I will always say good bye to my family before I leave the house, or before separated with a friend. I make confuse sometimes if someone go without saying good bye and that not polite either. I just few simple word but show your respect to your family and friend, at least they will know where you are.

Yeah, I agree with you my friend, its a sign of respect so they won't end up looking for someone who's no longer around. It's simple and easy words to say, the same thing with "thank you," it's just the effort to say it on the right time. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

yes, i say goodbye or just tell the people that I am leaving, in my language I say "adto sa ko" when we leave, it means "imma go now". Not telling people that you will leave or leaving is disrespectful in my country, that is why we have to tell them and not just walk out of the house or building. Especially when there are elders or you parents. It is a must.

Yeah, the same thing with me, it's a sign of respect to inform those people surround you that you're leaving. And most often it's taken for granted. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I usually leave for work before anyone else is awake but, other times I'll at least shout "bye" or "Seeya" as I go. At work I just say a general "bye" to anyone who happens to be listening. It doesnt bother me at all if people leave from work without saying goodbye - they want to get home. From home, yes, I'd like to know so that I dont go making cups of coffee for them

Well at home it does matter when someone leave and left us being uninformed and keep us thinking where they going and why they leave and yeah preparing food or coffee for someone who's not around. At work it all depends on the situation. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

yeah, it's normal saying goodbye when you leave at home. Our youngest sister usually kisses me in the check before going to her school. She has been a sweet sister to us. With my parents relationship I just kissed their hand before going out from the house.

Well that's really good for you friend. It does makes us feel good when our family member inform us before they leave, by words, kiss or hug. It makes the relationship more closer and keep the bond or family ties stronger. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi,there.Saying goodbye before you leave at home or other place is realy good habit.But unfortunately,it seeem I don't have this habit so far.I only say goodbye if I remember.But I just feel that others will say goodbye first even though is me will leave.Anyway,it's not good habit and I think I need to have a change.

Yeah, it could be better for you my friend to change that kind of habit and always remember to inform people when you leave. Some people didn't mind you leaving and left them uninformed but mostly people would appreciate if you say goodbye before you leave. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, it does happens to me sometimes and I prefer to leave that bothering someone who's quite busy but if the person is real close to me, no matter how busy he/she was I make sure that I say goodbye. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

yea, i have a habit of informing people who are close to me if i am going to leave. but it is not a goodbye, but "see you around or later." i think it is proper to inform people so that they will not be mistaken that i am still around. yes, it matters if people leave without informing those left behind. culturally and socially, there are ways on how to inform people. and some people often forget about this.

Yeah, it's always best or right to inform those people whom we know or close to us before we leave, for me its a sign of respect and love, that they give value you as a person, well that's just my opinion. It might be differ to others. At home, before I leave I just said "Mom, or Dad, I'm leaving, bye.." Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi Care,
Yes. I always inform people in the house that i am leaving and i always say goodbye aand they always respond with...God bless or have a great day!
Yes. it matters to me people leaving the house to inform me so i will know if they're out already and if it's possible for them to tell me the time when they're coming back so that i will not be worried. then if they will be late...they need to inform me. i always want to ensure the safety and security of my family.

Yes, I always do that. I think we should always let the other parties know that we will be going off and leaving them for the the time being. It is just a proper thing to do. I have not known any of my friends who go off without informing. But if they do, I will probably chide them for not letting me know and waste my efforts in searching for them.

Yeah, it makes me upset if one of my friend leave in a gathering and not informing me because I will surely look for them before I leave and yeah, its a proper thing to do, except when there's an emergency or important thing for them to do, I will surely understand. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Its shows respect to the people that surround you. To let them inform that you are leaving. Yes we are trained to do that in our house. My parents keep on saying that we should inform that we are leaving so that they wont get worried of where are we.
For me I would get annoyed if the person living with me would not care to inform me the he/she is leaving. Just like my friend when we stayed in the same house and she dont have that kind of habit. I told her to do this one, she agree it as well.

Yeah, its a sign of respect and its good to know that in your home you make it as a habit. Especially when it comes to elders, informing them when you leave does matter to them and if you fail it does makes them feel bad and to some its a big deal.
Me as well, if the person is living with me, it does matter to me when she/he go and left me uninformed as I might get worry where and what happens to the person. Simply because I care. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!
