Age 42: sneak out of my own party to go to bed
At 40, my back goes out more than I do.
Also the recovery time of a “night out with the boys” (which at the very latest goes on til 10 pm) requires the same recovery time as major surgery.
Some days ago i visited a friend until 4 am ans went to bed at 5:30. It felt like a hangover the next day and i did not drink anything. Rekt.
Party? Y’all get invited to those?
That was a long party.
Age 57, never want to leave the house to go to a party again.
Leaving the house is overrated. Besides there are other people out there. Who wants to deal with that?
Home: My computer, tv, exercise bike, food specifically for my own taste and dietary needs
Outside: people, wasps, and various other nasty things
Lol wasps are the second specific thing you choose to call out? You must live in some kind of high wasp area.
Yellowjackets are a menace here and I have a bit of spheksophobia 🤷
Home: Me and my thoughts.
Outside: Beautiful nature with very few people, multiple climbing gyms where you can mindful and in the moment, solo running as the sun is rising, an endless array of beautiful sites to imagine their history and what they’ve seen.
And insects
Not here. Manchester, UK.
The old Irish goodbye.
Here in Germany, we say “take the French leave” for some reason…
In Denmark, we don’t have an expression for the leaving itself AFAIK, but staying for only a very short while is known as “a French visit”
I’ve never heard this one - love it.
I’ve heard it called “Irish exit”
Age 42: put phone on Do Not Disturb to avoid going to the party in the first place
If the conversation goes stale for more than 20 mins my friends now it’s time for yappy to go home, lol.
