I hate parties where you don't know anyone

[ThePresence]

And I hate when people invite you to parties where they know that you won't know anyone.

A friend's wife just called to invite me to a party Saturday night. I know this guy and his wife pretty well, but we're not from the same crowd at all. I don't know their friends, I'd feel like a jackass the whole time. I cited prior engagements, which is complete BS.

 

[FoBoT]

that is true
just stay home and nef

if i wanted to meet new people, i would be in sales or retail or something

Oh please.
I do plenty of socializing.
Just not at someone's house at a party where I don't know anyone and they all know each other. I'd be on the outside looking in.
It's not like I'm anti-social, but this is just too... awkward I guess.

I know what you mean. Don't listen to the others. I'd agree if it was a place where not many people knew each other, but when everybody knows everyone but you it really sucks. I wouldn't go either.

Yeah, I hear that "awkward" feeling causes impotence, scabies and, occasional death.

:thumbsup: and we all know that feeling awkward = good times. That's the main reason why I'd go to a party, to feel awkward!

These are teh best! I usually tell people I'm in a pornstar. I even have a fake card with my name on it.

PS. Fastest way to getting ass btw.

Too bad you can't have a "Groundhog Day" moment and find out what some girls High School English teacher was and make up a story that you remember her from that class etc.

Hmm... That might actually work, assuming that your friends are in on the cover story and back it up. I wouldn't use "porn star", though... it might scare off people who might think that you have STD's or whatnot. Maybe "NASCAR team owner" or "NFL Quarterback" would work better

Fixed. That's the best part. You'll probably never see these people again so let your hair down and act like a jackass and embarrass the friend that invited you. You'll never get another invitation.

Pornstars are tested regularly and choose the people they "work" with. They are also tested regularly.

Parties where everyone else knows each other and you know none of them really do suck. It's not AS bad if you have a wife/GF to bring with you, but still sucks.

Who has a party on December 30th anyway?

I love these types of parties. I walk in and go into "Chevy Chase mode" - the rest is magic...

Wow.
I haven't see you on these forums in years.

 

[Aharami]

i know what u mean. its ok if there were others who didnt know other people also...but if you're the only one who doesnt know anyone else but everyone else knows everyone else, then you're like the odd man out. if they talk to you, you feel like they're doing it out of pity since they'd rather have a meaningful convo with someone they know as opposed to small talk with you. but if there are bunch who doesnt know others then small talk is actually fitting....

Think of it as a great chance to walk around all night with your fly purposely open. Not all the way, mind you, just half way. Then, if anyone kindly pulls you aside to mention it, loudly and repeatedly accuse them of coming on to you, no matter which sex they are. As a non-sequiter, mention aliens.

you should go. sometimes i feel like i'm missing out on new friends by living in one place, and hanging around the same people.

and when all else fails, just keep drinking.

Wear Spandex with the letters "TP" embroidered on the front, with a matching cape. Make weird noises and shout "The TP man has arrived! The TP man has arrived!"
