These questions were asked by tourists when I worked in Yosemite National Park.
Are the trees real?
What did they do with the rest of the concrete when they made Half Dome?
When are they going to finish building Half Dome?
When do they let the animals out?
When do they turn the waterfalls back on?
How much do you have to pay to ride the free shuttle?
Ridiculous conversations that happened a lot:Tourist: *points to an employee housing area* What is that?
Me: Employee housing.
T: You mean I can't stay there?
M: Yes
T: Why not?
M: It's for employees.
T: The employees live here?
M: Yes
T Why can't I stay there?
M: The employees live there.
T: But why can't I stay there?
M: The employees LIVE there!
Tourist: I don't like my room.
Me: Ok well here is a list of available rooms and a map. If you find one that you like better, let me know and I'll move you.
T: I like room 250.
M: That room isn't available.
T: Well I like that one. I want to stay there.
M: There is already someone checked into that room.
T: They aren't in there.
M: They probably went out.
T: There isn't any stuff in there.
M: It is probably in the bear boxes.
T: Well I don't see why I can't have that room if there is no one in there.
M: They've already checked in. I'm sorry but it is first come first serve.
T: I had a reservation and I requested that room.
M: So did they.
T: Well I'm here. You said it was first come first serve.
M: They have already checked in. There is nothing I can do.
T: Let me speak to your manager!
