I had a 6+ hour goodbye once. Thats not a joke

Broken in boots, camouflage clothing, and you must have at least 2 deer heads.

“You walk in with a polished pair of boots, you’d better be getting married” Pure comedy gold!!

Living in Wisconsin, learning how to use the phrase "well i suppose" properly is a critical skill.

One of the hardest things to get used to when my family and I moved to the south was the short goodbyes. My dad and I were outside and a neighbor came over to say hi. After a few minutes of chit-chat, he was like, see ya around, and left. My dad and I looked at each other like, did we offend him?

The bearded guy said be careful on moving to Wisconsin. These guy are great.

I was once involved in a goodbye standoff at the front door, more precisely, the door way.
The front door was open for an entire hour while we tried to leave. We finally broke free with “it’s a school night, gotta get the kid to bed”. I was the kid and immediately started acting exhausted like my life depended on it.
Luckily they didn’t offer us to spend the night or else we would still be there to this day.

I worked at a gas station 10
Years ago back in South Dakota. I had a guy who was a customer who came in every day. Thanksgiving he stayed at the store for 8 hours. 11am to 7pm. Didn’t leave. Chatted up with everyone who came in, chatted up with the workers who didn’t speak English. Got annoyed but then I realized he was probably just lonely. He did the “well I should get going” routine about 6 times.

From Minnesota. Omg the hardest thing is leaving your parents house. Ok goodbye mom I love you... 30 to 40 minutes later I'm back on the couch 😂😂

[Brawndo]

I've lived in Texas my entire life and the Goodbye is something that drives me insane. If I'm ready to leave the Thanksgiving gathering, I'm ready to already be in the car. Nope. Gotta go into the backyard and say goodbye to everyone out there, then sift my way through the living room and kitchen... Then Aunt Kathy insists on making a To-Go plate for me. While that's happening I'll get stuck in a conversation with an Uncle who went to the same college as me and wants to remember the good old days... I go into a Thanksgiving gathering at 32 and come out 34.

[turtledude]

"be careful on that" in reference to wisconsin is spot on. We dont stop drinking once we atart

[ostrobogulous]

Know that Kwik Trip is the best gas station, Friday night is for fish fries and an old fashioned. Also, it's called a casserole in WI and a hot dish in Minnesota...know your vocabulary.😉😁

Key thing with boots though, broken in but clean. Bit of dirt and grime is good.

Don’t go showing up walking into someone’s home tracking mud in.

Can confirm, I was deathly allergic to keeping my boots polished back in the Navy. Not because I didn't know how, but because to me a polished pair of boots showed that I didn't work hard. So my boots were routinely beat to hell. My chain of command eventually gave up on dinging me for my boot polish because they knew they were never going to win that battle.

You can never beat Midwestern stubbornness. Best you can hope for is a draw.

[pseudohippie]

Them talking about moving to the Midwest while a kid with a mullet is in the background is absolutely perfect.

[KreakCars]

First day on a new job I always show up with my 5 year old boots. Especially for interviews! After a week or two I break out the newer ariats

[gabesandvig]

I love your stuff Charlie. From North Dakota to Wisconsin, thank you.


Thanks for all the likes. 96 in 10 days, thanks everyone. Keep er movin and watch for deer now😁

[anovosedlik]

This is literally the EXACT same as up here in Canada! Especially the beer conundrum

[kimosahbe]

Not saying goodbye saves hours of life.

[RelaxingPlatypus]

Instead of “well, I spose” I say “okay, well I think we need to get rolling out here soon…”

It leads to the same 45 minute conversation either way. But yeah, you can Irish goodbye it, even though we’re all dying to. You can’t forget to hug Aunt Shirley goodbye either or it’s all you’ll hear through Christmas.

I’m not midwestern, but I don’t think anyone told my family that 😂❤
