Comment on This balloon we brought to decorate a 70th birthday party wasn't at all overshadowed by the ones left on display from the previous party.

- Party venue in pub conference room.
- Arrived 30 minutes prior to the start time of our party.
- Brought some token decorations to make it look like we’d made some effort.
- We brought a single small balloon.
- There was obviously a party the night before, celebrating a 60th of some kind.
- Pub owners hadn’t removed the decorations from previous party.
- We didn’t want to dispose of the original balloons in case their owners wanted to collect them and weren’t able to previously.
- The 60 balloons sat there the whole time during our party.
- Previous party organisers made us look like the absolute amateurs we are.
- MILDLY infuriating.
- Bonus extra item: nobody actually cared, just thought it was comical, emphasised by the placement of the 70th balloon, where each set of balloons is in direct proportion to the amount of sentiment held for the celebrant.

In my mind if you leave balloons after your party is over, you don’t want them. I would have just popped them all and tossed them in the bin

Better yet - just toss the 60s and keep the rest! Free decorations!
