We've all been there, the house party where everyone who's there has somewhere else they'd rather be. You try and show up casually late hoping that there will be people there and you'll already be drunk so you won't really care that much. But once you get there you realize that you don't know anyone, and there are only like seven people there.
The hosts of the party will keep telling you that other people are on the way, and you keep your fingers crossed hoping that you actually know the people on the way. However, when these people actually do show up, you know none of them, and they are about as lively as a group of mimes playing scrabble. It is absolutely brutal.
Suddenly, you look around and notice a grand total of like 13 people here, 8 of which are sitting around a table barely speaking, 4 of which are playing beer pong against each other, and the one person left over is walking back and forth between the table and the beer pong game trying to decide which one sucks more. It's pretty much a nightmare and you and everyone there wants to leave and go somewhere that you know is a thousand times better. Which at this point could be McDonald's, followed by your bed.
That time finally comes about an hour and fifteen minutes after you arrive and you make up some excuse as to why you have to leave. Usually you say, "We're just gonna go check out this other party and we'll be right back." That really means, "We're leaving because this sucks and we're not coming back." It's the bad house party protocol. If you end up at one of these this weekend, get out as quickly as possible. You want to go to the place where you know you'll have the best time. Start thinking about yourself, and not others.
