People watching -1 at a seminar

Went to a seminar last week and made these random observations.

1. I counted the number of people attending the seminar, there were 40 women to about 162 men. What kind of fractions is that?

2. I think only 1/4 of the lot were really paying attention and the rest were there cause office sent (including me)

3. Some people get up and ask questions thinking they are so clever but ask real dumb ass ones. why is that

4. In colombo if u go to any different type of seminar u are bound to run into someone u know.

5. before they wrap up the seminar about 3/4 of the people walked out although there was no delay whatsover.

6. a man seated in front was just turned and staring for the after interval part of the seminar. not flattering to oneself since it was stalker like stare. old uncle in front was looking this way that way this way and that way.

1. The seminar was that boring ha?

2. They would have paid, so they would have listened to get their monies worth ;0)

3. Just attention seekers. you are right why is that all idiots think they are clever?

4. if you are sri lankan, go to any gathering not only a seminar and you'd know someone or someone who knows someone who knows you!

5. maybe they thought there'll be a stampede? ;o)

6. geesh. scary old uncle.

The majority of Seminars are held:

1. To give corporates an opportunity to spend their training budgets.
2. To give employees a free day out with lunch and tea and the opportunity to hobnob with a few colleagues and friends.
3. To bring some revenue to the hotels.

Other benefits are largely incidental.
