Why do our american Buddy's never say good by on the phones?

Question

they just stop in mid conversation and hang up how sad is that

Answer 1

ok i am not american but that is rude. its not normal. they are not cool. ask them about it. that would upset anyone. it would upset me to get hung up on

Answer 2

You're friends with some real weirdo's and they do not in any way represent the rest of the USA.  I have, in my experience, only met about 3 people out of literally hundreds that don't say good-bye before hanging up...and they're considered very rude by myself and anyone I tell about it.

These three were very stuck-up, too, and I think that's why they did it.  They were overall just jerks, anyway.

Answer 3

I think it's a cultural thing.

Answer 4

I live in the US and I always say good bye,bye,talk to you later,etc....

You just have a friend that is rude.It has nothing to do with living in America.

Answer 5

That's not a typical American... My family always makes a point to have a reason for the hang up, make sure that reason is noted, say I love you to the proper people, and wait until the other person says Bye and hangs up first. Odds are, your American buddies either have a bad phone, or extremely bad manners. Try hanging up on them, see what they say or do.

Answer 6

I'm sure not all Americans do that. That just sounds rude.

My friends and I do have a thing though, we will always say "see-ya" or "later" or something positive,we don't like to say "goodbye".

We've done it since we were kids,because when one of us was younger the last thing they said to a relative was "goodbye"  and then his relative died suddenly later that day - so he never said "goodbye" again and we just followed suit.

Answer 7

Good bye, bye, See ya, later dude, like for real, peace out

Answer 8

thats the way they are ? l guess no one ever told them its takes a sec. to say bye ...........

Answer 9

I live in America, and no one hangs up on me in mid conversation. My friends and family never hang up with out giving some sort of reason for hanging up and saying good bye. Maybe your friends are just strange in the way they end conversations, or maybe you make them mad when you are on the phone with them, so they just hang up.
