Tourist insults local, asks for help - AITA for refusing?
Traveling to a new country can be exciting, but when someone mistakes you for a local and insults you, it can be a challenging experience. This is what happened to one Redditor in Naples, who was insulted by a tourist in Italian before being asked for directions. Instead of helping the tourist, the Redditor chose to call him out on his behavior and refused to offer assistance. Now, the Redditor is questioning whether they overreacted. Should they have just ignored the insult and helped the tourist anyway? Join the discussion in the comments below.
