22. I don't like work parties
Invariably, I end up going to DH's, at which we're expected to make small talk all night, and be dressed up while we do it. We just went to a hotel with a bunch of his co-workers recently for a training seminar weekend. We got stuck at a table with two of the more annoying people I think I've ever met.

I like holiday parties with friends.
