My 10 year reunion was last night and there was a little incident. Advice!

[Renew Deal]

So my 10 year reunion was last night. It went really well. It seems like everyone that showed up moved to NYC from LI where we grew up, got married and some are having kids. Somehow everyone there is a successful world traveler or mom. It was a nice little event overall and it was great to see some old faces. Some of us have been in school together since kindergarten and now we are all 28. That's about 22 years. Anyway, I went to the after-party which was at some lesbian bar. One of the girls (it turns out) was into chicks and she knew which bar to go to. That was fun too. There was music and thankfully not that many people. Here's the incident.

At the very end of the night, as I'm leaving, I am speaking with one of my classmates. She is very nice, though we didn't talk much in HS or since. I have a cold. I accidentally coughed while talking with her without covering up. I couldn't control it. I think there may have been a projectile, but I don't know. As I'm walking away, I think I heard her shriek "Harry (that's me) just coughed on me." My friend says that I never heard it, but I think I did. It really was an accident. I have her address and am thinking about sending a letter and apologizing. What do the wise DU masses think? Thanks

1. Meh,

Apologize at the 20 year reunion.

2. You know those opportunities to do something RIGHT THEN?

I think that was one of those opportunities. Anything else would just be weird.

5. Very well put

Saying "I'm sorry" at the time would be nice. Sending a letter would seem odd.

3. Ahem....drop it.

Now I want to hear more about the lesbian bar. ;-)

[gollygee]

4. Nah

She'll probably forget about it by the time the letter arrives anyway.

14. no she probably won't.

6. I guess somethings never change

Sounds like HS all over again, doesn't it? Send her a nice card telling her what a nice time you had. If she can't get over it then she is still stuck in HS and you have moved on.

7. Come on

out with it. The apology is a guise to have more contact with her, right? I mean, you are sincere about the apology, one can tell, but you're secretly hoping she'll want to see you. Give her a holler, you only live once.

9. I have a girlfriend

that I don't plan on breaking up with. She has a boyfriend that she seems attached to. I just feel like I will be thinking about that for the next 10 years.

[Wickerman]

12. ok

I can see that. Very considerate of you. Though I wouldn't give it a lot more thought. Its done, she has forgotten it.

8. Meet her for lunch

and FART!!

My gawd! She's making a big ass deal over this???

[Renew Deal]

10. I doubt she is.

I just feel bad.

[Guaranteed]

11. Sounds like one of those "let it go" things because it'll just make it

worse to make a big deal out of it.

13. send a letter

but hack some fleghm into it and attach a note - "oh, you forgot this"

I mean, unless you like this classmate. ;)

15. Forget about it and here's why.

Because everyone in your class knows that as soon as you left the reunion, you set your mind on gettin' paid. Yo yo yo yo.

Plus it would make you look overly self-conscious if you wrote to them and they might freak out. Especially since you're supposed to not have time to do that because you set your mind on gettin' paid.

Yo yo yo yo.

16. Plus then she'll probably talk about that you called her.

Being like "he just called me to apologize for coughing on me! He tracked me down and everything!"

You don't have time to track anyone down when you're makin'. all. the. money. And bringin' it home.
