Phone manners

[TreasuredBargains]

Has anyone else noticed an increasing trend to finish phone calls with "bye, bye, bye, bye ..."?
Am I being terribly rude in only saying goodbye once?

Please, you may call me anytime - I feel just the same! - always wondering if it would be rude for me to just say bye! It's endless byes around here!

talking to my mother it's.... bye, take care...... then 20 mins later (if your lucky) to finally get to put the phone down

You are lucky you ain't talking to a yank from the midwest. Many end conversations with the dopey term bye bye which sounds like "BUB BYE". Even we are scratching our heads about how bye bye got so warped.

bye bye
