It goes without saying that no one likes wakes, but I despise them. Wakes are the platypus of social gatherings. People mingle and chitchat like they're at a party. Some people outright laugh and tell jokes... ...while someone you know lies dead and embalmed at the front of the room. There's crying. Sniffles. Tissues. So you're supposed to be sad and social at the same time... Platypus.
