Sometimes I wonder if the Brits ever touch each other? I think they have to be plastered to muster up the courage for physical contact. I’d almost want to suggest trading shoulder massages at a works do just for the absolutely horrified reactions. Also feel like an HR person would pop up immediately, almost like Clippy, to explain why that is inappropriate.

Something tells me that a SF party with a contingent of burners is both figuratively and literally on a completely different hemisphere from a British after work party 🤣
tea and biscuits, while high on laughing gas, nostr:npub1jcjxjg92200kdp8guw8sysg8gr0ez29hahrfdy49h30hgnkpa4kqfvmtwx how wrong am i?
😂🤣😂 no laughing gas but we do have roast dinners - no joke, my friends parents were giving everyone alcohol and making roast dinner while people were having sex and smoking etc. etc. was strange to me but they found it normal 🥹
The parents found it normal? 🫣
Yeahh I figured they preferred him to party at their house than anywhere else so they didn’t mind it but it was rather odd to me 🥹
I think you’re right
Yeahhh we aren’t that cool I’m afraid 🥹😭 I’ve been to two British house parties and I think I’ve seen enough 😂🤣🙏🏽
I’m gonna need you to elaborate on those two house parties?
Is that where trannies dress up in showers pretending to look good while needing a kidney to beat hepatitis as a severe alcoholic?
Although not even remotely related?!
Deviance trying, but not easy enough and putting their wombs and other organs at risk.
Seen the logs, right?
First one was a Halloween bonfire night party. It was November and I felt cold and out of place 🥹 was 17 and his parents (one was a retired police officer) made me drink a glass of wine which made me tipsy but then I recovered cos had water the rest of the night. But it also meant I was freezing cos all the doors and windows were open and nobody else felt the cold because they were all pissed.
Then I go in the kitchen for water and find his parents making roast dinner as if it’s a normal Saturday night and my friend just eating with his parents like there weren’t people having sex in his downstairs toilet and doing drugs in the garden. It was bizarre. A guy started talking to me about how Disney was evil and he smelled like beer.
Then someone tried to get me to smoke ( I almost did it to be polite 🙈) but then the guy whos party it was stopped her, and I very much appreciated him stepping in. Actually developed a crush on him after that 😅 when I went to school the next week I found him and gave him a kiss on the cheek to thank him (made him close his eyes before I did it cos I’d never done that before).
I was wearing a little black dress at the party and a witch hat that I had worked really hard on and some guy kept stealing it 🥹. I never went back to the house for it though.
Then his friend kept asking for my spot on the sofa and getting me to sit on his lap (I sat on the edge of his knees so nothing sus) and he kept asking me to kiss him but I wouldn’t and I explained that I hadn’t kissed anyone yet and I was waiting for the right guy and he would nod like he understood then ask again 🙈 🥹he was very drunk, he told his friends that he loved me 🤦🏽♀️.
Then he got me to slow dance with him and I remember thinking he reminded me of a Disney villain.
My friend fancied him and I felt bad cos I didn’t want him near me, but had 0 backbone to say no. She didn’t seem upset though which is good.
About 5 years later he becomes a somewhat famous British rapper and then a few years after that he got cancelled cos he was mistreating his girlfriend… he was rather pushy but goodness knows 🤷🏽♀️
The next Halloween house party was when I was 25 I think and it was lovely. Met wonderful people, had interesting conversations and it was warm 😍 no one pushed drugs or alcohol on me. The only strange thing was on the way there - cos I was dressed as an angel and my friend was the devil, drunk people kept confessing their sins to me asking for forgiveness 🥹
Glad I went to both though, was an experience haha
Yeahhh if you don’t know someone really well, you wouldn’t touch them, it’s just not done. And if you do, it’s seen as very forward and the person would have to really like you to let you get away with it 😭.
If you tried to massage someone at a house party it means you most likely want to have sex with them. If you accept, it means you most likely want to have sex with them. It’s not seen as just a friendly gesture here 😂 in public too it’s like telling everyone you want to sleep with the person 😳 the thought making me blush 🙈🙏🏽.
If I did that at my work party they would think I was initiating an orgy 😂🤣😂🤣. Would definitely stick to doing it with girlfriends that know me really well ☺️🥹🙏🏽
Yeah they would be horrified. I remember I told my manager I thought Santa was real and she just brushed right past it after a worried look 😂🤣😂 she’s wonderful 🥹💜. Haha I remember that paperclip! Yepp HR would be sending me awkward emails the next day 😌
