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.
It someone slaps their knees in my own house I start thinking of leaving
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”?
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 🤷
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.
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. 🤔
I just announce that the orgy is about to start and in less than a minute I’m alone. 😤
Why wouldn’t people just say, “It’s getting late, this was fun, but I need to sleep so it’s time for everyone else to leave, let’s hang out again next week”?
Why can’t people be simple?
Yeah, I normally say “I can’t clog the bathroom with people listening” and that normally works
I just bounce
Even during my own parties or while I have people over. Stay as long as you like, even stay the night if you so desire, but I’m going to my room and passing out at 10pm no matter what, so you do you from that point on. It’s likely I’ll also forget to tell you I’m going to bed
