Whenever someone hosts a function and says that anyone is welcome, "the more the merrier", I ask myself, "Is that really the case". Not at all.
There is always one sod who doesn't quite gel with the group, a person who isn't familiar with the dynamic. In crowds exceeding 8 people, "the more the merrier" will inevitably prove to be a load of nonsense. That "bad seed" will annoy. How much? Well, best case that person is quiet and alienated. Worst case, "the elephant in the room" is a colossal beast with a loud mouth spewing inappropriate and misguided filth.
Let it be known, travelling exacerbates the qualities of the "bad seed.
Cash Truth #2 - "the more the merrier" is rubbish, all the time, until the end of time.

There once was a man named Cash,
who had loads of green in his stash.
He bought himself land,
with some change in his hand,
oh the betties, how did they dash!
Cash I concur: There is always that someone who people feel obliged to have a 5 min chat with and then try avoid them for the rest of the time even though they are as noticable as an elephant sitting next to you on the couch.
ReplyDeleteWith christmas lunches for instance, my family members feel it is the kind and polite thing to invite friends who have no Christmas lunch plans. This is sweet and all but what about the people who actually have to entertain the rest of their parties such as the Emo rebel 17-year-old son? Wow! I guess I am the Grinch of 2009 but I will just sip on some champers and try be merry! Cheers! (Always make eye contact to avoid bad sex...no-one wants that ;))
