Swede here, I worked at an American/Global company's internal IT helpdesk for 4,5 years, and I can't say that I have ever met an american I have actually disliked, at worst I felt ambivalent, but for the most part I just felt generally positive towards them.

Worst users I have worked with based on nationallity tend to be people from UK, it was not unusual for them to act slightly superior to us lowly IT servants, don't get me wrong, most Brits I have met are great guys, but when working with some of them, they seem to be stuck in a strict classist society and be very much aware of that we were below them, which does not work in Sweden.

I'm going to Spain again next year, and mostly what I've read is that the Brits are the least liked tourists there, and I'm so thrilled. I mean, I've never had issues anywhere because I know how to behave myself and don't really travel with the intent to party, but it'll be nice not to to be starting from so far behind this time.

Spain is one of the cheaper holiday destinations for brits. A lot of our worst holidaymakers are making their holidays in Spain.

We truly are cunts as a group when given a warm evening and decently priced alcohol.
