Queen's Guard turns rifle on annoying tourist

Nothing screams "I'm a tourist" like pestering the Queen's Guard. For some reason, tourists enjoy spending their short time in London attempting to get the soldiers to crack a smile or acknowledge the attention in some small way. When this annoying tourist stepped up to the plate (or palace), he got way more than he bargained for.

The unamused serviceman had finally had enough. It's one thing to chat their ears off and wave your hands in front of their faces, but when this tourist grabbed the soldier's shoulder, the poor guy snapped. Enough was enough. He shoved the tourist off of him and, in a moment of dramatic fury, aimed his rifle directly at the tourist and yelled:

Attention was what he wanted, and attention was what he got. Let's hope this tourist learned his lesson. That's the last time he'll be messing with the Queen's Guard.

People took to Twitter to condemn the tourist for his actions and to praise the Queen's Guard for his reaction.
