20 Signs You've Become a Party Pooper

When the Invites Begin to End

You used to be the life of the party. The phone was constantly ringing off the hook. You were getting invited to parties, dates, picnics, hoedowns, and more. You thought the party would never end. But one day, it did.

The voicemail messages vanished. The invitations disappeared. People stopped bothering to even send email or Facebook invites. Where did the parties go? Surely, not everyone has stopped having fun. So what happened?

My friend, maybe you have become something you never imagined - a party pooper! Gasp! Yes, it can strike at anytime. You've been coasting through life thinking you were laidback and amusing. You thought everyone was dying to hang out with you. The harsh realization that you've become a party pooper can be difficult to accept. Please, stop weeping.

If you have any doubts about your new status as "party pooper," I've created a helpful list for you. Please check it out:

20 Signs You've Become a Party Pooper

  1. You go to picnics and point out the large number of flies swarming the area. You start to kill the flies over top of the food. You don't notice the flies going into the food.
  2. Your friends want to go for a walk on the sand at the beach, but you don't want to do so since the sand is all "dirty and icky."
  3. Someone says they have Bieber Fever and you ask if they are taking antibiotics for it.
  4. You like to play "Guess that Weight" at the pool party. You tend to overestimate quite a bit.
  5. At baby showers, you like to play "Guess the Father." I don't think I need to elaborate on that one.
  6. Someone asks you out on a date, but you have to get home early to watch America's Got Talent.
  7. You like to dress up like a clown when attending children's parties. Yes, that is all. Dressing like a clown makes you an automatic party pooper.
  8. You are invited to a dinner party and you happen to mention how all the food smells like feet.
  9. You constantly turn down invitations to parties and other events because your cat Ms. Betsy misses you too much when you are gone.
  10. While at the zoo, you mention how you would like to cook and serve each animal. The story about sauteing the giraffe is especially disturbing.
  11. Your friends want to go bowling, but you sit it out because the bowling bowl is kind of heavy.
  12. You insist you can handle riding the roller coaster, but you throw up everytime.
  13. You insist you can handle a lot of alcohol, but you throw up everytime.
  14. You insist you can handle violent, bloody horror flicks, but you throw up everytime. (I hope you are seeing the pattern on this one!)
  15. Someone tries to start a line dance at a party, but you trip everyone.
  16. It's a Hawaiian party, but you refuse to wear a lei. If you are not going to wear the lei, don't even show up.
  17. You go to a dinner party, eat all the food, and leave. This one is not so funny - it is just simply truthful.
  18. You take your shoes off at your friends home and you haven't changed your socks in days.
  19. You refuse to go out past 7 in the evening since you feel a little "snoozy" at about that time.
  20. You leave unpleasant comments under someone's lighthearted (and hopefully fun) hub. Hmmmm...

Thank you so much! I am afraid I've been a party pooper lately myself. Perhaps this is my therapy.

Playing "guess the weight" at a pool party--that's a sure-fire way NOT to get invited again! LMAO!!

Yes, there is a time and a place for everything. That game is never appreciated at the pool party. Thanks for reading and for the comment!

Hi Everyone! Thank you for reading my hub and for your kind comments. I think I just wanted a way to work in the term "Bieber Fever" into a hub. I try to remind myself not to be a party pooper, but every now and then, I just might be one myself. Thanks again!

Ha the older I get the more I know I am becoming a party pooper. I used to be the one that stayed up till 5am partying till the sun rose now by 11 or midnight I am yawning and wondering when its time to go home. Too funny, voted up!

Hi Jeannieinabottle, I am sure your hubs get funnier, laughed all through this, it's frightening how many of the above I can say yes to... voting up and pushing buttons.

nycgirl - I know what you mean. I could never make it to 5, but I at least used to be able to last until midnight or so. Now, I am ready to go to sleep by 10. It's so sad! Thanks for the comment.

Movie Master - Thank you for the compliment and the vote ups! I appreciate it.

I like the comment about unpleasant comments on funny hubs...lol. Another 'funny' vote.

Jeannieinabottle Hub Author 10 months ago

Yes, I get a nasty comment here and there. Sometimes I can't tell if the person did not get my sense of humor, or if I did not get their sense of humor. Thank you for your pleasant comment!

I was so tempted to leave an unpleasant comment but that would make me a party pooper and that would be no good.

Great hub , very funny . :)

"Guess the father" haha! I'd be the one to suggest that game!! Excellent list!

Hahaha... I would so want to go to a baby shower with you, Linda. That would be so much more fun than some boring shower with those other silly games. :-)

Thanks for reading my hub!!!

Laughed at the Beiber Fever remark! Yes, I think I know some of these former partygoers....there's a reason they're all 'former'.

I'd invite you to my party....just leave your socks at home please :o) Voted up and shared.

*sigh* Somehow, I identify with this. Just a few days ago a good HP friend who lives not too far away from me asked if I'd join her for lunch at a half-way destination between our homes. Before I answered, she said, "Oh, wait a minute, you haven't left your house since you met me for lunch three years ago. Never mind." LOL

On the up side, I gained favor with my daughter and her friends the other day by saying the Jersey Devils hockey team's logo looked like a cross between a wrench and a XXXX (I'll leave the second part out). This observation of mine let my daughter know that at least I was paying attention to something outside my front door. However, Bieber who? Good one! Up and funny. :)

Thank you both for the comments! Obviously I am experiencing some of these signs myself since I seem to be an expert at being a party pooper.
