It’s Christmas party season, which means it’s time to remind you that you should probably be leaving parties (especially work ones) early. It’s also time to discuss a gesture that has as many names as there are lazy ethnic stereotypes about European nationalities. You might know it as the Irish goodbye, the French exit, or maybe something else. Why do people leave social gatherings without saying goodbye? And are they…right to do so?
