Not only can you guarantee that every bar will be packed, but you can also be sure that you will see that random kid from high school, who barely said 2 words to you back then, but suddenly is very talkative now and is even so bold as to vainly suggest you meet up again, one-on-one, for a drink some time. “It’s been forever!” he says. Really? Forever? What about that time you made fun of me with your friend for getting an A on a test? Or that time you borrowed my pencil and never gave it back? Now you want to get together??
