I do know that some mannerisms do not go over very well in Europe but I would think walking out of MCd's is ok :D

Trying to make the dudes with the big black fuzy hats to laugh in front of Buckingham Palace will not go over well if you are "pissed"....trust me on this one :no:

See, I'm sure you were being polite as far as you understand that term. But to an Italian that has (likely unjustified) prejudice against americans anyways, seeing American tourists coming out of a McDonald's is going to trigger some "rudeness," IMO. Your dress as a tourist plays a big role in how you will be treated in a foreign country too. Big time, IMO.

So because he didn't get setup with an authentic Italian wardrobe, and didn't stay out of McDonalds, he should expect to be treated poorly because he "looks like a tourist?" Man, that's going to make vacations a LOT more expensive. Not only that, I need to remember to be rude to tourists in the U.S. who don't fit in, I guess. :confused:

HAHA! No kidding! They are ALL about fashion in Italy. Even the "poor" peeps are metro sexual looking. Everyone there is thin and way overdressed. My wife got scolded by nuns twice. Once for taking a pic of a group of them and once for wearing shorts lol!

Polite is polite. Slamming hard into a 135 lb. girl without a second thought is rude and deserves a butt kicking, and it happend more times than I could count. The peeps there were jerks before I ate at a McD's. I only ate at one in Italy and it was our last day there. Who cares how I dress? I'm not an ass to someone over here because they dress differently than me. My only exception would be gang bangers, and it has little to do with the way they dress and more to do with how they act.
 
Mr fellow Europeans clearly didn't get the memo that everything is superior in the US.

EDIT: That should be MY not MR.

I wasn't trying to put Europe in a bad light. I was just trying to say that it made me appreciate what we have over here. The people in Rome were still rude........ I can't say enough about that. There were a lot of cool things to see in Rome though. Your sarcasm is greatly appreciated though. ;)

I was just giving a comparison. I hate McD's, but I also hate spending $50-60 for a so-so meal too. I don't think the food in Europe is all that great. They eat a lot of bread there, so the bread is good. I just wanted more protein and more options. All the Italian places had the same paninis, pizza, and pasta. The German food was the best because it was more of a meat and potato thing. Irish food was WAY too salty and I like salt quite a bit. Italian food was just ok and way overpriced IMO.

How so? Because I said I like all the choices we have over here and because I thought things were expensive over there? Those are both FACTS, not even opinions. I had a great time over there, but it still made me appreciate my country. So because I like having a lot of choices and I like competitive pricing I'm close minded?
