Ending letters / Phone conversations

For some reason, I hate to say "kisses", "hugs" or anything similar when I'm on the phone and/or writing a letter. Often, I wouldn't do any of those things if I were actually talking to the person, so I see no point in saying that when I'm not in front of them. So, whenever I have someone say "kisses" or "hugs" on the phone, I just say, "Yeah, you too", out of politeness.
Anyone else annoyed by these little conventions? |

I just don't think a heterosexual male should say hugs or kisses.  |

| I often say "hello" instead of goodbye when hanging up the phone, it confuses the out of most people. |

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (depends on how much I like u)
........ other than that - i don't say anything like "hugs", "kisses" and no one ever tells me that. |

Definitely. Near the end of the conversation, I always scream "wait, don't hang up!" And then I hang up on their ass.
Because the thought of them listening to the dial tone makes me laugh. |

Maybe it's a Brazilian thing? :conf:
Women <-> Women: Kisses
Men <-> Women: Kisses
Men <-> Men: Hugs
But, that's how we're supposed to greet one another in actual face-to-face conversations so... |

You may be right. In English, it probably just sounds a little peculiar. :p
In Spanish, men can say 'un abrazo' to each other and it doesn't seem like we're gayer than Jake Benson's housekeeeper. |

Thanks :stongue:
Seriously, though, it's one of the few little things that actually annoy the hell out of me. That, and grown ups watching Japanese cartoons intended for kids.
And deep house.
edit: Oh, and lawyers. |
