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

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 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 ...

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Nah, same for the work calls

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

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