I've done this enough that it's just become known as my "quirk" because everyone knows that I would rather "chew on a cactus and chase it with pure lemon juice" than make small talk at a work "social hour" for more than, like, 12 minutes. Because I told them so.

So no one seems to mind much.

How many parties do normal people go to for this to be true?

My kid goes to a lot of birthday parties. I could save a lot of time here.

I always sneak out. At least I have a good reason, were up before 4am six days a week.
