You’re at a social event, you’ve been allocated a place at a certain table and there’s someone at the same table you don’t like. They could be someone from your School days, current or former work college, a former partner or simply just someone you don’t like.
The event could be either a wedding, birthday party or a fab social event what do you do? Do you say anything to the person or try to get moved to a different table? |

I act like an adult and would be polite but not seeking out to chat to them.
I don't understand saying something to them which could cause a scene or asking to move tables. People should be adult enough to know how to conduct themselves in public even with people they don't like. |

If they speak to me, I'll speak back to them. As long as it's adult like chat, as we're suppose to be all adults afterall. If it's not, I wouldn't speak back to them. Otherwise I'll get on with my time there & do my own thing. They can do there own thing aswell.
It mightn't be an easything to do alright. It wouldn't be worth the effort to interact with them apart from that, to me Anyway's.

Just be civil to them but don't engage with them. Why tell the organiser and create a scene? |

Sometimes the hardest thing to wear, is a smile. This advice is tailor made for such a situation.
Thus, I wouldnt let them annoy me. I would remain adult at all times and behave in a manner that respects the people who invited me in the first place. Told you all how decent a spud I am!

How about if someone at your table acted too forcefully and made unwanted sexual advances at a previous event? Would you still stay at the table or even at the event? |

Enjoy the company of the others at the table, be polite but brief in exchanges and after they order, intercept the waiting staff and tell them that person actually changed their mind and now wants the lobster for the main... |

Nah, I'd largely ignore them & pass myself if necessary 
- I'll drop the salt shaker in their food considering Delectable has sweetened their coffee already throwing lumps of sugar (what a waste!!!)
. I mean someone has to get the entertainment going
