"Bye Bye"

[Dead Duck]

OK - Why do you say this???

I just got off the phone with some lady at the bank, and she sucked me right into it.
She ends the call with - "Bye Bye" so I say "Bye Bye" - hang up and then scream.

Bye Bye is the Goofiest thing to say to someone and I try not to fall for it but it happens so fast, sometimes I'm just not aware until it's too late.
It's You Women who started it. All the phone calls that this happens to, are because you girly girls say it first.

Guys conversations usually end with things like - "Cool" or "Later" or "See Ya".

The only guys I've ever heard say "Bye Bye" to me are ones that have a job talking with chicks on the phone all day and they are temporarily brainwashed. They just need some beer and a remote to reset and purge their system. Unless they are Pee-Wee Herman cause I'm sure he says Bye Bye all the time.

Which one of you started this phrase anyway.

I heard that the men in the UK have this same problem, but their woman say "Tootles".



I just had to share.

You may all go back to making Sammiches now.

I say it just to sound goofy - but only when talking with friends and family.

Some kind of "professional" setting...it hasn't slipped out. Yet.

 

[eldirector]

I don't. At least not professionally. Maybe with (female) family.

Just wrapped up a call a bit ago. "OK. Thanks for the time today." <click>

 

[GIJEW]

I'm a man-of-few-words, I just cut it short to "bye"

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

What's REALLY funny is to end a call with a good buddy by saying "I love you".

Doh!

I had to call him right back and asked him if I really said that.

In my defense, I was quite tired and had just spoken with my mother immediately before talking to him. I always tell HER that I love her - guess it kind of stuck in my head due to fatigue.

 

[Dead Duck]

Oh - No

As long as he didn't say it back, I guess you are both OK.

Happens to me on occasion too. Not proud of it. The vast majority of my co-workers are women...and it's definitely their fault!

 

[88GT]

Wow, you just had to do that, didn't you?

I have never paid attention to how I end the conversation and now I won't ever NOT think of it.

If you would have ended it with Man and said it in your deepest voice it would have been okay!!

 

[LEaSH]

It's happens because of listening to show tunes on an irregular basis.

It's OK. I ain't judging nobody.

 

[parsimonious]

It seems kinda odd to me that you repeat the sign off.

Do you say adios to spanish speakers? arrivederci [yep I had to look it up] to itailian speakers?
dasvidaniya, bonsoir?

I just say, mmm bye.

 

[Spanky46151]

Yes!

I knew it! DAMN YOU RODGERS & HAMMERSTEIN!!!

Parker out.

the last time i heard bye-bye was when my 2yr old said it when i left the house.

 

[Dead Duck]

Ok -

I just ended a call with "Bye Bye".
I'm the one who initiated it. And the worst thing is, it was the manliest of men whom I was talking to. I happened to have my voice recorder on at the time and played it back just to make sure of my suspicions.

Yep - I did it and I sounded like a total DORK...

In my defense, I was married once so it's still her fault.

Duh - Bye-Bye

I always end a call by screaming "NOOO! HOW DID YOU FIND ME?!?!" and then hanging up.

 

[Bunnykid68]

I end my calls, the phones are not safe to use anymore or may the force be with you

Hilarious!

I like to answer incoming calls with "Is Joe there?"
