Chicago gets a lot of praise for its stunning architecture, breathtaking city sights, and seriously good deep-dish pizza, so it's no wonder so many people flock to the third-largest US city. But some tourists get a little too carried away in the Windy City.

Maybe first-time visitors to the Skydeck prepare for a full-on photoshoot on the famous glass ledge without realizing that they have only 60 seconds for pics.

Or perhaps tourists who plan their trip in the wintertime don't realize how cold it REALLY gets there.

THEY DON’T EVEN HAVE A COLOR TO DESCRIBE HOW COLD IT’S GOING TO BE

Or maybe they book tickets to Cubs games waaaaay in advance without realizing that they might get better deals if they just buy them on game day.

So, Chicagoans, help us help them by sharing some of the worst mistakes tourists make when they visit the city for the first time. Tell us in the comments below, and you might be featured in a future BuzzFeed Community post or video.
