DC Tourist Bingo

That's right!  The newest game for locals as they travel to and fro across the District.  From my friends and I, we give you........

DC TOURIST BINGO

Yes.  Having lived here for four years now, and probably will be sticking around for another few, you come to realize just how aggravating tourists really are.  And joy of joys, I work in Tourist Central.  They are literally the worst.


They are loud.

They they stop suddenly, or better yet, move at a glacial pace.

They tend to dress alike and roam in packs.

They come wielding selfie sticks.

They are stymied by simple information.

And they escaleft.

*shudder*

So, a group of friends and I got together.  Tourist season is the biggest nuisance, but maybe we could make it bearable?  Thus, DC Tourist Bingo was born.


We compiled a list of stereotypes we've encountered around DC, ranging from the idiots who take pictures with the Washington Monument as their dicks to flag clothing to those who ask "Where's THE Smithsonian?" (newsflash - there are several of those), and we created boards out of them.  You spend the day on or near the Mall and look for the stereotypes on your board, ticking them off as you go.  First one to get bingo wins.


And hopefully by playing, you forgot to be annoyed by having to deal with tourists interrupting your day.
