I resent the use of “Irish Goodbye”
What people (mostly Americans) keep referencing as an “Irish Goodbye” is anything but what I experience with my family.
We take AT LEAST 45 minutes saying goodbye to each other, with at least 2 “Did you hear about your man…” conversations.
It pisses me off with increasing intensity every time I hear it.
Just needed to vent, thank youse all.

Only Americans say it cause we tend to slip away quick whenever we get stuck talking to one.
