Why I don't like surprise parties

[charliesmum]

We were having a party at work for the Big Boss who is getting married soon, but he never showed up. If he knew there was a party for him, he may have made an effort, but it's hard to be upset with someone if they don't know.

Meanwhile, we just had tons of food and wine, even. Hurrah.

I like my company.

Mmmm...sounds like a great party! I'm so happy that things are picking up for you lately.

The "Big Boss"! Heh... Heard that one somewhere before.

I'm the sort of person who, if I knew, wouldn't show up. I hate being the focus of surprise parties. They always happen on days when I've been jumped by a mud-puddle, or something.

That's precisely why I don't like surprise parties. What if I'm not in a party mood, or not dressed for it or what? (and I do wonder if he suspected something, and that's why he didn't come!)

My friend tried to have a surprise party for my 18th birthday and I got stuck at work late and by the time I got to the party half the guests had to leave.
