      I used to be more Midwestern, “Welp” or “Alright” kind of thing, but I’ve been becoming a bit more low context with time. Especially if I have my family with me. It’s a lot easier to terminate exchanges when you have a kid.

      “I’m gonna go now” seems like it’s going to be too direct but people adjust pretty quickly in my experience. Or maybe everyone I know thinks I’m an asshole lol

        I just speak plainly. It works wonders.

        There are some people who don’t like it, but that’s just because they’re even bigger assholes.
