What Terrible Things Happened At Your High School Reunion?

what is the worst thing that has happened at a high-school reunion party that you attended at my ten-year high school reunion we had a decent turnout maybe one hundred plus people we were at a pretty nice hotel banquet hall there was one guy I had known all through high school and he was a well-known stoner I'll call him Chris for this story I see Chris walk into the banquet hall stop in his tracks turn around in a very slow 360-degree circle surveying the entire room he just says whoa and he looks visibly alarmed he stops and his eyes settle on me I say hey Chris long time no see man he kind of slides over to me and whispers in my ear this is really weird I'm pretty sure I know every single person in this room and that is when I realize he is wearing the same clothes as all the banquet hall workers oh my god Chris is working as a server at his own high school reunion and he has no clue what is happening I walk him out to the front lobby and explain it's our 10-year highschool reunion he is mortified beyond embarrassed he was never contacted and didn't even realize it had been 10 years since we graduated he just knew he was working another catering gig and a never-ending series of catering gigs I make him take me to his manager I explained what is happening and tell the manager there is no way the sky is working his own high school reunion awesomely the manager agrees we find a different suit jacket and tie for him and I take Chris back to the party he ended up having a good night that's awesome five-year reunion one guy always kind of a marginal figure in HS lives a nice person after some sort of discussion got his paycheck out and got loud saying now do you think I'm a loser don't believe how much I make check this out of course he just made things worse and everyone was laughing at him I mean he had his paycheck on him haven't seen him since bTW Jesus I mean he could have at least done the more subtle douchebag thing like wear a giant luxury watch or show up in an exotic car at my 10 year reunion the organizers were doing the thing where they give awards for the person who came the farthest to attend the person with the most kids etc the award came up for who had the oldest kid and people started shouting out their kids ages when it quieted down this shy girl near the front said in a normal voice 11 and then we all realized why we had stopped seeing Heather right before graduation the Heather from my graduating class got pregnant in eighth grade none of us believed her it was really awkward when she had her baby during our reunion a social group of cool people that I had cordial relations with during high school but was never part of all met up and were pretty happy about it until it somehow came out over alcohol that all of them had been basically having orgies together during high school except one of them he had always seemed like a core member of the group from the outside not unattractive or anything but for some reason he was just never clued into the fact that all his friends were freaking each other and Maskull basically as long as they knew each other there was some very eye-opening loud screaming this just screams suburban Midwest to me someone who was considered a popular kid at my high school tried to organize our ten-year high school reunion on a cruise ship obviously no one wanted to shell out that kind of money so the reunion never happened when I was in seventh grade this rich snob bully John grabbed off my head a wool scarf my mother had knitted for me he threw the scarf into a pile of muddy leaves and jumped up and down on it when I went home that day my mother was furious when she saw the torn muddy scarf she made me tell her who did it then she called the school principal and yelled at him the next day John got pulled into the principal's office and paddled that was back when they still paddled kids fifty five years later at our 50th class reunion John came up to me and angrily said you got me into trouble in seventh grade I got him in trouble and he's still mad about it fifty-five years later I said John you were a dong in high school and you're still a dong and I walked away fifty five frickin years and he is still mad not mine but my mother went back to her 40-year Union last summer in December she left my father 36 years of marriage for her highschool sweetheart and is now living with him holy crap dude small college reunion with my core group of friends from university this was about five years after graduation we all partied pretty hard in school but mellowed out in our late 20s decided to all meet up for dinner at a local bar restaurant think Applebee's but nicer one guy showed up already wasted with a duffel bag full of multiple packets of weed and the bottle he started on before meeting us he decided we were boring finished his bottle in the restroom and refused to come out he ended up passing out there bartender kicked him out he came alone in an uber and we have no idea where he lived none of us wanted to take him to our places he was angry puking and belligerent so we dropped him off at his last known address his parents house both of them answered the door and we handed him over it was past midnight and incredibly awkward he's not invited to the next reunion at lobby's but nicer Chili's it's been a decade since I finished school I see an old classmate sometimes when he does maintenance work in my apartment block about a year ago he asked if I was going to the reunion organised by some of our classmates I said no because I couldn't think of anything worse and also hadn't been invited apparently they organized it over Facebook which I don't have when I next saw him six months later I asked how the reunion was and he exasperatedly explained that it had been a real crap show the Mean Girls had started planning it together fell out and then started each planning their own so there was about four crappy tiny awkward parties and everyone was confused this sounds like it's shoulder being a TLC show where the judges vote on whose party was the best but the winner gets to go on a date with the former star QB who picks them up on his old motorcycle my 50th is scheduled for October all this is inspiring me to go just to see what happens I hope I can get across the country by then I skipped all the early ones just did my 35th a few months ago once you're as old as we are most of the bulls posturing and status seeking is over and people just want to get drunk and hang out I was not a huge fan of high school and still had a pretty good time the people who were supposed to plan her high school reunion dropped the ball so I figured it wouldn't happen but then this other dude from our high school stepped up to plan it he was in a graduate program and also working part-time at a banquet hall and he said that his boss would give us the banquet hall space for free it was a really nice gesture and he seemed really into it he had been miserable in high school grumpy sullen unpleasant mean to other people he came out in college so maybe the weight of having to keep it a secret was part of why he was so unpleasant maybe he'd be more fun now I was working at crap job and had no savings at a time so I was neither interested in having my former classmates pity me nor was I gunning to shell out a lot of money to attend plus my crappy ex might be there and that didn't feel worth it the organizer made a Facebook event and asked people to venmo him the cost of admission prior to attending he wanted something like $15 20 ahead I can't remember anyway it didn't really feel with paying for maybe if there would be some drinks included or something I would go for an hour I sent him a private message asking what the admissions tick had covered food drinks the space was free after all he posted publicly on the Facebook page that if the cost of admission was too steep message me and we can work out some financial aid but what I then publicly posted asking what the admission cost covered a no response other people asked - he said it would go towards having a bartender and server dedicated to the event space as well as towards food ok fair folks he was the server my friends showed up having not yet paid him and he barred her entry the people who had paid admission cost showed up to an empty banquet hall were given a menu by their former classmate and told to what are their own food and drink from him he pocketed the admission ticket money is his fee after an hour he brought out one one grocery store sheet cake for 75 people to share that was it lol I am envisioning people fighting for the crappy cake so far it was the only thing that happened at my high school reunion tenth reunion graduating class of an eight hundred and fifty well-funded high school every class has a trust fund to fund reunions a good friend of mine was our treasurer and organized it via Facebook we started big ballroom setting for 1,000 figured spouses et Cie a year out lots of interest definitely not one thousand people interest started to scale back six months out less interest lots of people reconnected via Facebook and lost the drive to actually care scaled back more three months out was deadlines for attendance the school's Alumni Association would dispense the funds based on class size and allotment for the milestone we hadn't put a deposit down because the target kept moving on attendance two months out my friend finalizes and as a formal cuts off she had kept taking anything for a month due to lack of interest Dave it's at a local bar not a small bar either good food rented the entire place for a Friday night at that 25-ish alumni showed out of 150 RSVPs with spouses or whatever was around 40 people that was the worst part is knowing so few people actually gave a crap but the best part was the treasurer's smirk the entire night the school had allotted $50 per person for this $50 per person plus guests $15,000 with instructions to pay everything fully we drank and ate our asses off to the point of almost being Roman and the bill was seven thousand five hundred dollars between food and rainfall but she paid the bill then handed everyone $100 from the envelope and then handed the rest of the envelope to the manager and was like as a tip so roughly $3,000 for the waitstaff and crew pretty memorable and honestly not that big of a bummer but holy crap people just don't care sounds like an awesome party not so much at but before 10 year reunion for my logic school 500 graduates per year the plan was for the reunion to take place over Thanksgiving weekend to help pay for the expense raffle tickets were sent out to the entire class to sell the reunion didn't happen it wasn't really bad just odd a guy came with full kiss style makeup on white face black shapes around his eyes and black lips we were too awkward and polite to mention it so everyone just chatted with him as though it was completely normal to turn up like that one guy had made not one but two fortunes and had a net worth of well over $100 million by our 20th reunion high-speed modem patents in the late 1980s early investor in broadband right place at the right time he'd already retired on our classmate update britain he listed his occupation as unemployed and unemployable as a bit of a gag some of the well-meaning but clueless types sought him out to offer encouragement and tips on how to find work didn't happen to me if I had this friend who got someone pregnant back in the day and she kept the kid they've both been great about it he helps financially but that was the extent of his contribution she married soon out of high school and met a great guy who has been the de facto dad either way it's a day bring your kids if you have them event and someone let slip that my friend is that kids real dad and the kid heard it and it was a freaking crap show everyone was trying to figure out who said that and how could someone spill that secret etc in the end my friends pretended he was shocked and laughed it off as a joke which honestly I front of the kid was probably a good move at least the kid has two loving parents that's the most important thing my 10-year reunion killed itself before it happened turns out our class president traditionally in charge of organizing took a hard turn into a Footloose character to high school originally said she took a hard turn for the evangelical to avoid objections lumping this brand of crazy into evangelism for which I apologize highlights of her event planning include no alcohol allowed not even BYOB a few classmates in a reasonably successful band offer to play for free she was adamant there would be no music or dancing plus ones were to be spouses only two guys happily told her they'd bring their husbands and she kicked them both from the Facebook page but the venue was the high school's soccer field in Iowa in August we were welcome to bring our own chairs a few people offered to bring beanbags and Bochy and similar games she said no because it would make the reunion too much like tailgating suggested entertainment was a guided tour of the school which had undergone zero changed since we graduated catering was from hyvee which is a grocery store their food is actually okay but tickets were $60 it was ultimately canceled because out of our class of 300 less than 10 people bought tickets okay frequently asked questions this was Eastern Iowa Cedar Rapids Iowa City region which makes the sudden Footloose morals all the weirder it's a pretty liberal area I cast no judgment on hyvee catering put down the pitchforks their food is good just not sixty dollars worth of good I sadly couldn't come up with the name of the band short of messaging dudes I haven't talked to in 20 years looks like they haven't been active in quite a while a bunch of people who stayed local did indeed pick a bar and a Saturday night to meet up and had much amoral debauchery rumor has it there was even karaoke it makes a good story but I'm ultimately sad for our event planner I got the impression that she really needed everyone to see that she was the most good person who was doing everything right and that she hadn't been in control of something in a long long time I hope she's doing better now yeah that's a good lesson in who had authority you can just instead talk to everyone else and agree to meet separately my therapist encouraged me to go to my ten-year which in retrospect was probably a play for job security ah haha therapists really do be shooting in the dark sometimes we had a teacher in high school that told us by the time you reach your 10-year reunion at least one of your classmates will have died during a discussion about mortality ten-year reunion arrives and nobody from our class has died Saturday night of the reunion were partying and having a good old time one of the organizers gets up to the microphone and is making some announcements she gets a blank look on her face and drops to the floor brain aneurysm she was dead before she hit the floor do not pee off that teacher she's a witch at my 20-year reunion two decades after high school two guys got arrested for fist fighting on the sidewalk outside the bar we went to Friday night why were they fighting one of the guys slept with the other guys girlfriend in high school and drunkenly brought up the 20 years ago fling neither of them married her or even dated her after high school those idiots got charges 20 years later for her though these kind of stories really make me paranoid about if any of my high school girlfriends cheated on me until I realize I've never had a girlfriend guess I win I didn't go to my ten year but my entire friend group did and they all called me asking where I was while on the phone with one of them he goes oh crap Brittany is here Brittany was a train wreck in high school and apparently hadn't changed in 10 years she proceeded to get trashed get in a fight with a waitress and did them in the bathroom police picked her up that night after she was found her passed out in the McDonald's bathroom we'd been there less than an hour having a great time reconnecting suddenly an old friend approached and said is that your wife over there she's pretty hammered and as we watched she tripped and fell face-first full-body crash onto a 12 top table where many of my old classmates were sitting the table broke food and drinks flew everywhere I walked over scooped her up and half carried half walked her out the door she took xanax before going on nones to me and was an alcoholic who started slamming drinks as soon as she got there so good times I don't know whether to laugh or ask if she's okay my class never got to the reunion part our class president was MIA when they tried to plan our five-year reunion on Facebook it devolved into people fighting over the venue and whether or not kids were allowed half the people wanted to get trashed and get away from their kids if they had any the other half wanted a dry reunion in a local park with kids allowed our class also had no money because they spent it on stupid crap senior year so people argued over whether it would be catered or a potluck and how much they would collect from everyone if it was the former this was a fund for senior trip prom etc I don't remember where the money came from just know it ran out I would not have gone even if they'd managed to figure something out someone I knew from school tried to arrange an unofficial reunion as the school weren't going to do one he was socially inept so would say and do odd things which people picked up on a lot but his heart was always in the right place he went to a lot of effort but very few people responded at all those that did mostly made snide comments about the event behind their back like dissing the location etc some made fun of him personally too as he was doing some admittedly odd odd organizing then close to the event he cancels and blows up sending everyone else justified message about how they can all go suck eggs and he was just trying to do something nice and wanted to catch up with people that was received with more snide remarks - he died unexpectedly just a few months later he died from a heart attack he was a very large person which seems to have contributed I'm not sure if many people from the Reunion know or not I found out on FB as he was a friend on there this was a 15 year reunion so 30 stroke 31 year olds UK I'm from the UK so maybe our reunions here are different to us most of the people who didn't reply seem to be the more decent people and coincidentally the ones who have moved away or just moved on in their lives those who did were mostly the ones who still spent every week at the same bars with their same school friends when a canceled veil will actually went out the same night for drinks but didn't invite the organizer not example organizing was explaining the color theme of the space to everyone so they could make sure they color-coordinated their outfits no one came I went to my 10-year it was admittedly a really freaking small town so my class was only 27 people but only four people showed up and one was actually home-schooled it kinda sucked I was looking forward to seeing people and traveled from a long way away 3,000 miles it kind of jaded me towards my classmates I'm not angry or anything just a realization that there really wasn't any connection that survived to me that strong feeling that there is no connection is the main reason to attend one traveling that far hurts though at the after party the one guy getting drunk enough to think it was a great time place to discuss race relations with one of our black classmates well not so much discuss as randomly imposed the topic the cringe nearly killed us all the class officers did a five-year reunion on Thanksgiving weekend at a local bar they only invited who they had likes 3040 people one of the people they didn't invite had become a police officer who talked his supervisor into running a DUI checkpoint almost half the people who went ended up going to jail that night two of the organizers ended up with drug charges as well as tweeze the ten year started off better but still ended up being a cluster Frank they decided to go with a picnic the same place we had our senior picnic one of the class officers had started a catering company and gave themselves the job about one stroke three of the people ended up with food poisoning thankfully covered caused our 20 year to be canceled comma almost half the people who went ended up going to jail that night two of the organizers ended up with drug charges as well as tweeze TBF even though the guy was a petty narc you have to hit a decent limit for a DUI no doubt as people shouldn't have been driving which is why they got the arrested didn't attend as I had moved far from my school but in the process I emailing the organizer and wanted to get in touch with an old friend figured she could pass my message on she had the misfortune of having to tell me he passed away of 30 from diabetes complications rough day and I didn't even attend aaww I'm sorry for your loss dang went to my partner's 5-year at the local Elks Lodge he grew up in a really rich town so it was super extravagant best part was the open bar until like 9:00 p.m. and then cash afterwards we were all having a great time until some scumbag snuck into the basement and stole a bunch of booze literally multiple boxes when the bartender's found out at 8:30 they were furious and kicked us all out ruined what would have been an excellent night if it was open bar the booze was free hence no crime was committed Your Honor I call for a dismissal 10-year reunion invite came up and I thought yeah looks like it could be fun I notice a venue is fancy restaurant disappointed expecting some sort of party room is very limited for a class of over 100 you would think they would have picked a venue with over 25 capacity I start reaching out to all the friends I've kept in touch with not one of them is even remotely interested in going my old high school best friend suggests we catch up at his and drink instead haven't seen him in years so I bail on the reunion turns out almost no one went one of the girls that organized the thing was begging my mate ago because she was so embarrassed how little people had RSVP'd II she ended up bailing herself turns out for the 10 people that actually went half of which organized it they had to be split up since they booked a place that was not intended for large groups of people unironically the same group that organized it took it upon themselves to organize our end off school formal Ozzie for prom they decided for themselves that we didn't want to go with the original plan and completely replied it without really consulting the general student body so many people bailed on it that they had to start inviting ex students dropped out changed schools expelled takes some real crap to get expelled from a Catholic school in austere just to meet the minimum capacity the venue required to move forward with the date honestly I know they meant we're poor but this group ruined the formal for a lot of people I don't know why I expected anything good from their reunion apparently the after-party was wild though someone almost got thrown off the boat literally into the water at 2:00 in the morning and a guy we know copped a dong in the eye to answer a few questions a lot of you have asked he woke up the next day and sat up without opening his eyes he had been sleeping on the floor and someone was standing over him with his dong out why was it hard I don't know I don't want to know lol the after-party was of the formal and the after-after-party is called the cocoons I'm sure the restaurant could have catered to ten people I assume some rocked up unannounced if you get expelled from a Catholic school at least in Australia you can not attend any other Catholic school my school at least were hesitant to expel as a result they had told us this but I can't remember if it was because they wanted to keep kids in Catholic schools or if it was because we were preparing for the HSE ozzie version of finals less than 24 hours after the main question was posted my best mate found this on one of those YouTube Microsoft Sam videos what the actual frake mu - this is Opia hack or did he get just get sniped good old Aussie after parties there's always that one dude who either whips his dong out or gets butt naked always not mine but my husband's 10 year anniversary for high school graduates the whole thing was really just sloppily slapped together and it was pretty clear the class was not interested in getting together The Gathering Place kept changing every couple weeks this was updated via Facebook group bTW at first it was renting a place and getting food catered and whatnot except it's pretty typical in my town for most people not to go on to be successful by any means so asking mostly unemployed or minimum wage workers to cough up I think $200 to attend just didn't work out venues kept downgrading to accommodate until they got down having a bonfire out by the lake BYOB no fee just come hang out for like an hour or something throughout the fiasco of finding a venue a majority of the class declined going some had to change status there was a good handful still marked as going but with everything changing and people obviously starting to tune out midway through a lot of people forgot to change their status off going to not going to people showed up that was it one was my brother who had nothing better to do anyway other guy that sort of helped put the crap shall together showed up the gal that set the whole thing up was pretty mad about it and the rondo dude that helped post in a long rant on the Facebook about how awful people were and how they should have appreciated the efforts it took just to hold the pathetic gathering my husband had me sit and flip through the page after everything was said and done it was pretty obvious the gang was in serious denial the entire time despite it being pretty clear nobody wanted anything to do with the event I laughed at the rant then honestly forgot about it until I saw this thread I failed to mention my brother and husband were in the same year they were but is throughout high school college and even now I'm just a little younger hence why I was not part of the reunion and my brother was and no husband refused to go to the reunion because clicking through facebook profiles was enough to check on people he had any curiosity about plus we had just moved States right around this time so traveling was not on our list tough to do anytime soon sounds exactly like my 10-year reunion about 10-12 people ended up showing up I didn't go but saw the pictures on Facebook and the girl who organized it posted a long rant on the Facebook event page I found the whole thing quite amusing as I've always disliked this particular girl and she was a huge B to me in high school my sister my now husband and I were all in the same graduating class plus my husband's best friend best friend's name is something like John Smith very common he was very popular in HS super nice guy stood out in a crowd if you didn't know him you certainly knew of him even in a massive school so anyway the 20-year reunion rolls around my sister is the only one who wanted to go she called right after very upset apparently there was a huge memorial wall for John Smith who had just died none of us knew awful my husband was like huh but we just saw him called him up and was like hey dude are you dead number not dead surprised but not dead anyway had turned out the much less popular other John Smith was the one who died they made a lovely memorial for the wrong guy who was forgotten totally we still run into people to this day and see him and are like hey aren't you supposed to be dead this is actually horribly sad for the guy that actually died still freaking hysterical no the high school I went to had a really big gang problem a great many people didn't attend you to being in prison some of those who were in gangs in high school had worked their way through the ranks one in particular was pretty high up he decided to show up it was generally peaceful until somebody decided to stick him with a knife then all heck broke loose the dude that got shanked was a colossal bust to me through all not high school and now he's bleeding profusely from multiple stab wounds being an off-duty medic I did what I do half expecting him to bleed out on the gym floor he didn't remember me there wasn't that bluesy moment between us I doubt he even recognized me I just kept plugging holes and thinking I shouldn't have worn my nice shoes cops and Dems arrived few people got arrested he survived I ended up tossing my favorite dressed shoes and a really nice pair of pants because they were too blood-soaked to rescue some girl confessed to cheating on her high school sweetheart thinking enough time had passed it wouldn't bother him she thought wrong I just realized I spelled school school census was so well received I'll add some details here so that they're all in one place the reunion was ten years later the two of them hadn't seen each other in years as far as I know they broke up shortly after high school ended after she broke the news somewhat nonchalantly as well the guy flipped out and slapped her then started screaming at her she ran away at which point he broke down and said something about wasting his high school years and left we still managed to have a good time even after all that though which was nice and all you comedians misspellings school and saying Bob isn't cool insert appropriately severe threat here not me but inform a friend of mine my wife and I went to her highschool reunion at a brewery back in Michigan the former friend of mine showed up after a bit that friend happened to be in the same graduating class as my wife I didn't attend the same school anyway she gets there and I asked how she has been her response really bad she precedes to tell me that her and her boyfriend split up she has a crap low-paying job and so on also it doesn't help that she really doesn't get along with most of her old classmates that attended the night goes on and everyone is catching up and having a good time my former friend says goodbye and goes out of the parking lot to her car she comes back in saying someone ran over her car everyone assumed she meant someone hit her car you know like dented the bumper or something nope someone with a truck or sub literally ran over her car drove on top of it and took off god that's horrible for her high school jock violated a girl while she was passed out in a bathroom in high school ten years later he took her to the side of the reunion to tell her to stop telling people he violated her holy crap what the actual frake not high school but one time I got invited to my colleges alumni event this was only a few years after I graduated and I liked and I thought my teachers to go just to see them anyway we pull into the college and they have like ten bouncy castles set up for the event I'm still confused
