Suzie: I know you're trying to be polite at the same time as you're trying to get off the phone. At some point, you just have to say, "Look, I really have to go," and hang up. Maybe then next time, she will take you seriously. MC: "One more thing" means, I'm not done with you yet. The key is to find a way to show the caller that you are most definitely done. Hanging up when you say you will, conveys this message accurately. Jen:
That’s for sure!

I have a friend who says, "okay, just one more thing..." Grrrrrr! I can’t stand it when people won’t get off the phone and keep talking. I have a friend who says, “okay, just one more thing…” Grrrrrr!

I called my friend this morning.<br /> I told her I only had 10 minutes to talk, and that I was calling just to see how she's doing. She told me not only about her own<br /> health, her children's health and then her grandchildren's health. I mentioned again that I had to go. Then she started telling me about her latest trip in great detail. Finally after 20 minutes, I managed to say goodbye and hung up! Phew! I can certainly relate to this.
