Satire about saying goodbye after dinner in Mexico City — Mexico News Daily
In Mexico City, a guest in a satirical story allegedly reached the house gate only at 1:37 a.m., although he began saying goodbye after dinner at 9:14 p.m. The story was published by El Jalapeño, the satirical section of Mexico News Daily, which explicitly states that its materials are not real news.
A prolonged farewell
According to the plot, 34-year-old Eduardo Ramírez stood up, patted his knees and said the traditional phrase “bueno, ya me voy” — “all right, I’m leaving now.” However, the host insisted that the guest could not leave without trying freshly brewed café de olla coffee and another piece of flan.
Ramírez describes this as a tactical mistake: he stood up while being less than three meters from the dining table. After that, the character allegedly became involved in a conversation about renovating a distant relative’s apartment, and the offer of a second cup of coffee ultimately changed his plans to return home.

Conversations near the exit
The fictional story then describes individual farewells with 12 dinner participants, three separate questions about relatives’ health and an exchange of local news with each person present. By the mirror in the hallway, according to the plot, a comment about weekend plans sparked a 45-minute discussion about the best driving routes.
In the end, Ramírez was allegedly holding the front door handle and discussing a reliable mechanic, while the host held the gate open so that the guest would not leave without leftovers.
