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”
That’s cool. I can’t think of menu low context cultures in any national scales, but definitely a few subcultures in the US.
Korea on the other hand is the epitome of high context culture.
MMmMMMMmmm thank you for that scrumptious link
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.
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 Poland you just tell them there’s no more vodka.
Are you supposed to refuse the rice, or leave after eating the rice?
Refuse and it’s the cue to leave
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. 🤔
The door is open and the broom is visible between the wall and the door
Carrie Fisher would have her copy of the Star Wars Holiday Special if she wanted everyone to leave.
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
What would stop a friend from stealth living with you then?
I always want to leave but don’t wanna be rude so as soon as the host says “Wh-” I’m up and out the door.
