Yes, you are so right...agree with you entirely. There was this one time, some years back, when a bunch of kids crashed the meeting because they wanted the main speaker to say something nice to them and touch their heads or something. I didn't like it because it just didn't feel right, and we were already falling behind schedule anyway, and so me and the other guys began to beat them back, but the main speaker rebuked us and told us to let them through. I was so mad. Never forgot that, though.
Then, this other time, we were in another meeting, and this woman just butts into the room and falls at the main speakers feet and breaks this really expensive jar of perfumed ointment over him, and starts smearing it all over his feet, and his hands, and...well...you can imagine my indignation. First of all I couldn't believe the sheer waste, and then, of course, this wasn't on the agenda of the meeting at all...I mean...why couldn't she have arranged a private meeting or something...It was all so annoying. I wanted to ask her to leave immediately, but, you know, the main speaker would have none of dat....
Some people just have no sense of decorum!!!
