I play in Australia. People comment on how tight I am. I agree and joke along with them 'I'm waiting for suited aces' etc. Then I get a hand and raise and they call anyway.
One thing I will say, having an image as a total rock does generate additional fold equity post flop. So it's not actually a bad thing.
Australians take the piss and like people who banter. If they verbally noted you are tight and your response was to sit there with a face like a smacked arse, yeah they probably needled you and were probably glad you got coolered when you finally played a hand.

Look at this way, if you play correctly at a table of donkeys (i.e. every live low stakes table ever) you will be playing much tighter than the average and they will notice, which means someone will comment on it at some point in most sessions that you play. That's going to happen, so it's up to you to work out how you want to deal with it. If you find it super tilting, yeah probably this game is not for you.
