>current year
>having phone conversations

I don't like it but it is what it is.

Yes I use the phone for very short time and don't say much.

One time I meet this girl who liked to talk on phone for hours. It's too much and retrospectively not worth
>>
It really is just a Hollywood thing, I've never seen an American do this for real.
>>
The longest I talked on the phone was for an hour, and that was for a project

Do Germans really get so cucked they lose thier wives before even 10 seconds?
>>
>>74951369
top kek, made my day

Rarely, there is usually a goodbye said. I won't say that when I'm calling someone to meet them later in the day or to tell them I'm outside their apartment, but that's different.
>>
>>74951690
I do it. Everybody complains.
>>
>>74951802
awful bantz, apply yourself
>>
Do you just talk on the phone forever or something? I only do that if I'm watching a girl play with herself on skype or something
>>
>>74951369
Why would you drag it on? If it's just a call to shoot some shit, okay but if it's arranging something or saying something needs to get done just say it and be done.
>>
>>74951369
no
Anglos are autistically polite irl

A short conversation is not the problem. The abrupt ending. Without a any bye and stuff, you know?

I tell people I'm driving through a tunnel, then hang up mid-sentence.

They can turn into intercoms and you drop the formalities since you'll be interfacing over the phone back and forth throughout the day anyway. You aren't saying bye at the end of every text message or post are you?

This is only done in movies and television. Other people, including myself, have noticed that this is a trope too (that I'm sure has an entry on TV Tropes). I think conversations are cut short because it's filler that doesn't add anything, and we don't need to hear it every time there's a phone conversation if there are a lot of them. It can add tension too, I guess.

If you did it in real life though you'd probably get the other person calling you back asking what happened.

i wish

it's painful to try to kill a conversation. I just want to cut off cool and go back to doing what i have to do, not have my autism flair up trying to let someone go
>>
>>74951492
first thing I thought

and I agree

kids today probably don't even have fun three way calls
>>
I think it depends on the region. In the Midwest, everyone is overly polite, so a conversation between two white Midwesterners will often turn into a prolonged goodbye:

>Ok, you take care now
>Yep, you do the same. I'll talk to yah latter
>Ok then, talk to yah later. We'll be seein' yah
>Yep, we'll be seein' yah. You have a good one now.
>You have a good one too,there.

etc....

My jew landlord will stop and talk slowly about everything in the world for ages when confronted in person. But on the phone he speaks twice as fast and hangs up like it's about to gas him.

It's funny.
>>
>>74951369

I've noticed they never say 'goodbye' or 'goodnight' or anything similar in movies. It's weird.
>>
>>74952051
No I don't. But it seems that this is just another thing that make us different. I'll always say bye or at least later, when I'm about to see them anyway

No I always end my phone conversations by saying "Jews did 9/11" and then hang up.
