10 Things NOT to Do at a Party

Parties are where memories are made… and reputations are ruined. If you want to leave with more friends than you arrived with (and not a “never again” label), here’s what not to do.

1. Don’t Show Up Empty-Handed

   Even a bag of chips says, “I tried.” Showing up with nothing says, “I freeload.”

2. Don’t Be the Bathroom Hog

   It’s a restroom, not a reading nook. Move along.

3. Don’t Get Sloppy

   One too many shots, and suddenly you’re crying to strangers about your ex. Pace yourself.

4. Don’t Dominate the Music

   This isn’t DJ Me-Me-Me Hour. Share the aux cord.

5. Don’t Ignore the Host

   They invited you. At least say hi before raiding the snack table.

6. Don’t Trash the Place

   If you spill it, clean it. If you break it, apologize. If you set something on fire, you’ve gone too far.

7. Don’t Start Drama

   If your idea of fun is stirring the pot, you’re the wrong kind of guest.

8. Don’t Be a Wallflower (the Grumpy Kind)

   Standing in the corner scowling? Go home. Parties are for participation.

9. Don’t Overstay Your Welcome

   If the host is yawning and cleaning up around you, it’s your cue.

10. Don’t Forget to Say Thanks

    A simple “thanks for having me” makes you the guest they want back.

Final Thought

A good party guest is memorable for the right reasons. Bring good vibes, clean up your mess, and know when to call it a night.
