10 Ways to Kick Out Guests Who Ignore Your Exit Sign!
In an era when evening invitations to homes are becoming increasingly popular, sometimes we may feel a bit lost as to how to delicately signal to our guests that it’s time to leave. Here are a few tips on how to achieve this goal in a subtle way.
Be polite but firm
The most important thing is to be polite but firm. Tell your guests that you are very happy with their visit, but that you have to wake up early in the morning and need some time for yourself before sleeping. Let them know that you like them very much, but that you have to say goodbye.
Don’t use loud words and don’t get upset
When reminding guests that time is running out, remember not to use loud words and not to argue with them. This can only cause bad emotions and make the situation even more unpleasant. Keep a calm tone and try to solve the problem in a polite and cultural way.
How to deal with rude behavior
If despite all your gentle attempts to indicate that it’s time to leave, your guests behave rudely and ignore you, don’t delay this moment. Approach your guest, smile, shake hands, and say that you have decided to go to bed earlier, and that the evening meeting was really nice and that you would like to talk to them again on another occasion.
Be kind and polite
No matter how rude your guest behaves, always maintain kindness and politeness. A good advice is also to be understanding to your guests. They probably only came together with your intention to spend a pleasant time together. However, it’s important to take care of your own needs and remind them that sometimes we have to finish the visit and get to work.
It’s important to remember that a gentle, subtle and polite approach is always better than loud and rude behavior. Teaching our guests in a tactful and cultural way will ensure us pleasant and demanding meetings in the future.
