TFW you notice that almost nobody on TV says "goodbye" at the end of a phone call

@noelle They also don't have to wait much before the other person picks up the phone.

@jkb Yep, if there's more than one ring they're getting voice mail/an answering machine.

@jkb /unless/ the scene cuts to the person answering the phone.

@noelle Also very amusing:
- taxi fares paid in cash with a bill, no change back
- have you seen someone locking a car?
- same question for front doors

@noelle also nobody ever finishes a meal

They always leave when they're half way through it

@noelle I used to know a couple who never said "goodbye" to each other, they ended their conversations with "I love you" because if anything tragic happened to either one of them they didn't want "goodbye" to be the last word they said. I'm onboard with that.

@ThreeLetterMax I need to get around to watching that at some point.

@noelle air ducts are also unusually large and clean as well

@bunnyhero @noelle And they don't seem to notice all those people walking around with cameras, either.

@Crash @noelle LOL! or that boom mic that's over them, which you can see sometimes

@noelle all part of TVland magic, like waking up with perfect eyeliner

@noelle i know right? how annoyed would you be if your friends just HUNG UP ALL THE TIME, with no indication the conversation was done

you'd be all "Hello? He... hello? did the phone disconnect?" all the heckin' time!
