Why can’t people – at the end of a phone call – say goodbye and hang up the phone?
What is up with all of this post-goodbye, lingering horseshit?
I was on a call the other day and was taking the time to talk to someone and then the conversation was over (not because I deemed it was over, but because we had both finished the conversation) … and then this happened (with me in parenthesis documenting what I really wanted to say):
Me – Ok, well then that’s the plan, I will check back with you right after lunch and we’ll see where we’re at on things …
Other person – OK
Me – OK thanks … take care
Other person … yeah, when we talk, let’s make sure we discuss the plan
Me – (I just said that ass eyes) OK
Other person – because it’s important as we need to get it finalized
Me – (No shit. Are you fucking retarded? We just had this conversation 5 minutes ago) OK
Other person – What time are you going to call me?
Me – After lunch (By the way, I’m going to eat lunch like around 3 or something just so I can fuck with your delicate sense of timing)
Other person – Ok … talk to you tomorrow
Me – Ok (wondering are we going to start the merry-go-around again?)
Other person – I hope we get this deal as it’s important
Me – (holy shit we did … get a fucking therapist) Me too
Other person – Ok
Me – Ok …. bye
Other person – (me waiting for them to say bye … say bye you lousy bitch bastard) Bye
Me – (Jeesussss he said it – You sure you don’t want to repeat the entire goddamn conversation a third time?) Bye
I’m pretty sure I forgot to call him back after lunch.
