I used to feel uncomfortable whenever a visitor stays longer than necessary in my house. Atimes I apply some tactics to dislodge him and bid him good bye but it doesn't work. The tactics like - i just want to go somewhere, i want to have some rest, i want to take my bath etc. after all these comments, the visitors still stays and i limit my conversation but all efforts seems abortive. Do have a better tactics to dislodge an unwanted visitor who overstays?

I'm amused. It's really very difficult to dislodge a visitor who doesn't like to leave. Well, he might not be a visitor already, he might want to stay. Why not ask his purpose, it might not be just visiting. A real headache really.

actually, many visitors overstay their welcome. it is a real headache to tell them to leave when they have not shown any satisfaction in their stay. may be one should tell them openly to start going that you have some assignments to do. isn't it? probably it might work. thanks

That happens to me sometimes when someone doesn't want to get off the phone. I try to say I'm going to take a nap, or that i'm about to leave (but those darn cell phones of today). I know when I was a teenager I would call one of my friends ahead of time or if i went to the bathroom while the person was over and I would tell them to call me at a designated time and make up some kind of story to where you can say that you had to leave right quick. It doesn't have to be too dramatic or anything something like one of your friends needs to be picked up or her car broke down, nothing too complicated. That should work for the most part depending on the level of comfort with you that the person you want to boot out has they might want to go with you so beware of that trap!!! Good luck!

actually some people don't understand hints, impulse and when some one is feeling uncomfortable. some people will visit and stay put without having plans to leave your domain. it is very worrisome. i need tactics to dislodge them. thanks

I tend to say, sorry, I have to get to the store before it closes, or before the kids are home from school, put on my coat, and walk them to the door. then I walk towards the bus stop and wait until I know they've left and go back home. i hate people who don't get hints!

it depends on the kind of person the visitor is, atimes some of them would not let you be, one came to my house, i was having fellowship with my wife. we made all hints and tactics for her to leave, all was to no avail. does it mean, they don't understand even when you are not responding to conversation. when you tell them you are going out, they will choose to accompany you. it is worrisome. i need a good tactics for them. thanks

just say 'its time for you to leave now!' if they are being rude, and overstaying their welcome, be rude right back.
