Sometimes I teach at a training centre, and there is a wide range of courses taught there, from Word introduction , to CCNA, ITIL and Prince Project Management.... etc etc. So, you can imagine all the different types of people in the coffee area, waiting to go into the training room.
I have this little game I play, and I look around and try to see or guess ( or figure out ) which students are mine, and I get it right quite often.
Now, there is a receptionist who greets the delegates when they arrive, and she has a clear view of them, all the way from the lift. So I said to her one day :
"I bet you can tell quite well which course someone is here for, just by looking at them coming out of the lift?" and she says, yes, she often can.
So I ask, (foolishly!) : "If you'd never seen me before, and I was dressed like this, (I motion to my clothes) and came out of the lift, which course would you say I was here for?"
She "I'd tell you where the nearest Oxfam charity shop is!"
All I could do was laugh !
