Often the homing beacon will activate itself suddenly and without warning, however, it is usually preceded with several minutes worth of vacant staring and the sudden exit of the individual may be accompanied by some grunt or the phrase, 'i have to go'.

- The homing beacon, in an advanced person may also make you stop for food.
A: 'So what, I just stared at the floor, got up, said bye and left? Dude I don't remember sh*t from last night...'

B: 'Yeah man, I'm surprised you made it back OK, that's some homing beacon you got there.'
