"Stupid f*c*king American's"

It was the last night in Italy, so obviously I couldn’t leave Europe without being yelled at by a Florentine. So respectively telling us to “Shut up you stupid f*c*king Americans.” So, let me take you back to what started it all. We were drinking, what us Americans do best. Another key component to this story is that in Italy there is about 25% of the population really uses AC, and if your truly Italian you don’t even know what an AC is, so you live with the windows open. So, I had the pleasure of my professor asking me to come to a bar with her friends (not uncommon because drinking in Italy is like eating in America). We went out, I drank way too much, tried absinthe, apparently drunk called my friend, you get my point. My American friends decided to come along and we all got rowdy, the Americans. So, we were told by the bar owner for us to step outside. Next thing you know it I find a dog outside and I’m all over it, hugging, kissing, practically screaming how cute he was. All I heard next was the screeching slam of shutter windows being smashed closed. So, I thought maybe she has bugs in her house (there are no screens in Italy). Than it all came crashing down, the old Italian women swings her shutters open and yells those dreaded words. As now we were asked to leave the bar and this woman upset I looked to my professor for guidance in what we should do and she just said, “Give the hand and she’ll shut it soon.” It was straight from a movie as the old lady kept yelling her neighbor decided to tag along as well as he also yelled and screamed gibberish at us. As I didn’t care for the name calling, it made me feel like a dreadful tourist. But in retrospect I am one, so I better just embrace it and live up to the name of a “Stupid f*c*king American.”
