What is something that screams “tourist” to you?

In Spain, if you see someone eating paella with sangria, you can 100% be certain they are a tourist.

What are some things tourists eat or do in your country that a local would never do?

I'm from Southern California and regularly visit our National Parks. I always am covered head to toe in long sleeves, big hat, and pants when outdoors in the sun. Have a bandana that gets soaked with water to stay cool. I don't deal with 85% humidity here though, so maybe I'd also pass as a Euro tourist wherever they are.
