Yes as with all things it does depend, I have had one or two invites which I did not mind but that is not worth the hassle of still having to reject or depending on circumstances not being able to outright reject some invites. I am happy with my general rule of "I don't go to [insert anything]"

90% of the time it makes me chuckle to see people short circuit as they process an outright rejection since I also don't care to waste time deliberating if it is an rsvp kind of thing.

Going for the ride is also a bit inconvenient since that is not the ride I paid for and some rides are no good even for free.
