It’s amazing what people say without thinking some times. :) I’m afraid I have been guilty of some “Duh!” comments at times.

There are great. Just great :D

My favorite real life one is from when I worked at Disney: “What time is the three o’ clock parade?” Hmmm…I have no idea!

Ha! I used to have people ask me where the Washington Monument is when I lived near DC. I’d say “see that big pointy thing over there? go that way”

Ugh. This just reminds me that DC’s tourist season is in full swing and they seem to travel on the metro AT rush hour with as many baby buggies, big-ass bags, while screaming kids while poking your eye out accidentally while pointing at the metro map.

brilliant list though. It rocks.
