100% Accurate. When Mom says "we're leaving soon, better get ready to go," she really means "We're leaving sometime this century, next century at the latest."
I'm gonna remember that quote when I go to a New Year's Eve party on December 31, 2099. "We'll be leaving sometime this century, or next century at the latest." Gonna be SO worth the wait.
Yep...my own mother actually spent an hour and a half on the phone with a wrong number. After they figured out in the first 15 that they were not who they thought they were, they continued to talk. While we were laughing at her she said it was the best conversation she had had in months. This was the 90's. People don't get wrong numbers now much.
I've learned, through MANY of these goodbyes, you have to just stop talking, start saying your goodbyes, ease out to the car, inch by inch, get in it and drive off.😂
I have GOT to train a Polish friend to do Southern goodbyes. When we go out, or he's over at my parents' house, he will announce that he needs to go and then he'll get up and leave. Just like that. It's very disconcerting and disorienting--like jumping into a pool in the middle of winter or quitting an addiction cold turkey. I'm just not mentally prepared for his sudden departure. My mother and I have to gang up on him when this happens and one of us hold him back or block his exit while the other one starts loading Tupperware and lobbing leftovers at him as fast as possible. At Christmas, I literally ran out and stopped him from driving away to ask him if he wanted some bread to go with the rest of his leftovers. Packing up the leftovers had been such a rush job, I had forgotten about it. Goodbyes need a minimum of three last calls, starting at least 30 minutes before departure on regular visits and 1 hour in advance on holidays and other special occasions.
Think of it from his perspective though. I'm assuming you and the Polish guy are both currently living in the USA. So everything for him is different, the culture is very different, people's values are different, what is considered important and not are different... I'm sure he misses at least some things about his home culture, even if he likes it better here. Living in a different country/culture than your own is hard. You're constantly making mistakes - nothing's ever easy! You have to actively think about and remember to do (or not do) little things that make up what culture is. And often you make mistakes you're not even aware of, because there are some things people living in a culture don't even realize are part of culture and not a humanity-wide thing, so no one ever thought to tell you! You have to remind yourself to not get offended at things other people do or say that would be offensive in your culture, even though you really want to get offended! It's all exhausting at times. If it's normal for him to get up and leave, why not be that one friend who he's comfortable enough with that he can do that? Why force southern culture down his throat? I know it's the opinion of many people that "if you're going to live here, you should act like us", but it's just not as easy as some people think. Sometimes it's nice to just be yourself. I say this all from experience, having lived in Asia for 4 years.
My mother-in-law is a native Texan, and that's exactly how she is. My husband and I have to tag team: one blocks the exit while the other runs into the kitchen for Tupperware. She always seems surprised when we hand her a tower of leftovers, too, and I thought it was a Southern tradition. (I'm from the rural Midwest. It's definitely a tradition there.)
@@angelawagner3181 Texans aren't Southerners; they're Texans. Now, they do some of the same stuff Southerners do, but in the end, a Texan is going to Tex and that's all there is to it. Although I am surprised about your MIL and a quick departure without leftovers. I don't think that's likely a common Texan thing, though. Could be a regional variation, or maybe her parents were not natives, so they raised her differently?
Poor guy, just let him leave 😂 Otherwise he might develop some form of anxiety (or Stockholm Syndrome - you never know). In Germany it's pretty much the same. If you say that you will leave now you will leave now. It's not considered rude. 😉
This could not be more true, esp on holidays. A southern good bye involves making sure you offer to help clean up, gonna need to pee "real quick" before you get on the road, take that one last picture... then delete it and try again, then her momma is going to follow y'all to the car and make sure everyone is buckled in then make plans for later, etc
Then everyone still there will all wave as you pull out, followed by Mawmaw hollerin' "Y'all come back soon!" Source: Every visit to my Mawmaw and Pawpaw Pete's house since I can remember.
It’s February, and at least six houses on our street (including ours) in New England have at least a few Christmas lights still on at night. At least we took out our (real) tree on January 18. What can I say? We’re a cheerful bunch.
True story, I live in Texas and saw the last situation actually unfold in front of my eyes once. The homeowner apparently knew the Sheriff's deputy that was putting a suspect into the back of his patrol car and she walked out, gave him a tupperware container filled with peach cobbler, and talked with him for 15 to 20 minutes.
A Rainbow vacuum guy came to our house one Saturday trying to sell my mom a vacuum. She already had one. Anyway, they started talking about Jesus. My dad was getting annoyed and wanted the guy to go home because by now it's 7:00. My mom wouldn't let Dad be rude. Then, she starts baking a cake. I had to leave to go babysit and came back home after midnight. The guy had just left minutes before. My dad was pissed. And yes, my mom gave the guy a slice of cake and I'm sure they had coffee as well😂
This totally sounds like family reunions in Minnesota. You try to leave, they’re like oh yeah we needed to tell you I’ll get you this. And then you leave like an hour later or something. Or you’re like we’re just going to stop by for 15 minutes. 15 minutes turns into two hours or something. LOL
Sunshine Yeah I think this is pretty much a universal thing for all rural, small town areas of the United States, it’s just especially true with the South and Midwest because they’re both very heavily rural/small town regions. Wouldn’t have it any other way though.
TRUTH! My son asked me to call him an Uber from a family member's house back home. I asked him, have you said your goodbyes yet, because it looks like an Uber can be there in about 10 minutes (to be on the safe side, I waited 10 minutes before getting one to buy him some time because I knew the goodbye was going to take longer than he thought). He said , he had not and how long could it possibly take to say goodbye, and that he would be right outside waiting on the Uber. The Uber gets there and he had still not managed to say his goodbyes and I had to call him to tell him the Uber driver had been waiting for 5 minutes. He said he was trying to get outside but was held up at the door trying to make his way from the kitchen to the front door and it took longer than he thought. I told him, he should have known better. He was born/raised in the south. 🤪
I'm born and raised Southern but the heat affected my health and I had to move up north, to s. Wisconsin. This reminds me of people not knowing how to deal with me XD *Random converstation in a gas station I'm suppose to be saying goodbye and leave* Me= "Thank you" cashier= "You're welcome" Me= "Have a good day" Cashier= "You too" Me= "Stay warm, it's suppose to get really" Cashier= "Really?" Me= "yeah, a cold front is on its way and its going to be in single digits." … then I go on tangent and start a different path of conversation XD
I'm not even from the US but I think I'd fit right in in the South. My kids moaned for 20 years that I could make friends with Godzilla! 😂 And they were always so embarrassed that I would talk with "randoms". My husband, on the other hand, thinks it's a gift. He's a director of Information Services and a typical genius with computers but not great with small talk. He's a lovely man but social situations with people he doesn't know terrify him.. Me - let me at them! I've taught him over the years how to converse with people and what to ask them to get them chatting. He said I've advanced his career substantially by being charming to everyone. Everyone has their gift!
yes we were check in on my uncles house on time and a neighbor stop never met him but we know the same people was only there an hour but he said better left you get back to what you were doing 3 time then his wife call then he left.
Kesha Heffron Aunt Bee definitely knew how to cook, take care of everyone, and demonstrate Southern hospitality and honest raising! Remember the episode about the smooth talking con man? What shameful actions and a waste of good food!
Kesha Heffron Unfortunately, I don't have as much time to catch up on the classics as I'd like, but was that the episode where water was poured on him? If not, I'll have to watch that episode!
I'm getting flashbacks of summer cookouts. If you needed to be somewhere else, you started saying your goodbyes at least an hour before you had to leave. There's no way you could just yell a generic goodbye to everyone on your way to your car. And God help the person who was foolish enough to try and sneak away...
“A typical southern horror story” setting: you are at your aunt’s house who you haven’t visited in 6 years because they are in a different state. Of course they don’t have anything fun to do, no other kids to play with, and your phone/ devices only have 1 hour of battery. Your charger is in your car, but your mom won’t let you get it. Me: “mom I’m bored of these random stranger’s house, can we leave?” Mom: “In a few minutes” *7 hours later* (No I’m not joking, this actually happened. 7 hours of talking.) Mom: “Sorry that took so long, I hadn’t talked to her for a while!” Me: *crying on the inside*
Can't you go out side it was like that growing up when my family and I went to granny and grandad's before they passed. My siblings played in the woods out back and I either watched traffic pass on the porch swing or played with sticks and the mud in the backyard
This is my version 😂 Setting: Your at your aunt's house Plot: Your leaving and about to walk out the door. Your aunt just found something very interesting on the news since she is a very political person she goes and tells your parents and can't help but go on a rant about it for 10 hours. Once you finally get in your car she comes and your parents roll down the window and she starts talking again for another 5 hours.
I think my mom has contracted southernitis because whenever she talks to people, she too yammers on and on even after she says she has to go. My mom is originally from Boston, but has lived in the south for over 20 years
When I moved out west and people said goodbye and just left, I thought it was extremely rude. Then I came to realize it's just a culture thing but I'm still not used to it. I want to tell them to slow down and take a breather, don't be in such a big hurry all the time. Have some pie!
We stay out West sometimes when traveling for work and it's torture! Its not just different culture, they are downright rude and need a good old fashioned southern backhanding!
@@southerngirl6398 To me, staying for hours after the hosts' bedtime is horribly rude. Staying for hours after saying goodbye is rude. If you're that lonely, get a damn dog.
@@edennis8578 while, yes it can be rude, it could also be the host talking and thinking of things too talk about. And if it is family friends or even family then usually in the South it ain't so rude any more because y'all could be catching up cause you haven't seen each other in a very long time. My family had friends that where about an hour's drive from us and sometimes the only time we really got to see them was on a Saturday drive and we would stop by to visit in the afternoon and would not leave until sometime between 9:30pm and midnight (and 9:30pm was really early. Usually it would be at least 10pm before we left). So, we would see them like every 3-6 months or more and so those times where special. Also, God sometimes makes things last a little bit longer because He knows if it doesn't then something terrible might happen that would not lead others to Him. There have been many times where my family was delayed somehow someway and it saved us. All because it was in God's timing.
Grew up in Mississippi. I have lived in Houston, Florida and Indiana. Took me a while to learn that you just can't wave at everyone you drive past or your hand would fall off.
My family reunions during thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter were ALWAYS like this. We never would leave even when if we had plans early in the morning.
This is the realest thing I have ever seen on TH-cam. As the introvert in the family, I can spend WELL over 45 minutes telling folks goodbye - and I bring a book so I can read for AT LEAST another hour in the car before the rest of the family comes. Then we honest to God restart the goodbyes when everyone makes it to the car.....
And then follow them as the vehicle slowing inches out of the drive way still saying goodbye. My grandfather did that all the time. Longest amount of time we sat in the driveway was an hour.
Depends on the preacher. Most pastors I've had are pretty good about keeping the sermons about 30 minutes - 1 hour. But I did have one preacher on a club (boy scout/girl scout type of club) campout one time that took about three hours to preach his sermon. We still had to go back to our campsites to eat lunch and then after lunch do other activities. Our director and many of the other moms from our club where back at camp preparing lunch for the club while the rest of us where at church service. The pastor had an original time to preach between 30 minutes - 1 hour maybe even 1 hour 30 minutes at most. Earlier during the flag raising I had been stung by a wasp so I had been going back and forth during the service to camp to get ice for my sting. Well, after a while The pastor started to say "five more minutes.....(20 minutes later) five more minutes...." So I (having been raised in the South) decided that I would quit being rude by going to get ice and stay at camp until the service was over. When I got back the director asked if it was finally over and I told her no and that he (the pastor) was still preaching. The only reason the sermon was not longer was because the director of my club told me to tell the assistant director to send our kids back to camp to eat. (Mind you, we had about 15 kids in the club and about just as many adults.) So, the assistant director started having me send 1, 2, & 3 people at a time to go back to camp past the bathrooms. While the club was "sneaking" off the pastor started to realize we weren't coming back. So he started to say things like "hold on I'm almost done. Just give me a couple (or five, Forgot which) more minutes." By the time it was the assistant director and I the pastor was finally having the closing prayer. Our club was lucky that the director and moms of the club was there because when we got back to camp all we had to do was eat and clean up, while many of the other clubs still had to prepare and cook their food. Funny thing, is I remember the sermon was on the Fruit of the Spirit. (Not that it was a bad sermon or anything. It was just extremely long. Especially as a very hungry kids who had to sit in very uncomfortable chairs with a pastor who kept saying "five more minutes" for the past 2 or more hours.)(he preached about 2-3 hours past his allotted time.)
Born and raised Californian here and I have to say, your videos are so funny, entertaining, and relatable. Yes, even a CA gal has been through this. Keep em comin guys!!!
As a polynesian this is very true for us. When growing up, my brother and I knew we were actually leaving when we would see our parents heading towards the car. If we heard "Come on we're leaving" but, they are still sitting at the table or in the living room. We knew we would be there for another 3hrs.
I'm from Botswana. I must say this is typical mom behaviour. 🤣🤞🏾. When I was a lil kid, my mom would walk the guests out to their car (a process that took roughly 30mins). Then they would recall something the guest needs to see/get from the house and the process would start over again 🙄.
My older brother Rickey always makes a point of saying as soon as he gets to my aunt's house in Homer Georgia that he has to leave at 3pm to get back to Charlotte N.C. in time to get ready for work the next day,he sometimes can actually pull out by 4 which is probably his actual true deadline.
THIS IS SOOO TRUE. Visits with family, friends, after Sunday services, after Sunday dinner at Grandma's (or Aunt *****'s) house and let's not forget the class reunion! And, no, it really doesn't matter which one, 1st or 50 plus.
This southerner is guilty as charged! I'd have a nice conversation while waiting in line at Wal-Mart and when we'd get to the car my kids would ask me, "mama, who was that?" to which I'd say, "I don't know". So if it's friends or family, this video is perfect!🤣🤣🤣
At partys for Christmas or something this is my parents and me and my brother all the time They would say "where getting ready to go" and I would be sitting there and about 2 hours later we finally walk outside and than stay out there for another 1 or 2 hours
I have lived in the South and I have lived in the North (which is where I reside now.) There is a common thread with MOST of the videos. I know people from their parts of the country tend to be proud of their "heritage " and I am NOT saying that one is better than the other. I think that most of the topics hit by this channel can also be a city/county thing. Like this video, in the North, the announcement to go is followed by at least 20 minutes of conversation. Then, you kinda gather your things and "door talk" for a long while longer. Then you move out by the vehicle...it's the same thing. It's like the tin with the sewing supplies...same thing in the North down to the tin. I think that there are more things in common than we realize. Y'all are glad that you aren't dealing with all the snow...and my husband is glad that his chance of dealing with a poisonous snake is very little.
I grew up in Southern IL and was raised Southern Baptist. So, at least Southern adjacent :) . I truly get most of the things in these sketches. Sundays at church were especially bad for this. The only thing that got everyone out the door eventually is the fact that that they were meeting at and competing for seats at the local fried chicken buffet. The Lord be with us if we accidentally saw someone from church at Kmart after that conversations could start all over again.
Totally true! Usually plan for about an hour to say goodbye. You have to stand, then move to kitchen, stop again in the garage & then one last goodbye at the car. AND you must wave bye as you are pulling out.
Oh my, been there. Lots of memories of getting ready to leave a freinds house, and another subject coming up that we all hang out to talk about for another half hour.
100% Accurate. When Mom says "we're leaving soon, better get ready to go," she really means "We're leaving sometime this century, next century at the latest."

My signal is I use mom’s shoulder as a headrest, usually I can get her out in about 10min after that
Where's the Southern hospitality? Not offering the suspects a slice of pie, and leaving them to expect jail food! Another great video y'all!
Remember on the Andy Griffith Show Aunt Bee always brought food to the people in jail!
Kesha Heffron
Aunt Bee definitely knew how to cook, take care of everyone, and demonstrate Southern hospitality and honest raising! Remember the episode about the smooth talking con man? What shameful actions and a waste of good food!
Yes! And I love the episode where Otis had to stay any their house, instead of the jail. By the end, Aunt Bee's house was known as "The Rock".

Unfortunately, I don't have as much time to catch up on the classics as I'd like, but was that the episode where water was poured on him? If not, I'll have to watch that episode!
@@laceydo4542 Yes! That is it!
Me, being the introvert, I am the guys in the van waiting for the goodbyes to end.😂
Same.
yep
Lol same here, I'm from the south but a worst nightmare for the introverts. It's like just give me the fast get away. Lol
Scullery Maid Same!!
After doing it for so many years, i have mastered the get away. It isn’t a skill, it’s an art.😆
I’ve never related to anything else more 😂😂
The criminals were never sentenced because the woman knew the judge too, & was also offered pie.
I'm getting flashbacks of summer cookouts. If you needed to be somewhere else, you started saying your goodbyes at least an hour before you had to leave. There's no way you could just yell a generic goodbye to everyone on your way to your car. And God help the person who was foolish enough to try and sneak away...
I'm not southern but for the person who tried to sneak away , bless their ❤️.
We say bye to my grandma and then we all slowly move to the door while talking. Eventually we get in the car and were still saying bye 😂
My grandparents would cling to the car goodbye ing us for 90 minutes until my dad would say we gotta go before we run out of gas...today.
“A typical southern horror story”
setting: you are at your aunt’s house who you haven’t visited in 6 years because they are in a different state. Of course they don’t have anything fun to do, no other kids to play with, and your phone/ devices only have 1 hour of battery. Your charger is in your car, but your mom won’t let you get it.
Me: “mom I’m bored of these random stranger’s house, can we leave?”
Mom: “In a few minutes”
*7 hours later* (No I’m not joking, this actually happened. 7 hours of talking.)
Mom: “Sorry that took so long, I hadn’t talked to her for a while!”
Me: *crying on the inside*
My deepest condolences.
Can't you go out side it was like that growing up when my family and I went to granny and grandad's before they passed. My siblings played in the woods out back and I either watched traffic pass on the porch swing or played with sticks and the mud in the backyard
I lived that in the time before smart phones. So I didn't even have the hour of use.
This is my version 😂
Setting: Your at your aunt's house
Plot: Your leaving and about to walk out the door. Your aunt just found something very interesting on the news since she is a very political person she goes and tells your parents and can't help but go on a rant about it for 10 hours. Once you finally get in your car she comes and your parents roll down the window and she starts talking again for another 5 hours.
Goodbye starts all over again when they get to the car - LMAO!!!
Soooo accurate!
Love From Mississippi! 🌷🌺🌸❤️
This one was a classic. I couldn't stop laughing 😂
🌴☀️🌴
Okay, this is really funny and we don't do this in NYC. We run for the door like rabbits on fire. :D
I think my mom has contracted southernitis because whenever she talks to people, she too yammers on and on even after she says she has to go. My mom is originally from Boston, but has lived in the south for over 20 years
It never ends, just like the song that never ends
@Lydia Wester 🤭
Lambchop!!
Elise Ecklund sang this song. I think it's a good idea to look her up.
@@hadley8519
Yes, but Lambchop made it eternal.
I haven't heard of anyone who have watched that besides my family until now
My mom takes no less than 5 hours to say goodbye. I arrive early just to make up for the southern goodbye she has. Love her though.
Lol this reminds me of people talking at the end of church. It instantly turns into second service but without the pastor preaching 😂
Can we get an Amen?! Lol
@@tracigresham7164 Amen, Hallelujah! 🙌 Lol
@@Thred31 😊👍
This happens when I call my mom for 5-10 minutes. It suddenly turns into 45 minutes.
WizardToby My mother is the same way. You need to have the patience of a saint to deal with that.
This is why I sneak out and have them wondering "Where'd he go??"
That’s why when mama says we’re leaving soon I figure it’s gonna be another 2-3 hrs
When I moved out west and people said goodbye and just left, I thought it was extremely rude. Then I came to realize it's just a culture thing but I'm still not used to it. I want to tell them to slow down and take a breather, don't be in such a big hurry all the time. Have some pie!
I moved west to. Such an adjustment!
We stay out West sometimes when traveling for work and it's torture! Its not just different culture, they are downright rude and need a good old fashioned southern backhanding!
@@southerngirl6398 To me, staying for hours after the hosts' bedtime is horribly rude. Staying for hours after saying goodbye is rude. If you're that lonely, get a damn dog.
@@edennis8578 while, yes it can be rude, it could also be the host talking and thinking of things too talk about. And if it is family friends or even family then usually in the South it ain't so rude any more because y'all could be catching up cause you haven't seen each other in a very long time. My family had friends that where about an hour's drive from us and sometimes the only time we really got to see them was on a Saturday drive and we would stop by to visit in the afternoon and would not leave until sometime between 9:30pm and midnight (and 9:30pm was really early. Usually it would be at least 10pm before we left). So, we would see them like every 3-6 months or more and so those times where special. Also, God sometimes makes things last a little bit longer because He knows if it doesn't then something terrible might happen that would not lead others to Him. There have been many times where my family was delayed somehow someway and it saved us. All because it was in God's timing.
Grew up in Mississippi. I have lived in Houston, Florida and Indiana. Took me a while to learn that you just can't wave at everyone you drive past or your hand would fall off.
Couldn't agree more w ya'lls saying "So true y'all."
Fun Fact: The etymology of "Goodbye" comes from the phrase "God be with you."
or "God, let this encounter be over!"
I always tell my husband "God be with you" whenever we part! ❤️
@@FaithfulPracticalHomesteading creepy
@@Marcel_Audubon 🤣 no it isn't. It's a little formal but not creepy.
@@lifewitholga_ it's creepy to anyone who's not a nut job ... are you a nut job, Olga?
Andy looks so happy and proud of himself. He deserves that pie 😉
This is a certified fact.
There's a reason why things move slower in the South 😉
Kimberly G. And we’re back to that.
My family reunions during thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter were ALWAYS like this. We never would leave even when if we had plans early in the morning.
Nail on the head! A true Southern child trains in patience very early 😉
I feel slightly called out
😂🤣
This is the realest thing I have ever seen on TH-cam. As the introvert in the family, I can spend WELL over 45 minutes telling folks goodbye - and I bring a book so I can read for AT LEAST another hour in the car before the rest of the family comes. Then we honest to God restart the goodbyes when everyone makes it to the car.....
Ahh! Memories. These videos are priceless. And funny. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"No more pie," said no-one ever.
One of the most dreaded things to hear as a child was " hop in the car we're gonna go visit Aint Anne". Always felt like a month of Sundays
The 3 stages of saying goodbye: moving towards the door bit by bit, standing on the porch, then out at the car! Lol! Yup, every time!
it is rude not to walk out to the car with departing guests.
And then follow them as the vehicle slowing inches out of the drive way still saying goodbye. My grandfather did that all the time. Longest amount of time we sat in the driveway was an hour.
I love how he’s just crying on the ground, going, “pleeeease, no pie!”
Took a lil break from a 2019 goodbye to watch this 😁
It's the same in church, when the preacher says "To sum up my message" you've got another 30 minutes to go
Depends on the preacher. Most pastors I've had are pretty good about keeping the sermons about 30 minutes - 1 hour. But I did have one preacher on a club (boy scout/girl scout type of club) campout one time that took about three hours to preach his sermon. We still had to go back to our campsites to eat lunch and then after lunch do other activities. Our director and many of the other moms from our club where back at camp preparing lunch for the club while the rest of us where at church service. The pastor had an original time to preach between 30 minutes - 1 hour maybe even 1 hour 30 minutes at most. Earlier during the flag raising I had been stung by a wasp so I had been going back and forth during the service to camp to get ice for my sting. Well, after a while The pastor started to say "five more minutes.....(20 minutes later) five more minutes...." So I (having been raised in the South) decided that I would quit being rude by going to get ice and stay at camp until the service was over. When I got back the director asked if it was finally over and I told her no and that he (the pastor) was still preaching. The only reason the sermon was not longer was because the director of my club told me to tell the assistant director to send our kids back to camp to eat. (Mind you, we had about 15 kids in the club and about just as many adults.) So, the assistant director started having me send 1, 2, & 3 people at a time to go back to camp past the bathrooms. While the club was "sneaking" off the pastor started to realize we weren't coming back. So he started to say things like "hold on I'm almost done. Just give me a couple (or five, Forgot which) more minutes." By the time it was the assistant director and I the pastor was finally having the closing prayer. Our club was lucky that the director and moms of the club was there because when we got back to camp all we had to do was eat and clean up, while many of the other clubs still had to prepare and cook their food. Funny thing, is I remember the sermon was on the Fruit of the Spirit. (Not that it was a bad sermon or anything. It was just extremely long. Especially as a very hungry kids who had to sit in very uncomfortable chairs with a pastor who kept saying "five more minutes" for the past 2 or more hours.)(he preached about 2-3 hours past his allotted time.)
As a southerner, I can confirm that this is true
Born and raised Californian here and I have to say, your videos are so funny, entertaining, and relatable. Yes, even a CA gal has been through this. Keep em comin guys!!!
Why is this true-😂
JUST TAKE ME TO JAIL ALREADY
PERFECTION, as usual! Thank you, you always make my day!
As a polynesian this is very true for us. When growing up, my brother and I knew we were actually leaving when we would see our parents heading towards the car. If we heard "Come on we're leaving" but, they are still sitting at the table or in the living room. We knew we would be there for another 3hrs.
I'm from Botswana. I must say this is typical mom behaviour. 🤣🤞🏾. When I was a lil kid, my mom would walk the guests out to their car (a process that took roughly 30mins). Then they would recall something the guest needs to see/get from the house and the process would start over again 🙄.
Pie has the magical ability to extend time. Fact.💙
🤣😂 Hillarious... So true, I just love this channel! 💗
So accurate. This is the best channel.
My older brother Rickey always makes a point of saying as soon as he gets to my aunt's house in Homer Georgia that he has to leave at 3pm to get back to Charlotte N.C. in time to get ready for work the next day,he sometimes can actually pull out by 4 which is probably his actual true deadline.
Love this new video ! So hilarious!👍🏼👍🏼
Look at the bright side! Maybe the judge would count the time waiting as "time served".. lol
THIS IS SOOO TRUE. Visits with family, friends, after Sunday services, after Sunday dinner at Grandma's (or Aunt *****'s) house and let's not forget the class reunion! And, no, it really doesn't matter which one, 1st or 50 plus.
That's funny y'all, thank you so much. Your videos are what I look forward to when I check my subscriptions. Keep them coming.
THIS is why I love being a Southerner!
Lord have mercy this was my whole life growing up lol
And now, its my childrens lives 😂
Bless their hearts!! 💕
Total truth....this is how goodbyes in my southern family ran
Thank you! I so needed this laugh today.👍
I read the title and already i was like "oh this is so true" 😂😂
That’s was a really good skit! So true that it takes forever to say goodbye 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The TV show is going to AWESOME! Ya'll are the best!!
I’m laughing so hard I’m crying!!! “Oh, no! No pieeee! Just take us to jail already! (Sob)” 🤣😂
Church service ends at noon, but it's about 1pm before you get out after all the goodbyes.
love from Tennessee ❤️
This southerner is guilty as charged! I'd have a nice conversation while waiting in line at Wal-Mart and when we'd get to the car my kids would ask me, "mama, who was that?" to which I'd say, "I don't know". So if it's friends or family, this video is perfect!🤣🤣🤣
Very accrutet
Mom: we are leaving in 5 mins
Me: ok
(A few hours later)
Mom we are leaving
At partys for Christmas or something this is my parents and me and my brother all the time
They would say "where getting ready to go" and I would be sitting there and about 2 hours later we finally walk outside and than stay out there for another 1 or 2 hours
LMFAO! I'm West Indian and we're guilty of the long ass goodbyes too. Bwahahahaaaa! 😂😂😂😂
I have lived in the South and I have lived in the North (which is where I reside now.) There is a common thread with MOST of the videos. I know people from their parts of the country tend to be proud of their "heritage " and I am NOT saying that one is better than the other. I think that most of the topics hit by this channel can also be a city/county thing. Like this video, in the North, the announcement to go is followed by at least 20 minutes of conversation. Then, you kinda gather your things and "door talk" for a long while longer. Then you move out by the vehicle...it's the same thing. It's like the tin with the sewing supplies...same thing in the North down to the tin. I think that there are more things in common than we realize. Y'all are glad that you aren't dealing with all the snow...and my husband is glad that his chance of dealing with a poisonous snake is very little.
You forgot waving til they're out of sight.😂 🖐🏻
This at church...
This is so true! When my mom is on the phone, even after they say good bye they're still on the phone for 10 more minutes!
Yall are soooo awesome I love this channel and everyone on it.
This is my family
This is so true of the south (my current home) and the midwest (where I was born)! Wouldn't see any of this in California.
You would in rural areas. I always fit in with rural folks because my Mama was from Arkansas and taught me right.
0:11 "What did I tell you, The short hand is the hour!" Priceless
I grew up in Southern IL and was raised Southern Baptist. So, at least Southern adjacent :) . I truly get most of the things in these sketches. Sundays at church were especially bad for this. The only thing that got everyone out the door eventually is the fact that that they were meeting at and competing for seats at the local fried chicken buffet. The Lord be with us if we accidentally saw someone from church at Kmart after that conversations could start all over again.
This is me trying to get off the phone with my mama.
Same here
My mama when’s she trying to get off the phone with my aunt boy she’s a talker
"How's your momma n'nem?"
Trust me, you haven’t learned long goodbyes until you come up to Minnesota 😂
The hand on the hip waiting was perfect. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
so,I’m Not The Only Southerner Who Doesn’t Know How to Tell Time,That Definitely Makes me Feel Better
Totally true! Usually plan for about an hour to say goodbye. You have to stand, then move to kitchen, stop again in the garage & then one last goodbye at the car. AND you must wave bye as you are pulling out.
Oh my, been there. Lots of memories of getting ready to leave a freinds house, and another subject coming up that we all hang out to talk about for another half hour.
