Had a surprise party once and it was maybe the worst night of my life. Felt so guilty that I hated it so much.

Happened to me last week at Pie & Ale in Manchester. There was no pie and I don’t like Ale. Named and shamed.

the big meats in busy places make me a bit anxious I suppose. usually because I’m worried that I’ll accidentally ignore someone.

optimal size for meats is 6 or under members, IMO.

the anxiety for me comes from the fact that I know its going to happen, so sometimes avoid the situation.

Sometimes when I’m in the passenger seat of the car I have a compulsion to open the door and jump out. Very tense when that happens
