It's that time of year again where tourists flood Michigan Avenue and its plethora of restaurants and shops. Sure, Illinois could use the revenue brought in by tourists, but they make summer almost unbearable for us Chicago residents. I'm not saying we kick all of the tourists out, but they could at least become a little more self-aware. If you're planning a trip to Chicago, take note of these tourist faux-pas.

1. Walk too slowly.

I know you're tired from your day of shopping, but I'm in a hurry and you are moving at snail speed.

2. Stand in the middle of the sidewalk.

You're disrupting traffic and making our lives more difficult.

3. Take selfies with everything.

Please just ask me to take the photo for you.

4. Feed the pigeons.

When the pigeons take over, I'm blaming you.

5. Clog up lines.

I literally just want to go to the Art Institute without waiting in line for an hour.

6. Ask me for directions.

Please just use your phone because odds are that I don't even know where you are going.

7. Bring their crying children.

You are literally the reason I don't want children.

8. Cargo shorts.

Literally, what can you fit in cargo shorts that you couldn't fit in a backpack?

9. Talk to me on the train.

Can you not see that I have my headphones in?

10. Travel in groups.

Was it really necessary to bring your ENTIRE extended family?
