Tourists frequently treat the laws as though they are suggestions instead of the law because they'll be leaving and won't deal with whatever they did.

They drove my mother off the road and the tourists walking nearby just watched and did nothing even though she needed medical help as she was on a bike. Luckily she was fine.

Others would argue with me, a kid, about where shit was.

"How do you get off the island"

"One way on and off, it's the way you entered"

"No, there's a way off here"

"There is not"

"Fuck you" they'd say, to a kid, before driving off and finding no no. Kid is right.

Whenever we traveled we were slammed into us to be polite, follow all local laws, be kind, and I just. It feels like a lot of the shoobies just were raised in a fucking barn.

I think this is the first time I've heard the word "shoobies" said that wasn't on Rocket Power

A good sounding word. Fun to say. So I use it!
