It someone slaps their knees in my own house I start thinking of leaving
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 saw a video yesterday that in Japan, your hosts will offer to serve green tea on rice. Apparently this is a hint for the guests to leave.
In Denmark, the host will sometimes serve soup or another light dish to signal that it’s time for them to leave. It’s actually informally known as “go away-food”
I wish I had the confidence and rudimentary cooking abilities to serve guests go away-food 😆
you sure it’s not called “annoying cancer-cunt-twat tuberculosis coffee”?
It very much is. Maybe it’s not a custom in your part of the country but here in Østjylland and in Himmerland, it definitely is.
Are you expected to eat fuck off soup, or should you fuck off right away?
It’s up to you, really. You can fuck off right away, eat the soup and then fuck off or you can have fucked off before the soup was served 🤷
I’m Brazilian and over here we can both, place a broom behind the front door or start doing the dishes
How does the act of placing a broom behind the front door signify the guest should leave? The broom is blocking the exit. 🤔
How people from high context culture tell their guest it’s time to leave: “whelp”
How people from low context culture tell their guess it’s time to leave: “I think you should leave”
Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone actually ask somebody to leave where I’m from. If it gets too late and our guests are still there, guess they’re staying the night. Luckily, most people leave before then.
I’ve lived most of my life in tiny Vermont villages, for context.
I just announce that the orgy is about to start and in less than a minute I’m alone. 😤
