    She was probably on her fourth hour of a nine hour session. It is genuinely not about you, however much it feels like it.

    Some of them listen better with their eyes down. I have booked off rooms where I was sure nobody was paying attention.

    Also, sometimes it is just rude and there is no lesson in it. Not every bad room means something.

    Two days is about right for letting it go. Any longer and it starts costing you the next one.
