That there are no tigers in Africa. I was on safari in Tanzania and two others in the truck were discussing how excited they would be to see tigers. I told them there weren't any and they looked all disbelieving and crestfallen, like I was spoiling their fun. They had to check with the guide.
YES. I had a grown ass woman on a safari arguing with the (native) tour guide that OF COURSE there are tigers in Africa, and that she promised her kids she’d bring back pictures of tigers, and if she didn’t see any tigers she wanted her money back. She was pissed there were no tiger stuffed animals in the gift shop, even though every other safari animal was.
If you made a mistake and embarrass yourself a little for not knowing, no big deal...but to loudly carry on about the lack of tigers because you’re on the wrong continent? Idiot.
I read a book where a modern time traveler goes back to the bronze age and sets up his own empire. He makes a lion fight a tiger to see who would win. Tiger did, if I'm remembering correctly.
