I love being Irish.

You didn’t notice that I left an hour ago.

Because everyone was too drunk.

Yep, my own experience with doing the Irish exit had always been either at a friend’s place or a bar, when everyone is trashed, especially me, and I get the urge to go find a club to dance or whatever other shenanigans my lizard brain thought I should do. I’m getting old though, been a while since it happened.

It would help if everyone else would stop talking to you and God forbid they fucking follow you out the door and keep talking.

Excuse me, it’s not their fault you forgot to take your hotdish leftovers.

And also, how are your grandparents?

I’ve had it happen to the point where they’re leaning on the car’s window, and I’m desperately holding in the urge to let my foot off the brake pedal.

It’s so bad. I have to plan around it. At least 30, probably 60 minutes

I’m Indian, and pretty much anybody who comes over is Indian too, and almost every time we have someone over its like 30 minutes from first goodbye to actually leaving. I love it, but it can get annoying.

Or you can end with, “Yeeeaap, well it’s about that time…”

In the Midwest, it’s, “Welp.”

Also, you have to lightly slap your knees as you stand up.

I once said goodbye to someone and then proceeded to spend the night at their house.

Are you one of the characters in this Christmas song?

Yea, first thing I thought was “you mean there are savages in the Midwest that don’t take 2 hours to say goodbye to everyone they know at big gatherings?”

If they have such a hard time saying goodbye to each other, why don’t they all just permanently move in together?

I live in the Midwest and I’ve actually taken up to 2 hours to leave, so I have some experience here lol. When it takes that long to leave, it’s because it’s a huge family gathering of some kind. The most recent for me was a huge family wedding. It’s kinda rude to just leave without making rounds to folks, so the time is spent tracking people down and talking to them for about 5 minutes before looking for the next person. Obviously you can’t say goodbye to everyone, so I just say goodbye to everyone I’m close to before saying goodbye to the host
