One specific example is two girls where you are interested in the quieter one.

How do you hear more from the quieter one?

I was an Entertainment Manager. I hàd this daily. Question. What would you say politely when a previous guest in the middle of a meeting with new customers tells them not to go on an excursion. It's rubbish? What do you do or say?

What about when they don't let you speak nothing and they keep shutting you out? When you're opinion is nothing because they don't see you valuable? The ironic part of this is some of this people supposedly are highly educated and sometimes they forget what is the meaning of the word of manner and respect.
