I think the idiocy virus is going around.

Americans are woefully ignorant of their own country's geography.

That should be funny, but I find it pathetic. Clueless people

(*bangs head*)

The thing that makes this sad is its a very common occurrence. This is the first time I've had someone hang up on me. I sometimes think that some of these people are older and maybe when they were in school Hawaii and Alaska were not part of the states or they never got the memo.This is one of the reason's why I sometimes have trouble going to work is because I deal with people like this quite a bit. They think they know it all.

No. No. No. When they were in school, Alaska and Hawaii may still have been territories, but at least the schools actually taught geography.

They still do teach Geography (but its not called that anymore) in school but its different from what I was taught. My customers are Business people (small, medium and fortune 500 companies) so many tend to be older. I can not figure out why people can not understand what is covered and what is not. I has to be because they are not connected to the main land of the U.S. which would explain why they think Canada and Mexico are covered.

but he/she is going to Hawaii....
