makes you
uncomfortable, turn your attention elsewhere. Tactless, inconsiderate or rude
behavior can sometimes result in the perpetrator being unceremoniously
“uninvited” to future events.
Do order something off the menu if the munch is held in a restaurant. This is
actually far more important than many people think. After all, you’re meeting in
a
business establishment, the owners of which have a right to expect to get
something in return for allowing your group to monopolize a large number of
tables for what sometimes can turn into an extended period of time. Most
restaurant owners and management have a word for individuals who sit in their
restaurant for hours without ordering at least a beverage, and that word is:
unwelcome. If it happens more than a few times with a certain group, it’s usually
only a matter of time before the entire group becomes unwelcome in the
establishment. If you’re flat broke and can’t
afford to purchase a meal, consider politely asking someone in the group to buy
you a beverage.
Things You Shouldn’t Do
Don’t arrive drunk, or plan on getting that way. If you feel the need to have a
few shots of “liquid courage” before attending an event like this, don’t bother. If
you think being buzzed makes you more interesting to people, you’re probably
mistaken. If the
restaurant hosting the munch serves alcohol, having a drink or two with the
group is usually perfectly acceptable, though you may want to check with a
group leader first. If you do drink, don’t overdo it. Getting drunk
at a party can be fun and entertaining. Getting drunk at a public vanilla
gathering of fetishistas can turn out to be embarrassing for everyone involved
and potentially dangerous to people’s relationships and careers.
