If I’m in a room with people I know and I plan to leave the room for a long time, I tell them where I’m going. If it’s for a short time I do not.

What (if anything) is an appropriate time scale to leave a room without announcing when/if you’ll be back?

    Time doesnt really matter. The way to exit is pound your drink, shatter glass on floor, say “later bitches”, chicken strut out the door.

    Always depends on context. If you are out somewhere it is good to let them know so they don’t think you left to go home. If its at somebody elseshouse probably no need to mention, if you are the host then good to let this m know if you had something that will take you away for extended period so they aren’t left wondering. Read the room/situations.

    Like yeah maybe it kind of depends what environment and what people you’re talking about. When I’m in the waiting room at the bus station I don’t tell anyone anything about where I’m going or how long I’m going to be gone because it’s not their business. And when I’m leaving work to go home at 4:30 or whatever, I say goodbye, and I don’t tell people that I’ll be back tomorrow at 8:30, because it’s kind of obvious unless it’s the weekend and then it’s still kind of obvious. So what are you even talking about? I’m just not following.

    Leave when/how you want and let them figure it all out when you’re gone.

    They don’t pay rent for my basement, they don’t pay me for my time, they deserve nothing. Less then nothing. They should be grateful I am even around to leave in the first place.
