My class now has one every year!!! I didn’t like most of them when I was in school & I have absolutely NO desire to reconnect with them now!!! The few that I enjoyed, I have kept in touch with over the years & we don’t “need” permission to get together & have fun!!!
@Nomore_Tantrums With the Internet, it’s NOT that difficult to find anyone no matter how good they think they are hiding!!! Plus, a friend who means well will rat you out in a hurry…especially IF they enjoy them as they can’t think of one reason you wouldn’t want to go & it gets them brownie points with old classmates making them feel important!!!
It took me about 10 years of not going before they finally quit sending me an invitation. I recently ran into a guy who said he graduated with me & he was very pushy about getting my address. I’m pretty sure that he planned on passing it on to the committee. They already have it, so I told him that unless he was planning on moving in, that he was denied that info because it was “need to know” basis ONLY. He dropped it.
The town I live in is so small that I already know who married whom & who got the most prestigious jobs, plus how many kids & grand kids they have, so I find NO reason to go & pretend that I care what they’ve accomplished!!!
