It is redundant from an information standpoint as you communicated your desire to hang up. Tel: Generally speaking, your phone conversation can have tricky social protocols that vary from place to place. Are mutual goodbyes done politely? (Think of it as an informal, though widespread, voice procedure) Usually
it manifests something like the following: A:
I’ll talk to you later.)
What are some good reasons a.a. B.A. Alright, bye.
A: Bye
Mutual Hangup.
In some locales, its common to make up an excuse for why you need to end the conversation, even if both parties are clear that you’ve run out of things to say. Presumably this. is due to wanting to be especially polite and indicate that you find the person so delightful that you’d love to just keep chatting away…. if it wasn’t for that darn cat that needed to be let out or dishes that needed to be washed, etc.
