* Disrespectful Behavior

***** A family traveling around New Zealand had its visas revoked after wreaking havoc throughout the country, including threatening tourists, stealing, and ruining a motel room.A British family of 12 has been terrorizing the people of New Zealand for a month as they travel throughout the country.

The behavior is said to have continued in their motel, as staff accused the family of throwing cigarette butts, beer cans, and even spaghetti on the floor. Staffers said the room "smelt like kid's poo" and took hours to clean.It doesn't end there, though. At the Beach, the family is accused of littering, throwing beer, baby wipes, and chips on the beach. When a local confronted the family, they allegedly threatened violence.After another unruly incident at a Burger King, the New Zealand government revoked the family's visas, forcing all 12 of them to leave the country within 28 days.
