No. Quite the opposite really. People seem a bit ashamed that they went along with it and (after a bit of stunned silence) and it feels like I have gained a little measure of respect for holding out. It never occurred to them to even try, and the thought of standing up to so much social pressure while maintaining composure must seem like an admirable quality.
