"Weve all been there: You threw an amazing partymaybe a housewarming, maybe a holiday get-togetherbut now its 1, 2 a.m., and your guests just. Wont. Leave. Its not your fault youre just that good at throwing parties, but youd also like to clean up and head to bed sometime soon. What is one to do?
Dont worrySpecial Counsel Robert Mueller has a little party hack you can use next time, as we learned in a profile in Time magazines 2018 Person of the Year issue, in which the former FBI Director is a runner-up. You see, hes not just the man overseeing the investigation into whether or not the President of the United States knew that Russia was meddling in our 2016 election, hes also a person. A person who likes to cut loose every now and then but has little time, it appears, for arbitrary social pleasantries."

"Relentless but circumspect. Impatient but thorough. Difficult but respected. Rather than wait around for people to finally get the hell out of his house or make passive aggressive comments to those lingering well after everyone has leftthe worst part of throwing a partyMueller flicks the lights on and off to signal it is time to go. Theres no guessing here, no opportunity to misinterpret. Its simple, elegant.
On Queer Eye one of the quick tips is to serve coffee as a signal that its time to wrap it up, says Managing Editor Virginia Smith. This is more harsh, which I like.

(22,048 posts)... a four-poster bed would have ornaments atop each of the four corner posts. If you were lying on the bed, the post on the right side by your right foot has an ornament that is removable. When the host wanted to signal that it was time for you to leave, they would remove that ornament.
Just sayin'.
Interesting tidbit!
