A couple of ideas.  She has a psychological thing she's not admitting to.  Perhaps she thinks she can smell her own sweat or something and opts to cover what she *thinks* is an offensive odor.

Maybe she eats a lot of raw veggies and farts a lot.

Maybe she s just a contrarian and wants to do what she wants in spite of someone complaining about it.

I'm betting it's the psych thing.

Well, she forgets a lot of things.  She'll do something or not do something and our boss will say something and she acts like it's brand new information.

I imagine it's psychological, because I think she has some other mental issues, based on how she acts sometimes.  It's just weird to walk in and see something spraying themselves with lysol.

I'm also aware that I probably have a bad tone when I talk about her.  She makes my life difficult, and 40 hours of that every week can wear on you.  But I'm trying to develop a more "whatever" attitude.

I just got back from Portland, so I'm here. At home.

I knew your whereabouts, and Patch's.  I hope we haven't been abandoned.

Safe travels. I drove straight thru to Alabama worked today then drove a couple hours to Tuscaloosa
Heading out in the morning for a 6 hour drive to work in Shreveport. Then 4 hours home. Breaking the new truck in right.

So you have to pay enough to cover the number of attendees that are lacking? If you're paying for extra slots, why not find some random strangers to invite on the tour?

She only wants women she knows to be involved in her bach. party.  Plus, how do you tell someone "please come pay $13 for a wine tour, but then leave right after because you aren't invited to the rest of the party, we just don't want to pay any more money."

Just seems weird to pay for extra people if there's not any extra people. Maybe you could get some mannequins to fill in the empty numbers.

rkwsuperstar wrote:The bride is not reasonable, by the way.  Her first request for the bach. party was for all of us to get a room at the Gaylord Texan.  It's almost $400/night.  She said "but all 9 of us can stay in one room."  Uh, no, the Gaylord isn't the Motel 6, they don't let you just pile a bunch of people into the room.  Plus, why stay at a fancy place like that if you are going to have to sleep on the floor and share the bathroom with 8 other people?

That sucks, but I'm guessing the bride thinks it's reasonable for everyone to accept that it's what she wants. Every other decisions is based on her so why not this one.
When you take the plunge, you can get revenge by making them all join you at Comic con for Stephen Amell pictures.
