We have a guest with no social graces. Argued every statement with another guest this morning in a conversation about languages. Sat directly in the hallway blocking all the other guests from easy access to the dining room. Everyone has to step over and around the guest to get to the coffee. And still guest did not move.
Refused to pull in chair when a GROUP of guests were forced to sit at a table for 2 because this guest would also not vacate the table commandeered at 7 AM. CHILD of this guest got up to give chair to the group and parent asked what was going on. 'I'm giving them my chair, I am done, I don't need it,' and child walked away leaving parents still hogging table with chairs pushed out into the walkway between tables.
ANOTHER table got up to give up their seats and STILL this person sat there. I finally had to go ask guest to move. EXACTLY what the person was waiting for. Now there is a big sigh and another 'blot on my copybook' as the Brits used to say. I have just not been gracious enough, accommodating enough or servile enough. Enough.
