‘What’s a sign to leave a party that not a lot of young people know?’ – 23 moments when you should make a swift exit

There comes a moment at every party when the proceedings tip over from ‘brilliant fun’ into ‘every extra minute I spend here will cause me regret in the morning’.

The trick is knowing when that moment has arrived, which is something that only comes with long experience of waking up feeling dreadful and wishing you’d gone home five hours before you actually did. Reddit user NotThatOneGuuy posed the question:

‘What’s a sign to leave a party that not a lot of young people know?’

And people who had found themselves marinating in the dregs of too many bad parties had some sage advice for the youth of today.

‘In my experience, when someone shares a Youtube video they’re excited about. The video is fine, but it inevitably leads to “Oh, that reminds me of one I saw!” leading to an unending chain of people sharing videos, most of the group bored at any given one.

The party is over, now its just people watching Youtube. Bail.’
