Otherwise known as, “The Midwestern Goodbye”
Don’t you hate it when someone tries to hang up on the phone but then they proceed to chat your ear off for another 20 minutes? This Twitter user sure does. “No, you hang up!” “No, you hang up!” Sometimes talking with boomers on the phone can feel like that minus the actual back-and-forth mentioned above.
It’s more like they attempt to end the conversation but then they recall more inane details about Sharon’s mother’s cousin’s daughter’s sweet sixteen gathering. And 20 minutes pass. Now, they’re scrolling through their Facebook feed and reading each post they see verbatim. You close your eyes and wait for this non-ending phone call to end.
