Daily Dose of Facepalm
It never ceases to amaze me how little attention people pay when they’re on vacation. At the historic site I work at, it’s not uncommon for us to have tons of guests that show up without knowing ANYTHING about the place. So, I’ve worked out this little “script” I go into that explains what the place is and what we’ve got. Takes all of literally 30 seconds.
And then I get guests like this guy. I had just wrapped up my little speech for him, with him nodding along the whole time, before he reaches over to our rack of postcards and picks up one of the front gate. It’s a beautiful photo and everyone drives through the gate as they come in. This guy then proceeds to ask, in all seriousness, “So, this front gate here, is there, like, anything beyond it?”
Seriously, bud?
