Hey, not all of us are total obnoxious idiots when it comes to travel. I will admit, however, that being half-English and sixteen, I've had my share of "America beat you in two wars and saved you in two more. We're BETTER than you." As if I'm not a citizen and a Boy Scout in the US. And I have noticed that most people who end up ticking me off on trips anywhere are American. Some are toddlers who just threw something across the aisle into my lap, or some drunk idiot practically shouting at everyone around him for no reason.

But, I've also had some good experiences with fellow American travellers. Well, just one. It involved our train from Vancouver to Seattle getting cancelled; my dad, five random travellers who lived in Seattle and me cramming into a minivan for 8 hours until we got back to our hotel at 3am and they were all polite and tried to keep my spirits up. (I was only 8 at the time.) So, while there are A LOT of terrible American travellers, don't label all of us that way.
