Do Americans say "goodbye" on the phone or just hit the call end button???

Have yet to talk to someone who doesn't say bye in some way.

Tv is not real life.

On that note, you all Captain Slow's like May?

Texas here, I don't say "goodbye" or any kind of bye. Not even later gator or laterzzz or however the cool kids say it nowadays. I just say ok and I hang up

Weird!!!!!

And in real life? Face to face? When you are on a visit at friends, you just walk out at a random time without a word? Heck no I guess, but why is phone different. It is just as rude in my world. Hanging up in the Netherlands without a proper closing is considered extremely rude and the other person would probably call you back and assume the line dropped or you are looking for a fight.

Same here, but Texas isn't really America, now is it. /s

No doubt you're a prince right ?:wink:

No prince but in this case, even her own family told me not to marry her, lol.

Ah so the people of Texas are straight talkers then?

People of Texas are a whole different planet (speaking from someone who used to live in Texas), lol.

I don't remember the last time I actually said "goodbye". I usually just say "bye".

I'm in NC, always lived here. We just say "bye". Every now and then "bye-bye". I cant stand when ppl hang up without saying a bye of some kind.

In the UK its a series of "Ok, see ya later, tara now, bye bye" Just so the other person knows your not rude in putting it down too early! Crazy isn't it, someone's probably done a paper on the science of it haha
