Is it normal to hang up on someone without saying "good bye"?

Typical movie thing. Because they're short of time, they don't waste it with real-life stuff. It's like how exposition works. I was thinking the same thing myself yesterday when I saw a scene in some programme where a guy walks into a library, sees a girl and says, "Oh, I was looking for you". I couldn't think of a single person who would say that in real life.

To make it lifelike, though, they'd have the spend a minute or so showing the guy running all over town. Why waste a minute of story time when they could just make him say it (even though it looks stupid)?. It's the same with the phone call thing. Example phone call in a movie:

A: Harry? Where's Jane?
B: Out at the beach
A: *thinks for a bit then puts down phone*

The real life equivalent would be:

A: Hi, could I speak to Harry please?
C: He's in the bathroom but he won't be long.
A: Okay, I'll wait.
C: Okay.

*pause*

A: So is this Camille?
C: No, it's Joanne. Camille is sick today.
A: Oh, hope she's okay.
C: She'll be fine. It's not sexual this time.

*pause*

C: Harry is here now. I'll pass you over.
A: Thanks!
B: Hi!
A: Hi? Harry?
B: Yes, this is Harry. Who is speaking please?
A: It's Geoff.
B: Geoff?
A: Geoff Whitham. We met at the Connor's party.
B: Oh, yes, I remember. What can I do for you, Geoff?
A: I was wondering if you knew where Jane was.
B: Jane?
A: My wife, Jane. She was with me at the Connor's party.
B: The redhead?
A: Blonde.
B: Oh... yes, I remember.
A: Have you seen her?
B: I don't think so. Joanne? Have you seen Jane?
C: Jane?
B: Geoff's wife.
C: Oh, I think she went to the beach.
B: Geoff? You there? Oh, hi! Joanne thinks she went to the beach.
A: Hey, thanks!
B: Not a problem. See you!
A: See you! Hey, wait. Are you going to Larry's barbeque?
B: Larry?
A: Yeah, you know, Larry with the infestation?
B: Oh God, yeah, no I'm not going near that guy's place.
A: God, me neither. Well, me and Jane were wondering... do you fancy coming to a party over at ours? Couples only, if you know what I mean.
B: I think I know what you mean.
A: I think you do.
B: I do indeed. You have a table that only sits even numbers, right?
A: Right!
B: Okay, we'll be there. Anything is better than that guy's infested barbeque.
A: Okay, see you.
B: Bye!

Director: And that's a wrap!

I love ending all my calls with bye-bye sounding
Like a child.

I hate it when people hang up on me. Makes me think that they don't like me... It's rude!!

Dappy, I seriously laughed so hard reading that that Guinness came out my nose. Bravo, boo boo.

That would be very rude.

This happens to me at work. Sometimes a conversation ends with a "thank you" or "okay" as opposed to a "goodbye." There are subtle cues that the conversation has ended.

What's worse is when you have to go through all the polite closings and it turns into an awkward conversation because the other person won't just hang up the phone.

"Well, okay, thanks, yeah you too, I will, thanks again, oh, sure thing, okay, take care...bye-bye."

It's not normal, in fact it's rude. I only did this once but it was because the person was yelling at me so they deserved it xD

I'd really like to see this go down in a movie.

Friend: Hey how's it going?
Me: Hey sorry can't really talk right now.
Friend: Huh, why not?
Me: I'm sorry but I just can't talk right now, okay?
Friend: come on we've know each other for a while, you can tell me anything.
Me: ...
Friend: ... hello?
Me: BECAUSE I'M ****ING AWKWARD ON THE PHONE *chucks phone at wall*

if you are angry yes likfe F*** off bitch "click"

Most people at work do it when we talk to one another. It's always an abrupt and to the point conversation. I suppose it's not the same thing because we all work in the same small building and we'll likely see each other within 2min of that conversation.

Aren't those mafia or terrorist scenes where say guy A wants to know whether guy B has successfully set off a bomb.
I.e.
A: And?
B: Little Boy was delivered

I do it only when someone attempts to start an argument with me over the phone.

Hollywood has a way of embellishing real life to the point to where it becomes totally unrealistic and out of touch with reality.

I've never met anyone who simply hung up when they were done talking.

I remember being in a very irritated mood when I was sixteen when I had a mobile phone. This girl and her friend phoned me quite a few times, but this time I couldn't be bothered pretending to want to hear her. So she was about to say good bye, and just as she went "Goo-" I just hanged up. Lol.
