Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Taking a german leave
People are making leaving so needlessly difficult. Do you want to leave? Just leave and say that it's time to leave.
"I think it's time for me to leave. It has been great seeing you again and hanging out!"
Want people to leave? "I am starting to feel a bit tired, so I think we got to wrap this up"
If you are leaving a party with many people? First say goodbye to the host, then announce it to everyone. "It's time for me to leave. Was great seeing everyone again!"
Always say goodbye to the host, just leaving is in my opinion a bit rude. People may disagree on this.
I prefer my method of awkwardly shuffling away once everyone's attention is elsewhere. Bonus points if it's a party in my own house
An "Irish exit" (also known as an "Irish goodbye") refers to leaving a party or social gathering without saying goodbye to the host or other guests. It's a discreet or unnoticed exit.
And I Irish car bomb is a drink you have after blowing up a car then making an Irish exit
EEEJEECT!
So this is why my friends take forever to leave? goddamn it neurotypicals.
It's a bit silly that you say 'goddammit neurotypicals' because they don't communicate their need to leave, but you don't seem to communicate your need for them to leave either. Just tell them you're tired and would like for them to leave/leave soon. I do this and nobody has ever been offended. I guess someone who'd get offended by direct communication like that wouldn't be friends with me because I be like that.
"Want a last one for the road?"
Just start playing your game? If its single-player, at least, they'll get the idea. That said, most of my kids' parties, and my friends parties for that matter, are sleep-overs and the directive early-on is "make yourself at home".
Peeps in the OP look miserable and incapable of self-direction.
