ugly Americans

This sounds awful! I am sorry you had to hear it! I hope I didn't sound like that! I never meant to!

Have a wonderful time with your family! We will be visiting my mother in law next week, so I am also going to be less Steemit present :D

    Safely back home and slowly catching up (too many non-Steem priorities ...) @insight-out, thought I would drop you a quick post excerpt from another Steemian on the phrase "ugly American"

    "For decades the stereotype of the "Ugly American" formed the basis for many a nightmare that kept hapless European waiters and hotel clerks awake nights (Teel, Smarter Travel). It was probably a well-earned stereotype. I am one of the most nationalistic Americans ever born, but as a long-time expat I can say there have been plenty of times when groups of my countrymen, especially entitlement-minded twenty-somethings, have made me want to backhand them and stuff them in crates on the next cargo ship back to the States to prevent them from embarrassing the US any further with their boisterous idiocy."

    From the post of an American expat in China - @patriamreminisci

    So ... To be clear, this phrase was not personally directed at me. I was just aware of it, when I began to make my first international trips ...

    Hopefully that sets your mind at ease that it was nothing in what you have written which led to my making this reference.
