When I'm really mad, I'd still say bye and then put the phone down. I just don't hang up the phone without saying goodbye. Other people when their mad they just hang up or they even slam the phone, ouch... People can't really control their emotion specially when their on the phone. They scream, cry, shout and all those stuff and then slams the phone and after a few hours they will call you and say sorry. Come on, I think telephone etiquette is also an important part of any relationship.

There have been a few times that I've hung up the phone on people when they made me really upset. However, I must admit that the majority of the time, I scream and throw a fit when I'm upset. I think that the reason that I'm like this is because it is the way that my mother has always been so I learned the behavior from her. I remember the worst fight she ever had on the phone also happened to be the last time that she ever talked to one of her brothers.

I only hang up the phone in a situation that only hurts me
. I HATE those machines that ask for things or sell people or ideas over the phone. It´s the kind of call about "Hi, I am ... and I want to ask you to..." It enrages me not to have a real person so that I can tell them that my phone is personal. So I slam the phone while saying foul words to the air.

For me not because I'm in mad I wait for the time when I'm calm.

No. I don't hang up the phone even when I got mad because I also don't like to experience that. I just simply say "Okay, okay let's stop talking" to cut the conversation. I think those who hang up or scream over the phone have no manners and they never think about the feelings of the person on the other line.

When people annoy me I often cry out of frustration, and I hate it when people see or hear me cry so I will always put the phone down if I happen to be talking to them at the time.
I always apologise after it though, I just can't bear for people to think that I am weak when I cry, especially when it is my boyfriend who makes me cry, so I will always put the phone down if I can feel that I am going to start with the tears.

Yes, I do that. But I rarely do it because I rarely get mad at someone. I know how it would feel if you had people just push your buttons all the time and then you have to let all the rage and anger out at someone. So then I would just slam the phone down on the receiver. I don't know if that person would hear it or not but then we would later reconcile and forgive each other about it.

Well I have never done that because I think that would be to rude for me to do that, but their is times when I hang up, but that's because it's those telemarketers and I just don't have time because I am always in a rush so I just have to get out quickly out of the house.

It depends on whom you are talking, when you and your friend have a clash and your friend is not able to understand you or if your conversation leads to an argument and later a fight, what should we do usually? sometimes we can't just be calm even when someone speaks arrogantly or is being rude to us, whether it is over the phone or face to face. We can't be soft with tough people. If i really lose my temper, I will obviously hang the phone, ofcourse though i never slam my mobile.

Hello!
I am not that person! If I am mad...I will tell to the person that I am not in good condition so that I will not hurt them...then I will close the conversation.
Being considerate every time should be practiced. WE must not include someone in our problem because this is not good at all!

I'm so pissed off when somebody han up the phone on me, that I try not to do this to others. I try to do like you, Santosmarichris, I say or shout goodbye. But have the impression that people become more and more angry and they don't bother to be polite.

nope, i dont do that. if a situation comes that im mad while having a conversation in the phone i wont hang up or put an end with the conversation. its more appropriate to talk with person until your done or confront that person. that's my opinion, well it really depends on the person. good day.

I usually hang up the phone when i'm mad too. But my unique characteristic, is that i hang it up only when i'm mad and talking to my angry mom. You see, when my mom gets angry at me, she usually yells at me and makes me feel bad, so instead of arguing with her, i just hang up the phone. Later on i will just tell her i'm sorry and i won't talk to her while she's angry.

Hi. santosmarichris. Yes. I have hanged up the phone when I was very mad. It is only because I am so mad at the person that I was on the phone with. They have pissed me off so badly. When I am really angry. I am just angry. I can't control myself being nice. I will not say bye at all, I will just hang up on the person. I don't mean to be this way, but I just am.

hi there.. i myself do hang up phones especially when im in my peak of anger, because i think its the best thing i must do rather than talking to that person that might hurt him or her more. i rather hang up. on the other hand a couple of hours later when im already calm i called them and ask for a sorry, first for hanging up, second, to fix the argument..
