I don't ghost. Actually I really can't think of a time when I've left a gathering without saying goodbye or waving. Just how I was raised. Still it varies a bit from situation to situation.

Also -- can't believe how many ethnic stereotypes and phrases there are associated with this phenomenon I've never bothered to think about.
