Has anyone ever heard of the 24 hour shower? I was recently invited to a shower for a friend in which the purpose is that everyone draws a "random" time in which you're supposed to give the bride a gift that corresponds with the time that you got so for example, if it's 8 am, you get her something like gift cards to Starbucks or a fancy basket w/scented soaps & shower gels. If you drew the 9 pm slot, you could give her martini glasses & so on and so forth.
The bitch of it was that her aunts (who threw the shower) decided that to keep up the spirit of the game, we had to give her the gift at the time designated. They of course had the best times like morning & afternoon while her close friends were given the evening times. The rest of us were given the 2-5 am time slots. I got 3 am. I was like WTF??? Are you serious? You want me to drive my ass at 3 in the morning to give her a pillow b/c that's exactly what she needs at 3. A pillow or a blanket to sleep. I don't think so. I'm not planning on attending though I will send her my gift but this is just stupid.
It could be worse though...I guess. I just think of the stupid baby shower game I hate that has the guest measuring the womans belly with toilet paper. I don't like that game at all.

I've thrown an Around the Clock shower before and had one thrown for me, but we all showed up at the same time and the bride opened up her gifts in the order of the times. One girl got confused and showed up at noon for a 1 PM shower because she had the noon time.
