YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo., - A disappointed visitor to Yellowstone National Park left a note on a feedback form asking rangers to train bears to hang out where they can be seen.
The note, shared on Reddit by a person who purported to be a friend of an employee at a Yellowstone lodge, was written on the bottom of a feedback form for trouble with maintenance and housekeeping.
The note reads: "Our visit was wonderful but we never saw any bears. Please train your bears to be where guests can see them. This was an expensive trip to not get to see bears."
A Redditor commenting on the post said the note reminded them of a quote from a Yellowstone park ranger: "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists."
There needs to be a sign at every national park saying “No nincompoops will be admitted to this park.”
We could get more visitors to Yellowstone if some tourists could feed the bears. (Because, you know, tourists taste good)
I was up in Volcanoes national park and witnessed an irate German tourist berating a Hawaiian Ranger because the big crater was not in eruption. (the vent had moved on to Pu’u O’o, halfway down the mountain, several miles away).
Finally, i could stand the tourist’s abuse no longer, and said to the Ranger...
“Hey Bruh, the Eruption Switch is under the counter to your left. Just turn it on to get rid of da jerk.”
no doubt, a democrat
It’s the lady’s fault for sitting their as still as a cupcake. The bear got her scent and thought it was suppertime.
Just to solidify Liberalism is a mental disorder
Was that a boom Box? Bear must not like rap. Cause even a bear knows rap is crap.
The Zoos are still open, even after Labor Day. Save your tour money and go there.
poor woman but FUNNY
I could have written that note during our visit a few years ago that included time at Grand Teton NP, too. The guy in the RV spot next to us said a bear strolled between our spaces at lunch time one day but we were out in the park. I also should have written a similar note to Xanterra about my visit to the Grand Canyon the day they filled it in with fog...
Years ago, our neighbors went to Yellowstone. They brought their black Cockapoo dog with them. While walking the dog, a lady was so excited to see that they had a bear on a leash she wanted to take a picture.

The bears in all your photos are no TEDDIES - - -
It’s their own fault. They obviously didn’t read the notice to slather themselves in bacon grease before going hiking.
I was walking a spur of the Appalachian trail and a baby bear about that size came right up to me on the trail and wanted to play.
For what was only an instant but seemed like a year I had to decide which way to go up or down the trail. Would I be walking toward or away from Mom?
For what was only an instant but seemed like a year I then had to decide whether to run like hell or try to walk calmly away from the cub.
For what was only about 15 minutes but seemed like two years I walked as fast as I could without breaking stride. I finally outpaced the damn cub and never saw Mom.
My entire body shook for about an hour.
We have signs along Alaska highways indicating ‘moose crossing.’ That’s a warning. We don’t want to go careening into a moose at 55 mph.
Hey lady, what do you think this is? Some pension in France, or hotel In New Hampshire?
