Not seeing bears while on a wildlife vacation to Yellowstone National Park is like not getting to ride Space Mountain on a trip to Disney World. One guest decided that the lodge they stayed at should've "trained" their furry residents better.

A Reddit user posted a picture of a note left by a disgruntled guest at a lodge at Yellowstone National Park where their friend works. Apparently a bear-less trip left them wanting more.

Whether the note is a sincere complaint or just a clever joke, it has caught the attention of the Internet.

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.

The note has gone viral online with many posting comments like, "There is considerable overlap between the intelligence of the smartest bears and the stupidest tourists" and "There's this one nightclub, full of bears."
