I hate that people never say "bye" on the phone.

[-] wieson@feddit.org 33 points 4 months ago

Are you even allowed to end a phone convo without 20 byes and 30 ciaos?

[-] DNOS@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago

What Is ciaos ? Is It commonly used also in english or are you an Undercover italian ? 🤔

[-] wieson@feddit.org 12 points 4 months ago

I'm German, but we use ciao all the time (we spell it tschau)

[-] DNOS@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

That's curious I knew some German gettings but never heard of it ... Seems most languages have a similar one somehow kinda cool ...

Same in Slovenia. Čau!

[-] Brickardo@feddit.nl 3 points 4 months ago

South American here, same thing, we write it down chau

I say it sometimes. Is "aight" a good enough bye, what about "later"? Sometimes if it's a quick work call hardly anyone says bye.

I say bye all the time. Every phone coversation.

[-] noisefree@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

You have to tell them that you love them, everytime, or it's not even close to a proper bye. That's how you get an in with the HR folks really quickly so you know that they have your back. Work on easy mode, more or less. Like and subscribe for more social lifehacks.

[-] yokonzo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Nah, same for the work calls

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Nah, I don't think "aight" suffices, but "aight, later!" would work.

My stepfather does this irl and it always pisses me off, it's so rude!

One of the best parts from Spaced (Simon Pegg & Jessica Stevenson’s season show from the early 2000s).

[-] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh, do they say bye in that show? ...and that's the best part?
