re: How do you avoid a long phone conversation?

After talking a while....

"Hello? Hello? ........Heeelo?.......Damn phone, I lost the connection."

Click.

If it's my husband's drunk first cousin, we've learned to tell him to call back tomorrow when he's sober. Good bye.
That covers two or three days of the week.

I had this same problem. I then chose the Jolly Roger Telephone company. Now all boring calls and spammers get to talk to AI.

Say, "Sure, I have about 5m before I need to _______".

Then set a timer for 7m... end the convo with a "Yikes! I was supposed to ________ two minutes ago, can we pick this up later? Thanks for calling!"

"Well, let me let you go . . . I got some stuf to take care of over here."

Don't pay your phone bill and it'll work itself out.

1. Start the conversation off with "just a warning, my battery is low and I don't have (or can't find) my charger."

2. When you are ready to get off the phone, be in the middle of saying something and then just hang up (because who hangs up on themselves?).

3. Don't answer your phone when they call back because it's "dead".

I have my wife start cooking. The smoke alarm goes off in less than 5 minutes.
