Announcing a Departure (lemm.ee)

If I'm in a room with people I know and I plan to leave the room for a long time, I tell them where I'm going. If it's for a short time I do not.

What (if anything) is an appropriate time scale to leave a room without announcing when/if you'll be back?

Like yeah maybe it kind of depends what environment and what people you're talking about. When I'm in the waiting room at the bus station I don't tell anyone anything about where I'm going or how long I'm going to be gone because it's not their business. And when I'm leaving work to go home at 4:30 or whatever, I say goodbye, and I don't tell people that I'll be back tomorrow at 8:30, because it's kind of obvious unless it's the weekend and then it's still kind of obvious. So what are you even talking about? I'm just not following.
