Around here we just hate tourists. We don't mind people from out of state at all and will be as helpful as we can be and even share all the hidden gems.

But when leaf peepers come to town? That's where the hate for outsiders starts. They drive slowly and don't oay attention. And because of it they cause car accidents. They fill up parking spaces to shops they dont go to. They crowd sidewalks or block off traffic to take pictures or just to chit chat with each other. Hell one time on a back dirt road a guy was painting a fall picture of the mountains, in the middle of the road. We had to ask him to move so we could drive home. They're inconsiderate and tend to be very rude. If you ask them to move you get nothing but attitude no matter how polite you are. These people even go into people's yards and walk through private property for videos and photos or better views.

It's obnoxious.

So around here we just hate leaf peepers that come to town every autumn
