Thats five hours of my life I'll never get back

Wife's sister decides to have a "family" BBQ for her and my wife's dad's 60th.

When we got there she had also invited a bunch of her friends who we didn't know, but her dad did, so basically we were surrounded by a bunch of people we didn't know who weren't interested in talking to us, and the only people we did know where talking to them.

Plus I don't even like BBQs.

Hey what could be better than food that's burnt to the point of cremation on the outside, but yet still uncooked on the inside, with the added bonus of flies and wasps.

My nephew's First Communion followed by pizza, wings, beer and cake at a local bar/restaurant.:D
 
I bet you were a bundle of laughs to talk to.

Well since noone bothered to find out we'll never know.
 
Someone needs to show your family how to BBQ, AFTER YOU PUNCH THEM.
 
If Seph were here he'd be telling you to "get involved!!" "cunt!".

But um, I guess I know how you feel. It's awkward when everyone at a party knows eachother, but you only know one or two people. But I would've thought it'd be a lot easier with your wife alongside. Couldn't she have got her sister to introduce the two of you to some people?
 
Some people do not know how to behave in social situations.
 
Some people just do not know how to be graciuos, how to ask questions about another person or include them-or answer questions even. Some people are so wrapped up in themselves or thier little worlds or insecurities or they just don't care or are stuck up.
 
I was recently at a dinner party for someone's birthday. The person I was sitting next to was texting with the person sitting next to them, the person across from me is enamoured with the person next to him, she is enjoying the attention and can't focus on anything else, the person I really want to talk to is sitting at the other end of the table, I finally moved and had a nice conversation with 3 people.
Oh and the person originally sitting across from me had to go outside to tell secrets, or into the restroom.
These are adults I am talking about. Not my usual gamer friends who I expect to be tweeting and texting and not be able to handle real live social situations.
ADULTS!

Indeed.

*flashes back to his brother's wedding when he dancing crazy and wearing his tie on his head while sober*
 
I dislike large social events.

I went to a thing at a friends where half of the people were either family of my friends now husband or friends of said soon to be husband.

Thank god one of the people there was a trekie and so her and I got to discuss Star Trek.
 
Honestly any more then a few people is typically not my thing.
 
I know what you mean, four is a good number for a night out with friends, just enough so you can all get round one table and still hear what everyone is saying even in a noisy pub.
 
I don't mind big crowds as long as we're all singing and mostly gay.
 
I don't mind big crowds as long as I'm with a relative, friends, or meet someone I know while at the event by myself.
 
I tend to like one on one.

3's are ok as well.
 
I don't like human contact of any kind.
 
I like big crowds but only if some of them are NAKED.
 
Like AUSCHWITZ? :shock:
