I worked at a resort hotel outside of Lake Louise for 4 summers... This is not an exaggeration of the ignorance of tourists.
One of the "local" grizzlies was in an open field near the hotel and people were trying to get close enough to die. The General Manager shouted at them and told them to keep back.
Every staff member in the place stopped working to gawk at the bear. While we were enjoying the sight, one of the gift shop girls told me that a woman came running into the gift shop, dragging her (approximately) 3 year old boy behind her in a panic... She wasn't panicking because of the bear, but because we didn't have any honey she could put on her kid's hand for the bear to lick off.
Mother of the Year candidate right there...
