Bedford-Stuyvesant,"

Lol, Try and get you pic taking on the steps of a building in Bed-Sty,and make sure you're wearing a blue or red bandana while you're at it.

Damn straight, anonymous resident. Hey, Visitors to Chicago! Yeah, you! Walk on the right side of the sidewalk! Don't walk three across! Stand on the right of the escalator and walk on the left! Have your order ready before getting to the cashier! (OK, that's more general.)

And the pizza sucks too

I'll random through the street any damn time I please!

You can find a similar sign in any decent neighborhood of a major city anywhere in the world.

But. please, keep hating NYers.

Liberals love to tell others how to live

As someone who lives in a World Heritage Site, I regularly have befuddled tourists wandering around in front of my house (one time having a picnic in my garden). My advice is STFU and let people photograph, wander, dawdle, whatever - they have every right to be there. Get over yourself, it's not the end of the farking world if someone stops to look at something.

The notice adds, "Buildings are not tourist attractions: People live there, and sitting on the steps and taking pictures is as invasive, rude and inappropriate as a group of strangers sitting on the steps of your home and taking pictures of it and you."

If you don't want to be constantly surrounded by lots of people including right outside your home then MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T LIVE IN farkING NEW YORK CITY!!! I'm sorry you're spending an exorbitant amount of money to live in the "greatest city ever" but this is what you signed up for.

Williamsburg ain't in much better shape. Place is so farking overrun by hipsters, you can't spit in the wind without hitting some goofy dork in jeggings and a scarf sipping a latte. Or they're tooling around (emphasis on the word "tool") on a "fixie", being complete dangerous farkwits. The boyfriend has a lot of family that live there (he's a Jew, you see), and the last time we were up there to see them, it was nigh impossible to get around without running into one of these motherfarkers.

I'd MUCH rather deal with Bed-Stuy or even Chelsea's problems than be surrounded by shiatheads wearing ironic facial hair.

People who live on the High Line ARE f*cking tourists.

Not in racist park you won't.

Has anyone told this guy he's aloud to move?

Don't want tourists? Don't live in a touristy spot. Problem solved.

Count your blessings, New Yorkers.

At least your tourists walk. Ours drive.

Take a visit to New Orleans during Mardi Gras season and then complain about people sitting on the steps of your home and taking pictures... and vomiting all over the place and flashing their 300lb Wisconsin breasts.

I've never had a hipster mug me or break into my car/apartment/etc. shoot that one teenager (yes, gang related) in the park just up the street or stab that one guy in my courtyard (thankfully I don't live there anymore). So while they may be annoying, I'd rather live around them and their ironic facial hair than the assholes who engage in the aforementioned behavior.

Dear Chelsea Resident,

Kindly STFU and stop affirming stereotypes.

I'd trade walk on the right side for not walking three across and moving out of the way of people walking towards you. I don't care where people walk on the sidewalk as long as there's room for all. I even see residents not paying attention to where they walk. My pet peeve.

Imagine if all the tourists stayed home, the tax revenues would drop through the floor! Please come to Boston, tourists, just be nice.

I live in NYC and I too find these signs amusing.

Not like we all don't have a choice on where to live you know. Free country... Blah blah blah.

I just generally avoid the "touristy" and I get along just fine. Although I do agree that here in NYC that tourists should generally avoid the WTC area during rush hour just to cut down on the madness.

hbk72777: Liberals love to tell others how to live

Come on now, you're telling me you've never felt the urge to slap an "I-40 west, use it" sticker on the back of your car?

/seriously though, this is a d-bag move

I have never lived somewhere tourists didn't want to go. It's how you know you live somewhere good. It's a status symbol. It gets to you sometimes but I just tell myself "these people are coming from around the world to take pictures of where I already am!" and the ego boost gets me through the rage.

Tourists are stupid, but living somewhere boring like most of you probably do would be way worse.

Yeah you new yorkers sure wouldn't want americans to have a low opinion of you cause americans have such high standards and are really perceptive people that are never wrong.

Hope this person realizes if New York or any major city got a reputation for being hostile to tourists that was taken seriously enough the entire city economy would collapse pretty quickly and pretty spectacularly.

Orlando is full of tourists and thus must be awesome.

Sucks to be you, High Line resident. I live in a mid sized town in the deep south that is about the farthest from a tourist destination there can be. I can't convince my closest, oldest friends to come to visit me, because I live in such a boring place. My family only visits once a year-at Christmas- because my house is large enough for everyone, and it is fairly warm here in December. Otherwise, tourists are not a problem here at all.

/I visit Manhattan often. Next time I'm going to the High Line and taking lots of pictures of buildings.

I live in Edinburgh, a world heritage site that becomes jam-packed each August for the festival. Tourists are everywhere, mobbing the streets, packing the pubs, and dithering around. Sure, it can be annoying to deal with the crowds sometimes, but generally it's a great atmosphere and part of what makes the city special.

People just need to chill out - everyone's been a tourist somewhere, and the best destinations for both living and travel are those in which locals are friendly and patient with visitors.

That's either really funny or quite disturbing, depending on if it's real or not. The people look familiar though...

You choose to live in places that have, as a necessary part of their make up, components that will cause you to be upset and uncomfortable. You do this to project some sort of "status" to impress the very people that upset you, and who don't care about you or your life to begin with. And that makes you feel good about yourself. Wow. Sad life, bro. No. Seriously. That's legitimately sad.

Ikam: I'd rather live around them and their ironic facial hair

I don't believe their facial hair is ironic so much as being patchy/stringy due to
a lack of testosterone.

DC- not only do we get a tourist season half the year, but we get international tourists (who barely speak english) and a couple days a year like you're describing- cherry blossom festival in the spring, 4th of july, inaugurations. then occasionally we get protests big enough to be annoying (most are too small to bother with).

I figure as long as I'm not giving the tourists directions to Anacostia, I'm nice enough.

tourists? fu(k, the tourists are fine. it's the third world scumbags who enter the country as illegals that need to be taught they are no longer in the barrio. blasting ethnic music all night & day, stinking up the building with a out of control outdoor fire cooking god knows what while they take up the damn stoop drinking and smoking whatever. with their kids playing in the street and squatting to shiat in between parked cars. fricking lowlifes. don't know what soap and indoor plumbing is used for. clean that crap up, get rid of that element, then you can biatch about bloody tourists.
