What personal experience made you realize people knew so little about Canada?

Mine was on a recent trip to the States. To enter this bar we needed to bring our passports and the security at the door looked at our passport absolutely bewildered, called over his coworkers, they stared at it confused. Then they called over management and the manager asked us if it was fake. We stood there for 20 minutes as they went through our passport. We legit told them “we’re Canadian,” and they still were very confused. As they finally let us in, the group of security checking our passports were googling what a Canadian passport looks like.
