I've had the usual run-in with well meaning yokels who are keen to spark up a conversation while you wait in queues.
'So where are you from?'
'Scotland'
'Gee, is that in Germany? You sure speak good English'
'Thank you. Where are you from?'
'Dallas,Texas'
'Gee, is that in Mexico? I don't even detect a hint of it in your accent'
Que the Texan getting really upset and trying to lecture me on US States while still thinking I'm German. Dummkopf.
Me too. It's the home of the Celtics, colonial cousins of my own team, Glasgow Celtic. All hail the team in green. Hail Hail.
Seriously, what do you even say?! 
This is mostly off-topic but it relates to the ongoing geography discussion that's been going on. I am constantly amazed by the lack of awareness of where things are. I work at a middle school and I have had students tell me that the North Pole is an American state, Vietnam isn't a country it was a war, and, worst of all (and it's pretty d**n bad!) this question (from 2 separate students in 2 separate classes while teaching a chapter on Ancient China): "Do Chinese people see the same way we do?"
Not to mention, I work and live in NJ and had an 8th grader who could not label NJ on a U.S. map.
I constantly work to negate ignorance and try to give my students the background knowledge they need to succeed in life, but it's not easy!
Poor Grandma..my Dad did something similar on Soarin'..didn't yell or say anything but as they started lifting the ride vehicle into the screen, he grabbed my leg and held on for dear life. 
After the ride, I asked why he did that-he said he thought we were going to be shot out over the park!
In line for TOT, a very elderly couple were standing just in front of me. They were speaking Japanese to each other very quietly, and I could tell they had no idea about the ride. When we got to the boiler room, and just before you enter the elevator, they were very confused about the directions the CM was giving them about where to place their feet on the arrows. A lot of hushed whispering, then the CM literally placed their feet where he wanted them. Then they both said "Aaaah!" and they nodded. So all through the ride, the Twilight Zone part, I kind of kept my eye on them, nodding to them and smiling. Then just as the ride showed them how high up they were and we began to freefall, I distinctly heard this meek foreign man beside me yell out (clear as a bell), "Son of a B----"
The other one that still has me chuckling is the AKL one where the man passed gas on the balcony and when his wife came out and commented on the animals smelling bad he "innocently" agreed with her.
My sister and I took my dad to Crystal Palace this past December on his 65th birthday trip for lunch since he loves Pooh and Eeyore. The lady at the table before ours kept saying to her daughter "I hope Igor gets here soon" and "oooh look, here comes Igor". Eeyore is my favourite, so I couldn't help chuckling, then made sure when he came to our table I hugged him and said loudly , "Eeyore, I love you", "Thanks Eeyore" so she heard me. But I still hear her say afterwards as she showed her daughter the camera - "look at your picture with Igor!"

Well, in Spanish the character is called Igor . Maybe her native language was (like mine) Spanish... On the other side of the coin, sometimes I have to make an effort just to say "Eeyore" when thanking him (it is not just "natural"

Horror and Disney just don't go together!
