In The Face Of Stupidity

Before I get to the core point of the stupidity I faced, I want to bring up something that Morpheus told Neo when Neo was about to jump across the building in The Matrix. He said "Don't think you can, know you can." I had a discussion with my cousin on these usage of words. We decided that "know" is still doubtful. The following example, if used on you by someone, would have an impact, especially the last line.

"I think you are stupid" - 50% doubt
"I believe you are stupid" - 25% doubt
"I know you are stupid" - 1% doubt
"You ARE stupid" - 0% doubt

Back to the main story, this was what I faced. A family of five (2 adults and 3 kids) invited a two families, FamilyA being 3 adults and 1 baby, and FamilyB having 3 adults and 3 kids. They were invited to have lunch together. Key word: "together". So both these families came, who don't really know each other. We are FamilyA.

We came in, none of the host was around, though we did see the host pressing the automatic gate earlier. Only the maid is seen. After 3-5 mins, one adult host came to greet. Another 5 mins, another adult host came to greet. Then FamilyB came, and FamilyA intro-ed themselves to FamilyB. Seems FamilyB's kids know the host kids. So, the kids joined up and played. Female adult host was busy attending to the food on the table.

Then we were all invited to eat. All adults of FamilyA and FamilyB. What of the host?! Oh.. the male host was nowhere to be seen. The female host just sat there, looking at us eat. So much for a lunch get-together. No different from a restaurant setting except that the food is free.
