Do You Wait For The Other Person To Hang Up The Phone?

[arwalden]

Even after you've both said "goodbye", do wait to hang up your receiver until you've actully heard the *click* of the other party hanging up?

Or... do you go ahead and hang up without waiting?

P.S. Okay, I'm hanging up now. You hang up first. NO.. YOU hang up. Okay... let's both hang up at the same time. Ready? One, two, three, NOW! I can hear you breathing. Still there? Me too.

1. I did the "you hang up first" thing

when I was a young, lovelorn swain. Now it's just "goodbye" <click>.

Speaking of phone ettiquette...
Callers who don't identify themselves. That really gets my goat.
"Hello?"
"Hi, how are you? What's going on? blah blah blah"
<who the hell is this?>
I used to be polite and keep the chat going until I could figure out who it was. Now I just say "Who IS this?"
I want to hear "Hi, this is Allen."
If I don't know you that well I want to hear "Hi,this is Allen Walden."
end of mini-rant
and Happy Turkey Day to you.
:hi:

2. Oh My Goodness! Me Too!!!! --- That Drives Me NUTS!!!

I always identify myself. Even when calling my mother... "Hi Mom... It's Allen."

I've never been good at identifying voices that I don't speak with daily. Then they get all "upset" because I didn't immediately recognise them. Too bad.

I'm just like you are... If I can't figure out who it is immediately, I'll ask right away also.

"Who is this?"
"Guess."

I've done that before. Felt good too.

3. I agree with you on this. It's sort of rude actually the way...........

some people just assume that everyone knows who they are instantly. sigh.
