Party Etiquette 101: The Don'ts

This post is for those who lack knowledge of how to properly attend and have fun at parties (venue and house) and kickbacks.

1. Please say excuse me when you are walking around, beside, behind, or under someone. We are already in a tight space, I’m already a little angry when you push me out the way… an “Excuse me” will make it just a little better.

2.  When you are trying to put the mack down on ole girl please move to the nearest corner. Don’t stand in the middle of the party trying to ask baby girl her name, age, major, occupation, phone number and bra size. You are taking up unnecessary space, move that elsewhere.

3. If you catch your man or girl throwing it back on someone else and you decide that the party is the right time and place to get in your feelings and begin an argument, please move that outside.. You are ruining everyone else’s vibe.

4. Please stop grabbing women’s behinds!!!! We are not intrigued by it and sexual harassment is not okay.

5. Carry a pack of gum, put it in your wallet.. back pocket or something because no one wants a funky breath in their face talking about some… “You sholl look good tonight ma.”

6. Yes, some parties allow you to smoke inside but please take it outside. We don’t want people having asthma attacks and I definitely don’t want lung cancer from your secondhand smoke.

7. If you are in someone’s house, please do not go in their stuff… leave folks’ cabinets and refrigerators alone. That’s not cool.

8. There are always trash cans around, stop throwing your cups on the ground. The no littering policy applies inside too. Be respectful of people’s homes. They were nice enough to let people who don’t even know their first names in their home, be considerate of their living area.

9. If you are going to a party just to stand there and look stank, please go home. You are a waste of space and no one is looking at you.

10. How you get to a party is how you leave. If you came to the party with ten people in a 1997 Honda, fit those ten people back in that car and go home. Stop leaving people you came with and stop coming with people who are not your friends.

If you are offended by this post, just know if the shoe fits……

 

Remember, we are in college and we are here to have fun. Be safe and happy partying.
