A good ole "WELL" with a slap on their knee as they stand up is a classic universal way, at least for americans, of letting guests know you're ready for them to leave. Ive visited folk on the west coast, east coast, and the Midwest and center region of America who all do this commonly.
I just be like, “Alright y’all , I gotta get ready to do all the things & get ready for tomorrow” that and a “please get home safe”. Very upfront when I need to shut it down for the evening! 🙏🏽
I respect the honesty. If you were my guest. I'd tell you go get some rest. It was nice seeing you. People should be moreover glad for the time they did get to spend together
i can’t believe people are so polite while telling the guests to leave my aunts just straight up says “well now i love y’all but now it’s time to get the hell out of my house” but she sends us off with hugs tho lol
my northern black grandma says “i don’t care where you go, but you do have to get out of here” and turns the music off, starts cleaning and everyone is gone😭
As a South African the hang either ends with someone dying from alcohol poisoning or if we're having dinner "Julle kan fok af huis toe asseblief, lief julle."
My aunt did this to me and my family when we drove all the way from Colorado to Texas to visit them for Christmas. We could tell they didn’t want us there, but when my 500 pound cousin brought out the broom, we knew it was time for us to leave.
Right like be an adult you know tell me my presence is not welcomed and because that broom is upside down I will now be leaving my demons with y’all so get comfortable. 😂😂😂😂😂😂

"welp I spose" is for if you're sick of a situation and want to leave but your trying to be nice about it the "welp it's about that time I spose" is for kicking other people out with kindness
I was hanging out with someone new. And she said "whenever I want y'all to leave I'm just gonna go to sleep. My bf will lock the door behind you." And then a few hours later, she really did just roll over and go to sleep. And I was like alright, fair enough.

@@cademancaden it still applies. The more adult way is to communicate and ask how long they were planning on staying and if it’s not what you want then negotiate on a date to leave, especially if you’re the host. Not putting a broom upside down and thinking everyone knows what that means

Bro I’d be too scared and in my family even in my neighborhood we don’t say get out we say “it’s getting late ain’t it?” Or a yawn and stretch but the best one is “damn it’s dark outside”

In the Midwest we just slap our knee and say, "welp," and that initiates the end of visit sequence. To be fair that sequence may take an hour, but telling them to gtfo won't work any faster.
I'm from Iowa and we call it the "long midwest goodbye". My Grandmother was famous for it, she would follow you out to the car talking to you and saying goodbye but then she would ask about the car and....it took forever and I wish she was still here to follow me out..❤
My therapist was trained by an old guy in the Midwest, this is now how I know my therapy is supposed to be over. I asked him to just tell me instead, but he can’t, he does it every time. W
Before my grandma would get off the phone she say well listen honey and that’s how I always knew she was ready to get off the phone lol. R.I.P grandma love you 😊
That’s so weird. They should be the ones embarrassed for lacking communication skills lol. No need to be humiliated, just because they aren’t grown enough to be direct and say they are done socializing. Give the other party a chance to be grown enough to say cool, I’ll catch you later, and leave. Nobody needs to have hurt feelings about it lol.
My grandma used to say Imma let y’all get home now 😂😂 I remember if she got up and started to head to the front door, you knew that was your cue to leave.
Dont worry it's not a hint it's a superstition. People don't do it in front of their guest. They do it secretly because they think it will magicaly make their guest leave
As someone who doesn't know how to tell my family to leave, I just go to bed. Then I wake up at 3AM to go toilet, discover they are still chatting in my living room, then go back to sleep. No wonder my counselor is telling me I need to be stronger with my boundaries.
I do that all the time. I just think of it as continuing to be a good host by providing them with an environment/space they can relax, talk, and hang out in while also taking care of my needs. Lol I just never care if people stay but my time entertaining them has come to an end.
@@xaviersmith5154 No, I don't tell them and yes I want them to leave when late or otherwise occupied. But as stated I am not strong at setting boundaries with my family, didn't say they step over them. Although I have set boundaries in the past and they think it's me being rude. Can't win either way.
This happened to me once when I had a group of friends over and my boyfriend was spending the weekend at my house. It was 2am and I was tired so I tried dropping hints for everyone to leave like “I’m tired, I wanna go to bed soon it’s getting late” and they literally all turned to me and said “then just go to bed? We aren’t stopping you?” ….. like this is my fucking house. I’m not just gonna go to bed while people remain awake and inside my home. Weird
I always helped my friends and their families clean up when I’m over at their houses. My mama raised me to leave places like I found them so it’s not something I can really stop myself from doing.
The well part is real..same here in rieland..I always wanted to visit the south..the ppl sem warm but straight to the point too..alot like us irish lol 🍀
Seeing that they’re more willing to get otherworldly forces to make me leave than just saying “Hey I’m kinda tired, is it okay if we continue hanging out another time?”
That actually seems kind of spiteful, like rather than kindly ask you to leave my house I'm gonna put a curse on you for being here where I invited you.😂
I dont think its rude to tell someone to just straight up leave their house. Its their house.... i confidently say "Okay id like you to get out of my house, bye!"
Ya the what you boutta do can be the best and worst way to ask someone to leave in my experience cuz if you do it right it feels like they asking you cuz they care as well as they tired or whatever but if they do it wrong it can feel like they trying to make you leave like that instant and it can feel pretty rude
I hate this technique above all others!!! 😂😂😂 my sister does this to EVERYONE! Will literally say I’m going to bed get up and go to sleep, leave everyone in the living room. 😅💐
@seductiveraven4895 Someone else explained it but basically it's hint to let your guests know it's time to leave. Swept/10 - it's not very subtle but it gets the job done.
I’m Asian and I have never been told it’s a sign for guest to leave. Cause we put the broom upside down all time to keep the broom in good condition and not shattered
My family from the Caribbean does this, but you're not supposed to let the person see because that's rude of course. It's like some sort of folk magic.
If someone did this to me, it would just spark a conversation. I would just be like, "Why'd you do that? Do you just switch broom positions periodically? Is it better for the broom head?" 😅 I have NEVER seen this, haha
I feel like “I’m sorry but I’m real tired and have a busy day tomorrow, but I had fun we should do this again” does the job. It’s very polite, and your guest would be comfortable reaching out to meet up some other time without feeling unwanted.
Nah just awkwardly sit there for 30 mins while they get up and awkwardly walk around their house acting weird and shit til youre both uncomfortable about the obvious situation youve both put yourselves in. Just watch em walk around and flip they broom upside down in their little closet and stare judgingly at them. If youre close friends, when they ask you if youre gonna get into anything today or ask any questions to try and get you to leave just give short answers and act like youre too focused on your nails or something to pay any attention to the conversation. Trey to sit in complete silence and if they say they need you to leave just say " oh, i thought we were hanging out today." Then just stay longer in silence. Lmao
Me too. I’ll even suggest a funny code word to ease them in if they’re not used to being assertive with boundaries or struggle to find the right words out of anxiety or fears. The other week it was “cuh-cah” like a bird :’)
as I start hanging out I like to ask until when they would like to hang out till, setting an agreed end time. I try to take take off 30min prior to that since it can sometimes take a while to leave the house because of the small talk on the way out 😂
@@SerenEnfyshow pathetic. What have we been reduced to as adults. Can't even say a genuine normal goodbye without feelings taking over rational conversation. It's sad
It is 100% rude 💀 If you're busy or don't want to hang out with someone just say you don't want them over today; plus not everyone is going to recognize hints well@@BelinaBelii
As someone from the Midwest, you just slap your knee and say "WELPP I think we best get going now," and you have to plan ahead about 30 minutes because you never leave right away. Keep talking about things like the weather as you're leaving to make it seem like you aren't sick of the person and wish you could talk more, even if both parties most likely are sick of each other..
I have autism and I don't pay attention to how people store their items unless I had to use it for some reason. Just straight up ask me to leave, and I'll gladly do so.
I'd literally double down on being friendly and pretend I didn't know what that meant. Own up to it and say it to my face? The easiest way to get what you want is open communication, toxic ass friend.
Same, but my friend doesn’t take that. I tell her multiple times and give her reasons and her ass be like “so what” 😭😭Like girl I’m tryna walk u home before it gets too dark
@@m33rkat9 Brooo stand up for yourself and your space. It’s okay to tell a bitch to goooo hommee 😂 like fr tell her; love you, had enough of you, go home. (Maybe differently, but don’t make it an option, don’t let it be an option.) If She gets mad and pissy..? Might want to rethink how much y’all hang out. Even the best of friends should be able to accept sometimes you just wanna have your own space.
You're being passive too in this situation, you're also not communicating openly and honestly. You're not supposed to cut off that type of communication just because someone else isn't engaging in it.
@@HandlesIThoughtOfWereAllTaken Other comments say it's a way of calling out unwanted or overstayed guests in some cultures. You're pretty much asking your guest to leave without actually asking.
If somebody flipped the broom upside down in front of me - for one; I’m probably not gonna notice that, secondly if I do- I’m never coming back to your house again. Use your damn words, this ain’t kindergarten, get up and tell me you want to call it a night and for everybody to head home. I ain’t responding to no broom shit, that’s stupid as hell
more people need to learn how to be direct and open about certain things. Everybody deserves boundaries and establishing them doesn't have to be offensive, or necessitate anger from the other party
The fire extinguisher you have was recalled in 2017 bc of the plastic nozzles not going off, you can get a new one at Costco or Sam’s club for like $25
I just tell people "well maybe this is enough for today" and stand up. I also always tell people to please let me know when they want me to go home. Everyone gets tired at a point, and it's just better to communicate than to get annoyed and ruin a good day 😊
Fax someone with a mental illness would do this like if you can’t just ask me to leave your house politely and honestly it’s actually the opposite where my friends are trying to make me sleep in the room or something lol and I feel like I gotta get out of this place😂
@@kendallhills1370kind of cunty to equate mental illness with being rude - but also this ISNT rude or passive aggressive, it's a cultural thing that is well known and understood by people of that culture and likely considered more polite then directly saying something.
@@Zimzum93i mean they're not fully wrong there ...... im autistic and it is painful when someone overstays their welcome since its really not easy at all for me to communicate things like that so I just do nothing and wait while having an internal meltdown. To me its simple and everyone should know how long their stay should be and when its time to go. People who stay for too long give me anxiety
@@catherinebrawne You've misunderstood yhe comment I was responding too. im criticising thr comment due to the fact They're equating mental illness with passive aggressive behaviour and using weird signals instead of direct communication, and they're deliberately saying in a way that is like "mental illness causes bad behaviour because mental illness is bad and wrong and gross and people who have it are bad" like that's VERY obviously the thinly veiled subtext of saying "eww yuck that's a mentally ill thing to do" about a behaviour they think is shitty. Its stigmatising to mental illness. Flipping a broom over to signal for overstaying guests to leave isn't a symptom of mental illness - it's JUST a cultural social custom. Also if people over staying their welcome makes you uncomfortable just learn how to tell people politely "hey I've really loved spendinging time with you, but as you know I'm autistic and that means my social battery runs out suddenly & faster than NT people, cause of just how over stimulating everything is aaalllll the time, and continuing to be in the presence of people when my battery runs flat can SERIOUSLY fuck me up and have effects that last days. I promise it's absolutely NOTHING personal, like I said, I've really enjoyed hanging out but I've gotta have some alone time now so its time for you to start heading off / time for me to head off. I'm already looking forward to next time but I've just gotta take care of myself and be alone and decompress from the whole being a person thing"
This is done in Australia too... a thigh slap and "well" or a long drawn out "so", as we slowly stand up. Good to know lots of our language and/or gestures are translatable all around the world. Jen. Australia. ❤️🙏🕊️❤️

I’m from the south and anytime you want guests to leave you say “WELL!” And everyone will stand and say “guess I’d bet on head home.”

And then a few hours later, she really did just roll over and go to sleep. And I was like alright, fair enough.
@@GlitterF-CKlmaooo nah cause I did that with a new friend and I woke up to homegirl and my man fcking up my Minecraft like I didn’t travel across the fcking map to drag slow ass pandas back to my village. For them to start a war with pillagers and get one of my diamond farmers killed. We’re still bffs but that pissed me tf off. Woke up in the middle to some sht I’ll never forget.
@@newname3021 I could never just hop on someone else's Minecraft like that I'd be paranoid af to change their world. The most I could do without feeling bad would be build some small structure for them to find and then put them back where I found them on the map lol

im Midwestern and we do that too 😅 or "dont let me hold yoy back from whatever you need to do"

And then the "lrightyy I'll see tall next time" and then continue to talk in the driveway for the next hour 😂

the worst was when you were a kid and the convo dies down and you’re like yes we’re gonna leave and they say and yk there is a… and as a kid your like BRUH
I usually go for the old "well it was nice seeing you." I walk them to their car and we talk for another 30 mins.
The another 30 minutes thing is my Dad to a T 😂 can never get his ass to shut up. God bless him, though, for being able to hold a conversation
The video implies the guests were staying with her- not just staying too late
@@cademancaden it still applies. The more adult way is to communicate and ask how long they were planning on staying and if it’s not what you want then negotiate on a date to leave, especially if you’re the host. Not putting a broom upside down and thinking everyone knows what that means
Good old Midwest goodbyes❤
@@dfknoxcross We don't say goodbye either, it's always "I'll see you later."

That’s so real💀
Bro I’d be too scared and in my family even in my neighborhood we don’t say get out we say “it’s getting late ain’t it?” Or a yawn and stretch but the best one is “damn it’s dark outside”
i have NEVER heard of this stupid ass broom shit. & fr if u want someone to leave then TELL THEY ASS TO LEAVE tf? 😂😂😂 its ur home. with respect of course but like…bru….a fkn broom? 😂🤣 gotta be retarded or sum shit
In the Midwest we just slap our knee and say, "welp," and that initiates the end of visit sequence. To be fair that sequence may take an hour, but telling them to gtfo won't work any faster.

Before my grandma would get off the phone she say well listen honey and that’s how I always knew she was ready to get off the phone lol. R.I.P grandma love you 😊
If that ever happened to me I'd be humiliated and I'd be grabbing my purse to go
Which is why the superstition lives on lol
That’s so weird. They should be the ones embarrassed for lacking communication skills lol. No need to be humiliated, just because they aren’t grown enough to be direct and say they are done socializing. Give the other party a chance to be grown enough to say cool, I’ll catch you later, and leave. Nobody needs to have hurt feelings about it lol.
And that’s why I leave gatherings and friends homes while I am still welcomed..most likely, I am the one done socializing 😂
I would be so oblivious to that, I might even ask them why they want their broom like that
im confused dont undersand, explanation?

@@real_bonfire Fr 💀
Dont worry it's not a hint it's a superstition. People don't do it in front of their guest. They do it secretly because they think it will magicaly make their guest leave
As an eastern-european, we put the bowl of fruits on the table, basically meaning UR DONE, TIME TO GO HOME FELLOW CITIZENS.
I just say "WELP, I'm tired. I love yall but get out" and my friends are always like OH THANK GOD US TOO
my typa friend lol
My grandparents always said, "Welp," too. Except it meant the opposite - they were tired of visiting and wanted to go home.
Lml someone’s gotta be the voucher 😭 if not yourself who ?😌💆🏽♀️

Facts! My friends group is the say way. We getting to old to be out past midnight 😂
As someone who doesn't know how to tell my family to leave, I just go to bed. Then I wake up at 3AM to go toilet, discover they are still chatting in my living room, then go back to sleep. No wonder my counselor is telling me I need to be stronger with my boundaries.
Well, that’s not ideal.
I do that all the time. I just think of it as continuing to be a good host by providing them with an environment/space they can relax, talk, and hang out in while also taking care of my needs. Lol I just never care if people stay but my time entertaining them has come to an end.
Do you actually tell or want them to leave? If not then they're not overstepping any boundries.
@@xaviersmith5154 No, I don't tell them and yes I want them to leave when late or otherwise occupied. But as stated I am not strong at setting boundaries with my family, didn't say they step over them. Although I have set boundaries in the past and they think it's me being rude. Can't win either way.
This happened to me once when I had a group of friends over and my boyfriend was spending the weekend at my house. It was 2am and I was tired so I tried dropping hints for everyone to leave like “I’m tired, I wanna go to bed soon it’s getting late” and they literally all turned to me and said “then just go to bed? We aren’t stopping you?” ….. like this is my fucking house. I’m not just gonna go to bed while people remain awake and inside my home. Weird
I usually just crawl on the ceiling while screaming GET OUT! GET OUT!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'll have to remember this for DND night when the party isn't ready to disband! lmao
Realllll
Ah finally a host that knows how to make their guests comfortable
Im so high rn I was questioning how tf do you do that ?🤔😂😂😂😂
I always helped my friends and their families clean up when I’m over at their houses. My mama raised me to leave places like I found them so it’s not something I can really stop myself from doing.
From the south and my dad just says "WELL!Its that time,im heading to bed" and most of his friends have known him long enough to know to leave
In England we slap our thighs and say "right then". Or sometimes "Right, well, I won't keep you".
Lol

Seeing that they’re more willing to get otherworldly forces to make me leave than just saying “Hey I’m kinda tired, is it okay if we continue hanging out another time?”
There should be more likes on this lol the use of "otherworldly forces " had me crackin up
Yeah I feel like this is silly when you have a mouth to just say time is up tactfully of course.
That actually seems kind of spiteful, like rather than kindly ask you to leave my house I'm gonna put a curse on you for being here where I invited you.😂

I combine that with a strong “Well”.

I dont think its rude to tell someone to just straight up leave their house. Its their house.... i confidently say "Okay id like you to get out of my house, bye!"

You can't really eat anything after that, it's always left for last.

I hope you at least cuddle for a bit after a sesh before kicking him out.
Whenever i hear “alright” best believe im getting up and walking out 😆
So now I get to sit and wonder how many people probably did this, and I was completely oblivious..thank you. 😂😂😅
I’d be so offended if someone did this instead of just using their words tbh.
Exactly, it’s their home, all they have to politely ask 🤣🤣
If someone did this to me, it would just spark a conversation. I would just be like, "Why'd you do that? Do you just switch broom positions periodically? Is it better for the broom head?" 😅 I have NEVER seen this, haha
Right😂😂😂 like.. ‘ is that how you keep it from getting all linty and hairy at the ends or something?😂’
The better for the broom head thing is where my head went and I'm glad someone else wrote it because I was like "I'm a fkin idiot"

Glad I'm not the only one😂
I feel like “I’m sorry but I’m real tired and have a busy day tomorrow, but I had fun we should do this again” does the job.
It’s very polite, and your guest would be comfortable reaching out to meet up some other time without feeling unwanted.

@@Red_Ryan_Red it’s good to be forward, people aren’t mind readers, communicate your needs/feelings without being rude.
I’m glad me and my friends are close enough that we can just comfortably tell each when we get tired
Nah just awkwardly sit there for 30 mins while they get up and awkwardly walk around their house acting weird and shit til youre both uncomfortable about the obvious situation youve both put yourselves in. Just watch em walk around and flip they broom upside down in their little closet and stare judgingly at them. If youre close friends, when they ask you if youre gonna get into anything today or ask any questions to try and get you to leave just give short answers and act like youre too focused on your nails or something to pay any attention to the conversation. Trey to sit in complete silence and if they say they need you to leave just say " oh, i thought we were hanging out today." Then just stay longer in silence. Lmao
My city we just say something like “Ima have to kick yall out its time to go” and we leave💀
When I'm at someone's house I always say clearly to them "let me know when you've had enough of my company."
Exactly, especially when it gets later on I'll always ask if they want me to go soon or to just shout when they want me to go
YESSS THIS IS GOOD!!
Me too. I’ll even suggest a funny code word to ease them in if they’re not used to being assertive with boundaries or struggle to find the right words out of anxiety or fears. The other week it was “cuh-cah” like a bird :’)
as I start hanging out I like to ask until when they would like to hang out till, setting an agreed end time. I try to take take off 30min prior to that since it can sometimes take a while to leave the house because of the small talk on the way out 😂
@@SerenEnfyshow pathetic. What have we been reduced to as adults. Can't even say a genuine normal goodbye without feelings taking over rational conversation. It's sad

@@BelinaBeliiyou’re creating problems for yourself by waiting around for a guest to take a nonverbal cue
I just say "what are you about to do?" 😂 always works.
As someone from the Midwest, you just slap your knee and say "WELPP I think we best get going now," and you have to plan ahead about 30 minutes because you never leave right away. Keep talking about things like the weather as you're leaving to make it seem like you aren't sick of the person and wish you could talk more, even if both parties most likely are sick of each other..
In Midwest, at least the area where I’m from, we get guests to leave by looking out the nearest window and “Wow, it’s getting pretty late!”

Even the best of friends should be able to accept sometimes you just wanna have your own space.

You're being passive too in this situation, you're also not communicating openly and honestly. You're not supposed to cut off that type of communication just because someone else isn't engaging in it.

@@HandlesIThoughtOfWereAllTaken Other comments say it's a way of calling out unwanted or overstayed guests in some cultures. You're pretty much asking your guest to leave without actually asking.
If somebody flipped the broom upside down in front of me - for one; I’m probably not gonna notice that, secondly if I do- I’m never coming back to your house again. Use your damn words, this ain’t kindergarten, get up and tell me you want to call it a night and for everybody to head home. I ain’t responding to no broom shit, that’s stupid as hell
more people need to learn how to be direct and open about certain things. Everybody deserves boundaries and establishing them doesn't have to be offensive, or necessitate anger from the other party

@@catherinebrawne
You've misunderstood yhe comment I was responding too. im criticising thr comment due to the fact They're equating mental illness with passive aggressive behaviour and using weird signals instead of direct communication, and they're deliberately saying in a way that is like "mental illness causes bad behaviour because mental illness is bad and wrong and gross and people who have it are bad" like that's VERY obviously the thinly veiled subtext of saying "eww yuck that's a mentally ill thing to do" about a behaviour they think is shitty. Its stigmatising to mental illness. Flipping a broom over to signal for overstaying guests to leave isn't a symptom of mental illness - it's JUST a cultural social custom.
Also if people over staying their welcome makes you uncomfortable just learn how to tell people politely "hey I've really loved spendinging time with you, but as you know I'm autistic and that means my social battery runs out suddenly & faster than NT people, cause of just how over stimulating everything is aaalllll the time, and continuing to be in the presence of people when my battery runs flat can SERIOUSLY fuck me up and have effects that last days. I promise it's absolutely NOTHING personal, like I said, I've really enjoyed hanging out but I've gotta have some alone time now so its time for you to start heading off / time for me to head off. I'm already looking forward to next time but I've just gotta take care of myself and be alone and decompress from the whole being a person thing"
