- This method has always worked for me.
“Look, you know I love you, right? You’re my (friend/relative). I love hanging out with you. But I gotta say, it’s closing time. You don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here. You’re welcome to come back some other time, but for now, right now, you gotta go.”
This way it conveys the intention with as little hurtful impact as possible. I’ve used this line verbatim dozens of times, and have never had anyone get upset because of it, and they always leave.
- “Hey, Internet is down, wanna look at the 1800 pictures I took on my last trip to the mountain?”
- Get into a loud extremely intense fight with somebody else who lives there. I mean, really dig into them. Call your wife an alcoholic, say you never loved your kids, claim that you’ve been sleeping with your secretary for thirty years. Whatever it takes. Make it super awkward for them, and they’ll usually disappear on their own.
- I always say Alright guys, we gotta wrap it up. I wanna get some sleep.
- “Hey, I don’t want to be rude, but I’ve got stuff to do, and I think its time you get going. Thanks for coming though; we should do this again sometime.” If they try shit like, “Oh! What are you doing? Can I help/tag along?” – “No, I think it’s best if you just head out. Thanks though”
- When they first arrive you cook them a nice roast dinner (a whole lamb is suggested). Over the next couple of days you use the leftover meat for nice hot pies and stews. By the 5th day it’s best not to reheat the meat due to bacteria, and the guest is overstaying their welcome so you serve the them cold shoulder as a hint to leave. Hence the expression.
- Fake an argument with your partner.
- “Do you want a cup of coffee before you leave?”
- Tell them something like “Hey, it’s getting late and I’d like some alone time. So if you would please…” while motioning toward the door.
Ways To Tell Your Guest To Leave- This is going to take a lot of guts, but try it, if you’re so damn annoyed by your relatives and friends presence.
