Anyone have people like this? They are usually the first people to arrive and the last people to leave an in order to get them to leave you have to keep dropping hints.

Everyone else eventually leaves and they just hang around. And just talk.

Its usually something older people will do, but the people I am complaining about are a family of 4.. And it never fails, every year they will open up all of the kids gifts and they always lose pieces.

Its not like they are bad people or anything, its just that they don't know when its time to leave. And there are times when they get ready to leave, they say good by and an hour later they have not left yet because they start talking about something then they have to do the whole routine of gathering their kids, making sure they have everything, etc...

Last time I heard that phrase, I was 17 and trying to get busy on a loveseat of my GF's den. There's a chance I might have read some signals wrong.

I used to just to tell my wife or girlfriend,” Come on baby let’s go to bed. Can’t you see these people are trying to leave.”

Most get the hint.

posted a reference to this last night

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. It is related to the cognitive bias of illusory superiority and comes from people's inability to recognize their lack of ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their level of competence.



basically, chris is too stupid to be a good poster, but at the same time he suffers from a psychological/mental disability where he lacks the cognitive ability to understand that fact
and lacks the skills to change


so when he says he's no worse than us he really means it due to his low IQ he is unable to process all the evidence and understand to the contrary

My brother in law, he has zero going home sense. Very nice guy, super smart engineer, loves to be around his niece and nephew, but everytime he comes over it's like I have to verbally tell him it's time to go. Guy lives alone, so probably just a product of being lonely, but sometimes you just have to get the kids in the bed and can't entertain.

So I wear out my welcome more than any other poster on this site?

And can you really wear out your welcome on a message board? Its a lot easier to ignore people on a message board so if you let someone "wear out their welcome" you are the problem.

this thread either didn’t go as you had planned or it went exactly as planned, didn’t it?

My mom is the marathon visitor. I love her but it's fairly annoying. 30 minutes is a long visit for my dad.

Chris you knew how people would answer this, yet you posted it anyway. Are you that starved for attention? Or are you simply a masochist?

I don’t get mad that people enjoy my company. Then again, I don’t allow people that I don’t like in my home.

If you don’t want people staying past a certain time, you ask them to visit for a specific amount of time and create a secondary task that needs to be started at that time.

Social awareness; it is a two way street.

Dude, are you really trying to evaluate me?

Seriously, you are the one who doesn't get it. At least my threads are about something.

This is your topic list page. Your threads pretty much yell "Its all about ME! Give ME attention".

And the picture is to just remind everyone who looks like he suffers from a mental disability
