Going to a workshop is always fun (especially when it’s what you do for your company). I was going to a workshop on Social Media (women only... I thought it wouldn’t be that bad...)After spending two hours in traffic, getting lost, fighting with taxi drivers because they wouldn’t let me in their lane... and having near heart failure because I was late for the registration, I finally arrived and took a deep breath of relief.

I walked through the door into a beautifully decorated room and because I was late all the tables were mostly full (apart from one). I approached the table and politely asked if I could join their table...and much to my disbelief they blatantly ignored me and to make matters  worse they pulled off some of the best ‘death stares’ known to mankind (OR womankind).

Before I sat down I put my hand out and introduced myself and Kezi , but yet again I was left hanging- no voices- only evil stares. I proceeded to sit down feeling horribly uncomfortable, and even contemplated moving tables. 3 hours later- not one of them had said a word to me. The workshop was great but the environment was horrible.

Situations like that make me wonder if some people in this world even know what manners are- I cannot understand how a table of ten adult women can be so impolite and still be content with their lives. Being polite does not cost anything and being friendly doesn’t either.
