"My mom is beeping in" has always been a good one for me. For 1, they know you can't leave your mom hanging. And 2, you can even interrupt them mid-sentence.

Another good one is household chores. "I gotta go get these clothes out of the washer," or "I gotta go feed the dogs."

Hope this will help in your endeavor of hanging up the phone. If not, call the manufacturer.

Loved that post! It really resonated with me and maybe one reason I hate the phone so much LOL God bless you and your ministry.

I’m trying to start using the salutation “lates” when I end a call. “Later” always works but I feel like being different might make people sit for a second after I hang up and think, “Wow… Blake is kind of cool.”

Then again maybe they’ll just think I’m weird.

I guess when you’re talking to someone new it’s always strange to see who initiates the end of the conversation, and then you don’t have history or a routine so you don’t know what to say. I suppose it’s just going to be awkward and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Just be sure not to say “I’m not hanging up first because I don’t want to let you go.”

This post made me feel, well, really awkward. I don’t think I want to ever talk to you on the phone
