Balkan Goodbye

When you are trying to leave the party and after announcing your departure, the group is trying to convince you to stay. Followed by individuals that didn’t participate in the group discussion, asking you why are you going and also convincing you to stay. Often offering another drink. Life updates and last minute questions frequently used as a last resort holdup tactic. Expected average is 7-15 debates per event.

You messaged me that you will be home at 1:30 AM, and it’s 4 AM now. What happened? I had a proper balkan goodbye.
