I very rarely get invited to hen parties unless the hens are my sisters, in which case I will happily party like a rock star with them while sniffing plastic bowls, if at all possible.
On the whole though, social gatherings (even co-ed ones) with a business-related theme don't typically interest me and I'll decline the invitation.
UNLESS, I think there's a decent chance of a cock-fight breaking out -- then, I'm all in...

Hot D said cock. CockCockCockCock.
Ramsey, that was one of the things I addressed in my OP. Life is much too short to waste time doing something you'd really rather not do. You don't have to accept the invitation. Are you offended when people don't accept yours?

I think when we get older we learn how to say no, then when we get really older we learn how to say HELL NO! Well, if you're a Mocker anyway.

I agree.
Don't tell anyone I agreed with you.

No I am not.
I actually had fun. We had wine. Shelley is a good friend and she got sucked into this party by one of her clients. Shelley is a decorator and she's doing a pretty big job for this client. I went to help Shelley out. She's do the same for me. I really like Shelley's husband Kirk too so I chatted with him a bit. They were friends with my brother for 20 years.

I think asking people in the checkout if they want to donate sucks and will firmly say NO every time but I do push money into a donate jar whenever I see one on any counter.
The people at the checkout counters hate asking you as much as you hate to be asked. The stores expect the checkers to collect a certain amount of money for donations (they have quotas). I guess the idea being if they collect the money and the store can make some nice donation towards prostate cancer research (or whatever) then it's good publicity for the store so therefore, it's part of the checker's job on behalf of the company.
I don't like jars and I really don't like the people who sit out front with a sign and a lock box. Yeah, like you don't have the key in your pocket...Assholes.
I will get enormous disagreement here but FUCK thank you cards. Fuck you if you need me to write you a handwritten letter saying thank you, you greedy little bitch. It was a gift...gifts shouldn't come with strings attached. Strings attached...har, har, I kill me sometimes.

Hey, as long as that's your scene, who the hell am I to say it's wrong. I can only speak for myself. I turn down about 9 out of every 10 invites I get. These days I only care about pleasing myself and sitting around with a bunch of suburban hausfraus isn't pleasing to me. I'd be stifling a yawn the entire time.

I'm invited to a hippie party, but I'm not dressing up like a hippie. I don't do that costume crap. I'm picturing it to be something like this.

I think that could probably be a lot of fun, for sure a lot of laughs.
I had never seen that Jim Carrey clip before, he's a laugh riot.

No, I haven't. There are many movies I've never seen. You'd understand if you knew how difficult it is for me to sit still.

You could at least stop bathing for a week to make yourself seem somewhat authentic.
I would go to a hippy party, but like you, I wouldn't dress up.
