We’ve all had mates who left the club a bit earlier than expected, sometimes way earlier. Depending on what time you leave, your mates will either groan at you for going so early, or if it’s late enough, they’ll understand and say bye. But eventually we all have to leave the club sometime (even if it’s at the bouncer’s less than subtle insistence). Of course there will be times when you have to leave the club pretty early because you legitimately have something on the next day, but often people will just say this so they can go home.
So does the time you happen to leave the club tell people how hard you like to party, or not party? Kinda, yeah.
10pm: This is assuming the club opened earlier than 10pm. If you leave at 10pm (or earlier, if that’s even humanly possible), I’m sorry, but you suck. Why did you bother going out to begin with? Your friends will give you so much shit, and will probably even think you don’t really want to hang out with them, possibly somewhat fracturing the friendship. Do you even consider them your friends?
11pm: Like the above 10pm, many nightclubs merely open at 11pm, so if you leave a club at 11pm, you’re lame, plain and simple. That’s when most people arrive! You’re only one hour away from midnight, you might as well let the next day start. The only way I’d understand this is if you’re the deso; enough said.
12am: This is the earliest time you should even merely think about leaving the club, let alone actually heading home. It’s passable, but you still could’ve done a lot better. Oh well, at least you let the clock go past midnight unlike the 10pm and 11pm losers.
1am: This is the very earliest you can leave without looking lame. It’s a whole hour after midnight, so the next day has well and truly started (unless you think the start of the day is when the sun rises, as it is still nighttime after all). Though of course your mates would rather you stay longer, they feel you’ve done the bare minimum clubbing duty for the night.
2am: There’s a quote from How I Met Your Mother that goes, “Nothing good ever happens after 2am. When it’s after 2am, just go to sleep because the decisions you make after 2am are the wrong decisions”. I don’t fully agree with this quote (how can it be wrong if it feels so right? Oh right, you’re drunk), but there is some truth to it. Mind you, the characters on that show are 30-somethings. That episode was made in 2006, so nowadays they probably thinking staying out til midnight is hardcore!
3am: No one’s going to give you shit if you leave now, unless they want a lift home from you, but they want to stay out longer.
4am: It’s now going to be really fucking hard getting a cab that’s not only vacant, but has a taxi driver heading your way. It’s tight, but you’d be picky too if you had to drive obnoxious, drunk morons around all night too.
5am: No point trying to get a taxi now; they won’t do shit for you. Might as well wait until the club closes now.
6am: The sun is rising, and you’re just in time to get some Maccas breakfast. You’re one cool dude/dudette.
