They ask about vacation, perks/benefits etc. ... basically all the fluffy intangible stuff.
The most classic one I remember was a guy had an interesting CV, interviewed reasonably well, then at the end of the interview his choice of question to ask was "where's my office ?".
The briefest of glances at his surroundings whilst being led to the interview room would have made it quite clear there were no private corner offices with a view on offer (it was a small open-plan office, the only two closed off rooms were the interview/meeting room and the kitchenette ... both had glass partitions, so it was clear to see).
Aside from the obvious, the other problem with the question was that the job ad did state this was a primarily field-based role.
