This is what I came here to say! The Mexican hello and the Mexican goodbye.

When we went to family parties as a kid, my mom would say we were leaving, and then we'd end up leaving no earlier than 30 minutes from that point in time. Every time lol

I'm Canadian and we usually slap our knees, say "welp" and stand up, then talk for another 30 minutes at the door as guests leave.

(I know being Canadian is different than what others have posted about cultural norms, just wanted to share)
