It someone slaps their knees in my own house I start thinking of leaving
I just announce that the orgy is about to start and in less than a minute I’m alone. 😤
Ah, the Midwest goodbye. Also appropriate is a “whelp, I suppose.”
When I’m tired of the people, I just tell them to get the fuck out.
They get it.
I used to be more Midwestern, “Welp” or “Alright” kind of thing, but I’ve been becoming a bit more low context with time. Especially if I have my family with me. It’s a lot easier to terminate exchanges when you have a kid.
“I’m gonna go now” seems like it’s going to be too direct but people adjust pretty quickly in my experience. Or maybe everyone I know thinks I’m an asshole lol
I just speak plainly. It works wonders.
There are some people who don’t like it, but that’s just because they’re even bigger assholes.
As a guest I am never this type of problem, as I will usually have done an “Irish goodbye” hours before this point. If I haven’t, my only problem would be not exclaiming out loud “oh thank god” when the host whelps.
