the Irish Goodbye FTW, also known as French Exit, or French Leave (wikipedia)
Ironically, it’s called “Filer a l’anglaise” (leaving the English way) in France
In Germany we say “den polnischen machen” - “doing the polish (exit)”
Lmao this was my first thought. Irish goodbye. Peace.
I just leave, I don’t announce
So i used to as well. Like you aren’t actively participating so you think that noone will notice that you left
Then, out of nowhere, everyone is asking “Why are you leaving? Stay with us”
And you know that it’s only because your presence legitimates theirs.
Wait, y’all announce when you leave? I just slip out like a ninja
I yell it, wave, and leave. I ain’t waiting around.
If you are sitting just slap your legs while saying “Well…” and doing a noise like you were a 107 yo who just got up for first time in 13 years.
Fuck it. Just yell “byeeee” and get out
“You’re really committed, right? You’re one of the last ones who stayed.”
“Good that you addressed me. Now I can finally announce I’m leaving. Bye!”what works for me is quietly telling one person that i’m leaving, just in case anyone notices, with the understanding that i don’t expect anyone to notice.
As if my absence would be noticed if I just left without saying anything? 🤷🏻♂️
The good ole Irish goodbye has saved me on multiple occasions
First I will eat one VERY last cookie.
