I love being Irish.
You didn’t notice that I left an hour ago.
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.
Wait other places don’t do this?
Or you can end with, “Yeeeaap, well it’s about that time…”
15 minutes is rookie numbers
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
