To think not doing karaoke and dancing doesn't necessarily make you a "boring bastard?"

Grrr.

It's my work do tonight. I LOVE a good night out chatting, laughing and drinking but I'm just not a dancer or singer. The thought of awkwardly shuffling around on a dance floor or hearing my own voice bellowing out a mic fills me with dread. I love seeing other people singing and dancing but it's just not something I do.

Woman at work overheard me saying this to another colleague and said I'm "not allowed to be a boring bastard" and she's going to drag me up whether I like it or not. I'm actually really pissed off as I know she will try and I'll have to refuse to the point of it being really awkward. Why don't people understand that not everybody likes this kind of thing????

I would politely decline the invitation to dance / karaoke / publicly humiliate myself twice, but if the person persisted after two courteous refusals, I'm afraid I would probably explode.

99.9% of the time I am a very nice person, but for the other 0.1%, I'm really not someone you want to fuck about with.....

People who do karaoke and drag people onto the dance floor = without exception are the most boring people you will ever meet. Also describe themselves as 'a bit mad, me!'
