The Five people you will meet at every house party

Everyone loves a good house party; being with friends, drinking, catching up and drinking some more but there are certain people who are always there and, let’s be honest, you really wish they weren’t sometimes.

Whether it’s one of the following or all five, there is definitely one party pooper lurking in the kitchen or sitting on your favourite seat. If you can’t think of anyone you know who’s like this, then unfortunately it’s probably you.

1. The Passer-Outer

One drink too many early on in the night and you will find this dozy drunkard collapsed on the sofa or entwined in the bannister on the stairs. They’re usually great craic until this point when they seem to lose all interest in partying away and think that an early snooze would be more beneficial.

Maybe they have made it to all their classes this week for once or they’re just not in the party spirit, either way they are taking up much needed seating space and sometimes the snoring doesn’t match with the music’s bass. For any future gatherings, make sure you invest in a marker pen to turn a dormant student into a sleeping beauty.

Time for a snooze – corpse style

2. The Dastardly DJ

We all have that one friend who thinks they are a musical maestro, down with all the tunes and promises to get everybody grooving.

But no. They play the same genre of unknown dubstep all night and the most people can do is try and work out when the beat drops. Play varied music – everyone loves a cheesy 90’s tune or the true classics every once in a while.

It’s a house party not Ibiza

3. The Selfie Shocker

This is usually the girl who has dressed to impress and wants to show off her fake tan and brand new dress to not only the party goers but the rest of the world. She’ll claim she’ll be the photographer for the night but really the album is of her posing over and over again, either on her own or with a randomer she has grabbed from the crowd.

Snapchat thrives because of this selfie addict, but the party doesn’t. Just go and stare in the mirror and appreciate your good looks that way rather than forcing everyone else to witness your vanity.

Photobomb to the max

4. The Awkward Loner

A friend of a friend of a housemate that has turned up alone because he thought he would know more than 1 or 2 people. But he doesn’t and he resorts to the awkward chair in the corner and sits glued to the football updates on his phone.

No matter how friendly he is to people or they are with him, he is known as the one nobody knows and it has got too far into the night to ask what his name even is!

Let’s all just be friends – no loners in this crib tonight!

5. The Booze Borrower

House parties usually have the attitude of bring your own booze and that’s exactly what this lad does. The whole of one bottle of beer.  Once that’s glugged down in two he will slowly wander around begging people to borrow some drink. By the end of the night, he’s probably the most drunk out of everyone.

Even worse is the person who rocks up with a full crate of beer and starts handing them out but then when his generosity stops it’s up to you and everyone else to reimburse him with your own (usually stronger) alcohol.

No matter what, there will definitely be someone who is going to feel rough the next day

So these 5 people are sure to have made an appearance at most, if not all, of the house parties you have been to and you’re probably guilty of a few yourself!
