When I politely asked if I could join the threesome (4 is optimal), I was truly shocked when they refused to let me play. They were not expecting a friend who was late—they just didn’t want me to play with them and made no excuses.
I have never seen mahjongg players so unwelcoming before. Wow. I was hurt and embarrassed and at a loss for words.
Isn’t inclusion a part of participating in Rec center activities? I know this isn’t a big deal. But a little kindness goes a long way.
Perhaps I’ll find a more friendly group next Monday at Truman.
