Retirement luncheons

kybearfuzzJust want to get a general opinion here. One of my co-workers is retiring and I'm being badgered to attend her going away luncheon. The cost of going is about $30. If it were the retirement of any of my close co-workers I would go. This lady has been something of a pain to me while I've worked here and I admit that I tend to go out of my way to avoid her. I have no close ties to her and to be honest, I just don't like her that much.
As such, am I being a jerk for not wanting to spend my time and money going to a luncheon for her? I'm trying to use the "somebody has to stay and be in the office" excuse, but I've been asked several times now and I simply don't want to go. Any thoughts?

No way Jose!

I also agree if it is going to cause you some brownie points at work, and would pay for that way, then you can swallow your pride, and go, just don't associate with her.
