Different Concepts of Help

A quick blip from a visit in town. After shopping for my mother in the morning and working in the afternoon, I needed to go to a meeting this evening.
It turned needlessly stressful, when two of the participants (who live next door to each other) started shouting at their respective neighbour about some issue about a parking space in their courtyard, that had nothing to do with our actual agenda.

The guy who headed the meeting clearly didn't know what to do about it, and consequently did nothing.

Some others (including me) tried to calm the two neighbours down, or change the subject, but they simply ignored us.

It took them about half an hour before they finally ran out of steam and allowed us to  continue with the agenda.  

I am very glad to be back home by now!
