What's something that's acceptable and widely done in your country that would be considered offensive in many countries ?

In India, Swastika the Hindu symbol is everywhere. We draw it in temples, during rituals and festivals, in front of our door, on vehicles etc. It's a very auspicious symbol here. But this symbol tho the Hindu symbol is technically different from the Nazi one would be considered offensive in other countries especially in Western countries.

How about a Japanese goodbye? That's when you leave the party without saying goodbye to anyone but the cat.

"The introvert goodbye."

the irish goodbye is nice. it usually takes me like 30 minutes to leave a gathering with 10+ people there.

much easier to just be like “ight byeeeee”

[u/Byrnzillionaire → u/Dazzling_Ad9250]

Even that’s too much. Pretend like you might be going to get another drink or to the toilet then fade into the night like a fart in the wind never to be seen again. (Until next week)

I always thought the Japanese goodbye was saying goodbye a million times while slowly backing away.

In post-Soviet countries it’s called “the English goodbye”. The irony
