Shared a house many years ago with some guy who use to go Thursday night shopping in his flannelette PJs.
Had a few other weird habits as well. :D

I think the residents are getting a bit territorial to be honest. Its a reality of those types of areas which they dont like. Id say there is more to the bloke in the corner story too. I bet if the locals looked hard enough they could predict using a calendar when these types of paranormal occurances happen.
G-strings in the shops, thats crazy talk. Elephant smugglers... only when I'm leaning over the meat counter. :D
Went to a mates place for couple days at xmas.Its down the south coast.
Normally it would take 5 minutes to drive into town,on boxing day it took us 1/2 hr to get to the shops.All the beaches were packed,cant find parking...Bloody terrorists...:p :D
Reminds me of when I used to live on the Gold Coast in the early eighties..thats another story tho..
cheers
I used to find that a lot of the backpackers did this in Cairns. I bet they wouldn't do it in their home town. Another dislike of mine is when they sit in a cafe or restaurant with no shirt on. I might sound like a bit of a prude but there needs to be some standards.
Not prudish at all, I totally agree. Shirtless is fine on the beach, in the park or in the pool, but when I'm sitting down to eat, I don't want your sweaty armpits in my face thank you.
As to the OP, I also agree. Bikinis or budgie smugglers are not suitable wear for a supermarket. I've seen it a few times, and I've been tempted every time to grab something from the freezer section and tuck it down the back. :D
But I don't have a great deal of sympathy for those complaining about an influx of tourists. Wherever you get a crowd of people you will witness the best and the worst of human nature. The only way around that is to opt out. ;)
Same applies particularly to Jetstar and Virgin flights. I wonder why some of them even bother to dress:eek: (feet) thongs, string vests, poor body hygiene seem to be the uniform of choice for most of them. I refused to fly south for Christmas and drove instead ...
Being born and bred in rosebud, budgie smugglers was our main dress code, was a tad embarrassing in winter though:)
In the North West of QLD we call them "Tourons"! Tourist/Moron.
Nothing to do with them disrupting our lifestyle or anything like that & we appreciate the money they spend.
But leaving rubbish everywhere, riding Quads on the dunes, driving on closed roads, gripping because there is no bank/coffee shop/Myers or whatever, camping on private properties & just plain arrogance.
The above would only be a few % as most a great & considerate but the few does tend to tar all with the same brush.
