- When you're trying to tell someone something important or that you're excited about, and they're clearly not listening, but claim they were by quickly rattling off what you just said and changing the subject. It's like, fine, you were technically listening, but not really listening.

- People who take calls when you're with them, mouth "I'm sorry" and make gestures that indicate the other person is being chatty and they're trying to get off - then as soon as the person's clearly stopped talking, they ask or say something else. I don't think the person on the other line is the issue.

I mean with the second one it can depend who is on the other line. For example, I often don't feel like I can hang up with my grandmother until she decides the conversation is over, no matter how much I want to.

AYRT - Good point, and I do realize there's situations where you have no choice. My sister works in sales - she gets a call at four in the morning, she has to take it. But there's a difference between that and just being rude but pinning it on the person on the other line.

I mean, at the very least, if you can help it... why not just not answer the phone?

Well... okay, but you can't just wait till a person stops talking, say goodbye and hang up. Sometimes you have to end the conversation and that might take a while if you don't want to be rude or abrupt.
