100% I would watch this!

That is an awesome plan

I did not see it going there.. I was thinking swap places so they all return the right car to right place, but they all insist they are the same person who left with it.

I promise gracelynns mom has a live laugh love sign.

Why would every woman fear late marriage? There's plenty who would applaud being able to marry at an age of their choosing instead of quite young. Then there's plenty who don't want to marry at all. I'll stick to checking for snakes, thank you.

Tf? We suddenly started playing Fallout when I wasn’t looking? Where’s my adorable canine companion and my power armour dammit!

Poor Brian. But I'm thinking maybe he deserved it?

I do this

He does tho-

Gordon Ramsey does both. At once.

If you're really desperate, and the "one last drink before you go?" didn't work, leave the room and change into nightwear and return to the room and say "oh well, we're off to bed now."

Smithers, release the hounds.

In the UK, we just pause and say 'right' and you kinda know the meaning of it haha

If you’re in Minnesota you then mingle by the door for another 20 minutes before you actually leave

Stand up, and say "It's been lovely to see you, thank you so much for coming over." If they don't catch that hint. You continue with "It's getting late/nearly {time} so I mustent keep you any longer! Drive safe/do you need me to call you a taxi/text me so I know you made it home safe."

kneeslapping is universal

Then you spend half hour talking at the door, and another in the driveway. It’s called a “Midwest Goodbye”.

I'm heading to bed now and I'm turning on the motion detector alarm in 3 minutes.

This... is completely true.

From what I've heard about the Midwest, there is still an hour or so of goodbyes ahead. Mostly in the doorway.

Or, as SOON as they walk in, you say loudly "Oh damn." When they ask ' "WHAT!" you say the name of the person they hate most in the world and say that person is coming over in 5 minutes. That'll do it.

".... So, can I get you a sleeping bag?"

"I love y'all, but it's time you get home."

Once I just went to bed

South, while on the phone: well, I'm gonna let you go. If at someone's house: well, thank you so much for having me, I've gotta run.

Welp. Yup.

Just say the good old fashioned “welllll, look at the time, you wouldn’t want to miss your bus ride home, so BYEEEEEEEEE” *runs*

I'm from Pittsburgh, and we do it by saying, "I love you but you need to get the f**k to bed."

I stand up whilst continuing to talk, grab their coat and purse whilst continuing to talk and lead them to the door. Then I say, "Oh. It was really good to see you!" as I'm opening the door... If they say I'm not ready to go, I say, but I am ready for bed. Even if it's 10 in the morning...

Omg that's so true

Be my husband...don't. Just leave and go to bed and leave me, the person with a social anxiety disorder, to do it, which means it doesn't get done and I'm up till 430am 🙄

But be sure to do this at least three hours before you ACTUALLY want them to leave.

Am Midwestern, can confirm. Unless you're in my husband's family. Then you go to day bye to each person but stop to talk to each one for approximately half an eon first.

My mum would say, “oh well, I suppose we should go to bed and let these good people go home!”

In New England, we straighten up our backs in our chairs and say "Well! When can we do this again?"

I must be a simple gal. I say, "Love you. Go home now!" <3

Works in Sweden as well.

I am lonely. If I have guests, I will make them tea, coffee, scones, a 7 course degustation meal, a granny flat in the yard for them to live in, anything to facilitate them staying a bit longer. This “get them to leave” business is a foreign concept to me.

I open the door and scream “Get the f#%k out!”

My grandfather would passive-aggressively put the empty milk-bottles out on the front step in order to signal that the evening was over.

This also works in Texas.

I usually just tell them it's time to go. In the past I've checked on bus and train timetables and just walked them to the door.

... and after 30 more minutes of chit chat, you leave.
