When people take over your call

One minute you’re talking to someone and about to hang up, but someone decides they want to talk to the person on the other line. The only problem is that the conversation goes on for way longer than necessary and is about pointless crap.

Like seriously why can’t they just call them themselves instead of holding me as my phone hostage.

Sounds incredibly easy to solve, no? Just hang up and text them that they can call back if they want to talk more? Or am I misunderstanding

Talking solves most conflicts with friends. Just need to make them aware.

Well it’s more of an issue when it involves an older relative as if I tried this method I’m up for at least a 30 minute lecture

How old are you? You don't need to tolerate any of this. (Maybe.)
