Rant School renunions, what's your take on them?

[Imgormiel]

Personally, I hated school, I hated most of the wankers in my class, and the year. But that was like 24 years ago, only difference was that I didn't go into the school and then shoot every mofo because of it.

Now some asshole (obviously I didn't like the guy) and his friend decided it would be a good idea to get one of these together for my year. Some people went but some didn't - I was one of the latter. This dood is seriously getting annoying because every time I bump into someone I used to know from school there's always this new school reunion crap event going on in this crap pub etc blah blah blah. I keep getting asked and each time I have to find a new excuse without being rude to the person that asks me.

I wasn't a popular guy at school /care Most of the people I think about then and now either didn't like me or I didn't like them /care But this seriously is getting right up my nose because they ofc go and say 'oh i bumped into x and he said he's not coming because of y' and yet I still keep getting asked to go. It really is annoying me that these people continue to do this but what ever. I aint going...get over it.

My take on it is this, what's best left in the past should stay there, I am quite comfortable not knowing those people any more. In fact it makes me jissum to know those bastards are crying because I am not there /care xD And to anyone that browses these forums that just might know who I am irl, go f... ty xD

Now I've had my rant. What's your take on these events, and do you really think that I should in fact make the effort to go even though I don't want to?

Funny how things in the past can bring such because of memories....

If you don't want to go, don't go. It's as easy as that really.
I for one kinda like it, kinda fun meeting the old gang again but I would never be the guy that actually takes the effort to get it together.

Like I said, I am just annoyed at people where I live that don't understand the word no and then talk about it later because I actually did what I said I was going to do ie not go

Well you say that you have to come up with an excuse.. Don't, just say I'm not interested and maybe they'll stop asking you.

Well the phrase 'no I am not going!' pretty much for me sums it up. I can't help it if people are just too stupid to understand that...

I would love to have a reunion with the guys i went in first grade with, nicest people i ever met. But then parents decided to move, so in grade two there were mostly a bunch of prats. But that were ages ago and i probably never will see them again.

 

[Imgormiel]

Only reunion I'd like is with the punk guys down at the pub I used to go to back in the day I hit 20. Other than that it would be the people I used to go to Uni with in Newcastle that I hung around with, wouldn't mind seeing my ole mate absolbasti tbh

 

[Lamp]

Go, or don't go. Its really not one of life's most difficult decisions.

 

[fettoken]

Hmm, we need to stop reminiscing! Nothing good will come of it.

 

[DocWolfe]

Sounds like you obviously do care that you were a social reject at school. Otherwise you would have gone.

 

[Zenith.UK]

I'd personally avoid school reunions like the plague. The main reason a lot of people go is to show off or do some social willy-waving. I wouldn't want to meet the vast majority of my old school year as I thought they were a bunch of fucktards back then.

It's the same reason I don't have a Facebook, Friends Reunited or other "social network" profile. People find you and message you with "Hi, remember me?". My response would invariably be "Yes I do. I didn't like you back then so what makes you think I'm going to like you now?"

This dood remembers me, I emailed him with a rep like 20 years ago and he actually replied, only kidding, but repped anyway for the honesty.

I seriously think that people should actually look at the bad things more than the good things. Something good has to come out of the bad - that's my philosophy anyway.

I don't do social networking sites either, I have the luxury of seeing how small my penis is in real life that I don't need to exaggerate how much larger it is and how much larger my ego is for any nub to see. Much less get any unwanted message from people I'd like to do something bad to, I get enough junk mail already in my msn account for that crap not to be missed....

Social reject or different? Yes yes we all know its not cool to not do as everyone else does but maybe some people have more important things to do than be a sheep just to fit in?

Anyway. Just say no, that's what I do when these things crop up, most of my core friends are people I went to school with, both primary and upper school, if I want to still speak to someone I will do. These sorts of things are for the cool kids at school who are now sad lonely burger flippers

This dood gets a rep, Doc Wolfe gets a slap with a reality check 4tw. Your perception of social reject seriously needs to get its brain in gear. I was explaining the situation, not asking for a psychiatrists report tbfh.

And if you want a footnote, what goes around comes around Doc, I said I know they are wankers, what more do you want? Raven is right, I have better things to do with my time talking crap with people I don't even and never have liked...

I would not go to a reunion for my school. I was bullied through all my five years there and I know the people have not changed at all as I have seen them about. If I was forced in to a room with them all, Id be liable to flip out and give them some good news just like they did to me.

When you say good news, would that be "I play mybrute too!" ?

 

[Lamp]

could have been passed round the staff room like a box of chocolates and sodomised repeatedly every lunch time

 

[Uara]

I try to avoid anything that involves old school people (well those I wasn't friends with)!! There was a reason why I didn't hang around with them or get involved in what they did, why on earth would I want to do summin which involved them going back into their clicques with the back slapping and dick waving and what not.

My core friends are from both primary and secondary school and I dont need to arrange events to see them. I meet up with them once a week or so for a drink and sometimes to play squash etc with them (sometimes meet up with them more than that)....all through my own choice and i wouldnt be forced into being a social animal just by old school people who were cocks!

I have been to one of these i went for 2 reasons my old IT teacher was there (ass hat gave me a E for GCSE coursework because he thought my computer illiterate parents did the work). And because of the other dicks that i know. But i did cheat i borrowed the flashest company car we had a BMW M5 that was about 4 weeks old and just made out it was a piece of shit company car all night. It worked as well a fair few people were jealous and I left them guessing what my personal car was Ended up just sitting in a corner with the same friends i hung around with in school and had a laugh, then i told my IT teacher he was still a prick and left.

This gets my thumbs up, but personally, my statement says it better for me. Basically it says well, you didn't think I was worth knowing then, and I thought the same about you then and now f... you, kthxbai. The poor liddul bunny ego's awwww

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Don't do School reunions, kept in contact with the people that mattered to me anyhow, may be more interested when i'm in my 60's and we can see where our lives ended up but not before then methinks.

 

[georgie]

Once you leave school, I think you realise that the only thing you had in common with most of the people you went to school with is that you went to the same school as them. Once that's gone, you don't really care any more.

 

[TdC]

what Georgie said tbh. I have, schoolwise, one friend (of 25 years now o0) who I went to primary school with, and two friends who I did photography school with. Other than that, I really don't care.

Oh, I did bump into a girl from my class in secondary school last year and we went out for a beer. good fun indeed, but going to a reunion to see a whole bunch at once? nah, I'll pass.

 

[Laddey]

I'd sooner see my previous teachers and apologise tbh. I was a right cock in school, i'll admit it!

Also i'd like to see how people have turned out, what they look like etc

Guess what dood? I look freaking old, like everyone else when they get there

 

[Huntingtons]

if it cheers you up just remember they are probably only asking you to be polite and are actually relieved that you're not comming to break the good mood.

 

[Overdriven]

Actually happened to me this year, a whole sort of thing was planned. Fell through though, because the twat who organised it forgot last moment that it was the same weekend he was actually going away. Personally I've got no problem with it, my attitude has changed a bit since high-school so I could probably handle it now. I mean, I'm still friends with a few from back then so it's not really a huge thing.

The issue would be that a few people who I'd actually want to see live (now) too far outside of London to make it a viable day visit, meh.

im in the same boat as these 2. no reunion for me

Although before Uni, I was really close with a group of mates from school.
After Uni, I've found I've drifted away from them a lot, don't hardly speak etc. I keep meaning to get back in contact and go out for a few drinks and stuff, but I keep thinking if they wanted to go out with me they would contact me. Kind of a catch 22 I guess!

The thing is, in three years at Uni I formed a stronger relationship with my mates there than I did from 7 years in secondary school with my other mates.

I've actually been realising this recently. Is rather depressing. Ah well, things change; often for the best.
