Incredibly stupid air-launch tower question

Yea my favorite is where is the eiffel tower at KI? When they are looking directly at it. Or my other favorite would have to be where is the beast when you are right in front of it.

What about people at Disney's Magic Kingdom in FL asking how to get to the Matterhorn Bobsleds...

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents..

Questions like "how do I get to [location right behind them]" aren't necessarily a sign of a stupid guest. Usually it's a person who's never been to the park, doesn't have a clue of how to get around the park, and has an urgent need (for example, restrooms). They might not know what the "typical look" is for a restroom in that park, and despite the huge, oversized sign that says 'Restroom', they see a worker, so they'd know how to get places. Add in the fact that said huge sign may be screened by a tree or unforgiving sun glare, and it further legitimizes the question.

As for the "Do you work here?" question, I've always loved those myself. Rather than thinking of them being the top answer for the qualifications on the redundancy job application, consider it as the guest being polite. It's their way of breaking the ice and initiating the conversation without saying "HEY YOU!" or otherwise coming across as the "typical rude guest." Also, by saying "Do you work here?" Everyone in earshot who is a park patron knows you're not talking to them, and the worker, while rolling their eyes, knows you ARE talking to them.

Any other stereotypical stupid questions you want me to take a crack at? *** Edited 12/18/2004 1:07:58 AM UTC by dannerman***
