Well, I often try to have the last word only because I feel like I have to respond to everything the other person says. It gets very confusing when I’m on the phone with a friend who also feels the need to respond to everything said so we end of having very long goodbyes that usually go something like this:
Me: All right, see you then.
Friend: Yeah, I can’t wait.
Me: Me neither.
Friend: Yeah, it’s gonna be great.
Me: Yeah, it is.
Friend: Okay, I really need to go now.
Me: Yeah, me too.
Friend: Okay, goodbye!
Me: Goodbye, see you then!
Friend: You too, goodbye!
so on and so forth.
It’s not that either of us needs to be right or prove a point, it’s just that we each talk too damn much and feel rude hanging up first.
