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
