Mildly annoying

One of my favorite scenes in American Dad is when Stan does this, and Francine calls back and says, 'removed, did you just hang up on me?"

The worst part about the first one is that they never bring up the breakfast again and they just make something else for dinner. Like they just threw away hundreds of dollars of food and had no problem with it???

Never say thanks either.

My wife and I do that. She's a little more abrupt than me though. I often find myself staring at the phone, "Did she hang up?"

OTOH, when she talks to her family back home it sounds like Midwesterners trying to leave the house.

"OK mom, bye bye, I love you!"

"OK bye bye don't forget to whatever>"

"OK bye bye!"

"OK I love you!"

This is likely to go another stanza. There will also be an extra stanza for each person on the other end.

For business calls, a lot of them do end that way. Especially if I'm talking to someone down the aisle from me. 90% of my work conversations go something like this:

call coworker "Hey, it's so and so, I'm going to be delayed on site for 20 minutes."

"Alright, we've got a new thing in thirty minutes, so you're good."

"I'll call you if anything changes, but based on what's going on, I'll make the thirty minutes."

"Great, thanks."

one of you hangs up

I always though this was how you did it in the USA?!!

This is my mother's husband on the phone and I find it so rude but just deal with it now.

Time is one factor, but mainly to avoid unexciting and unnecessary dialogue.

In real life we have a lot of conversations which are purely transactional and not very fun. Nobody needs to listen to characters on screen going back and forth like "See you tonight" "At the bar?" "Yeah, the bar, 6PM." "I've gotta drop the kids off at 6, can we do 7...?" - It's boring, and it doesn't advance the story.

Just cut the conversation short. The audience will quicky see the when and where immediately for themselves when the scene changes to the bar and the guy walks in, "Sorry I'm late, had to drop off the kids."

This latest Rom Com is so realistic, but did we have to stop the plot every time a character needed to take a shit?

In movies people never close doors behind themselves.

Try it, you'll be a CEO within the week.

Be the boss and it hits different. I have asked for a room and never had any issues with everyone wanting to leave ....

I get that people generally want fiction to take them out of their lives, but the protagonists always being rich or doing rich things with no explanation takes me out.

Stephen King often has an author for the protagonist. But they're always wildly successful authors that have enough money to handle whatever the plot calls for.

This really bothered me in the (3rd season of?) Umbrella academy. You two have kids. You are the only parents of your kids, why did you both come on this pointless adventure?!
