  • What are the warning signs that you should leave a party? See all answers
    • Crying = time to leave the party

    • someone is crying
      This is kind of a bummer.


      there's no food or snacks out
      Maybe this is the 1/4 Italian in me talking, but social events = snack time in my mind. No snacks, no party.


      someone asks if you have a razor blade and/or mirror
      Yikes.


      the TV comes on
      There's nothing quite as party-killing as turning the music down, the lights up, and shifting focus from socializing to staring at a box.


      no one is shotgunning Tecate Light
      Well, this one isn't always true, but it's why I leave family parties pretty early most of the time.

    last item: can it only be tecate light? or can i shotgun bud light, natural light, etc etc? Tecate Light is just a little too high quality for shotgunning.

    Host/s fighting or crying = #1 reason to get the heck out.
    Other things can be compensated for. With your #3 there, have you ever considered maybe one of the guests just noticed his 5pm shadow and wants to tidy up?

    What if staring at the box means playing Wii? Running out of food and drinks would never happen at my place. The 100% Lebanese in me would put myself on Time-Out if I ever let that happen. And Tecate Light is a must-have at any taco party or Cinco de September celebration. And it must be said with an accent and with one shrugging one's shoulders.

    Snack spread is the top most important thing at any party. No snacks = poor hosting. And I don't support that kind of BS.

    Erika: That's true, but if the person is shaking, sniffing and looking rapidly from left to right I usually just head for the door.
    Charbel: Depends on the kind of party. In many cases Wii is appropriate (as it was on Saturday).
