And once you do get out the door, don't forget about the hour and a half conversation in the parking lot!

[abbiesmith]

*slaps legs and starts to stand up* "All right well"
-"Ya I suppose"

[jessebruner]

Dude like for real. Once was "leaving" at midnight. I literally had my shoes on and stood at the door talking until 4am.

A 4 hour goodbye.

The midwest goodbye is the art of holding someone hostage in a socially acceptable manner. LOL

[SleepyWeasle]

The ole Midwest goodbye. Yup, gotta plan the time in advance...

"We'll get you out on the boat this year" pulled out some deep seeded memories I didn't realize I had

[scoutfish]

It's the rhubarb that really nails the Wisconsin aspect

Eh wrap it up, we'll be leaving in a little bit.
(....hour and a half later.)
Okay kids let's go.

Things heard throughout childhood. 🤣

“It’s 2pm now, we’ll only go over for an hour which means we’re home at around 5pm”
- an actual quote from my dad making us visit his golfing buddies

Boss: "You're late for work"
Charlie: "Yah, I was sayin' goodbye"
Boss: "Oh, got it."

They forgot to move to the driveway and talk another half hour

What about in winter when you put your jacket on and stand by the door sweating for 40 minutes?

[kevinl]

Start your goodbyes a couple hours before you actually leave. That’s when the conversation really gets flowing. You will also have the host’s full attention.

I was warned of this at a Brewers game! Im a solo female traveler and I got a little chummy with the folks seated around me. They would hardly let me leave until I convinced them how I was getting back to my Airbnb and that if I needed anything I could call them. Hospitality folks... at a BASEBALL game!

[jethrob]

I suppose, it never counted until it was mentioned three times or so. And then the 30 minutes in the driveway with the window down.

"We'll gechoo out on dah boat dis year"

[thekevpaulshow]

I am from Boston and can spot a mid-westerner a mile away. Such great people that I have a strong desire to move there, despite the fact that I don't love long winters. You people are awesome out that way.

Mom: "We're leaving in 5 minutes"
Me to my friend: "Yes! Another half hour!"

[TourPace]

"I'll the the Uber driver to look out for deer".  I just died.

* spends half an hour standing at the door talking before someone actually leaves *

* says goodbye at least 4 times before you actually get out the door *

* realizes you forgot your family member so then you gotta go find them and start the whole process over again *
