When a guest at someone's house says "welp, time to go", this should be considered a binding and unambiguous declaration of intent. As soon as it is said, all parties involved should be obligated to make a good-faith effort to wrap up all conversation threads and get the guest out the door within fifteen minutes. Couples, people with children, and other groups of guests who have to leave together must openly negotiate the time of leaving among themselves. Prolonging a stay by holding someone hostage in an extended conversation at the door with your shoes on should be considered a dick move. Conversely, a host is obligated to give guests about thirty minutes notice before they ask them to leave. After that time has elapsed and the host again indicates it's time for guests to leave, see the protocol above. This will never be a universally agreed upon social convention, but in a just world it would be.
