Top 10 Reasons Galas are the Worst

1. Wearing uncomfortable dresses, tuxedos, and high heels

2. Boring speeches

3. You never win the raffle

4. Too many pictures are taken

5. Charity wastes your donated money on the venue and catering

6. Giving up a Friday or Saturday night that you could be watching Netflix on the couch

7. Small talk

8. Silent auctions

9. Awful entertainment

10. Trying to remember the name of the person talking to you, when they remember every small detail about your life
