I would like to talk now about surprise parties. charlie (not his real name) is getting married this weekend. they are throwing him a surprise party

Posted by amanda Jul 31 '12, 17:25

at work tomorrow.

charlie *hates* attention on himself, and would die of embarrassment if he were unprepared for said surprise, but he might actually beg off sick if he's told.

I would hate to be him and be blindsided, but man, I fucking love cake and I'm a little skinny this week so could in theory eat two or nine pieces. there will be no cake if charlie begs off sick.

I have a great relationship with charlie. I don't want to fuck that up by not warning him.

I tell, right?

Responses:

Warn him, and tell him if he egs off he owes you cake. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 31, 18:21
LOL @ 9 pieces - will they get a good cake - because if it's a crap cake - well *shrugs* I'd tell. -- nm - JenBro Jul 31, 18:11
He doesn't like attention and he's getting married? In front of people? - Max Jul 31, 18:05
tell and threaten death if he denies you cake. if the relationship is that good he wouldn't deny you cake. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 17:56 2
- And you wait until an hour before hand. They did not trust you. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 17:58
- (your needs, amanda. *your* needs.) -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 17:58
do not call, tweet, email, etc. instead mail him a letter. then you are covered all around. :) -- nm - peglegpete Jul 31, 17:36
sorry, charlie -- nm - the human tater tot Jul 31, 17:36 1
- Thats OUR line! -- nm - Starkist Jul 31, 17:37
The several times I got wind of a surprise party for me I foiled it and made it get cancelled. I agree with that guy. Call in sick dude! - Bacon Jul 31, 17:35 4
- Telling him can be your birthday gift to him. -- nm - Bacon Jul 31, 17:35 3
  - That said though? I think it's too late to tell him. Everyone has prepared and if he ditches your name will be mud. - Bacon Jul 31, 17:37 2
    - or you do the sneaky thing. Let it slip out and say, oh shit. You weren't supposed to know. I feel horrible -- nm - Bacon Jul 31, 17:38 1
      - That is even worse, though. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 17:48
I vote tell. Because even if the party is well intentioned, if it's going to make him stressed, it's not a nice thing to force on him. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 17:34 4
- and he will know I knew, which destroys the carlos/mandy bifecta.) -- nm - amanda Jul 31, 17:39 3
  - Bros before HoHos, mandy. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 17:50 1
    - L3 -- nm - JenBro Jul 31, 18:13
  - I read that last word as bitcha. Not sure how I got that out of Bifecta -- nm - Bacon Jul 31, 17:41
Obey the Cake. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 17:34
You can't tell him, but you can create a deversion at the party so he can leave early. -- nm - the liioulu with camera Jul 31, 17:33
you can't. -- nm - Andie Jul 31, 17:32
No. You must think only of cake. - CovingtonCat Jul 31, 17:31 4
- Especially considering the pathetic candy state she works in. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 17:34 3
  - Candy Austerity is a failed experiment -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 17:35 2
    - The candy center can not hold. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 17:37 1
      - this is hysterical. (I could take some home candy to work, but would the world explode? I think maybe.) -- nm - amanda Jul 31, 17:40
No tell. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 31, 17:31
Tell him but make him promise to go before you tell - Epiphany Jul 31, 17:28
Nope. Bite your lip and many pieces of cake. -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 17:27
