Who has made you so angry on the telephone that you abruptly hung up on them and why?

I guess for me.....once my husband made me furious when 'over the phone' he told me about a quick fling he had. Out of the blue. I guess he thought it would be easier over them phone. It's wasn't. This was the beginning of the end...that phone call, last year.

Simply calling me on the phone is enough to hang up on someone if it is not a delivery or someone that is expected or asked to call me, and these two latter occasions are rare. Unfortunately the phone is hooked up to the apartment building's tenant doorbell system, so if a delivery is expected from UPS or the like, I have to pick up the phone then. Friends or my sister know that I prefer email. I especially detest political messages.

I don't think I've ever done this. I don't get angry very often and I can't recall ever getting angry with someone on the phone. I've hung up on people, but I don't quite do it abruptly. I'll talk over them and say "I'm hanging up now..." and then hang up.

At my last job, there was a client, one of three that my boss categorised as "a real piece of work". She was the worst of the three. Not that I didn't like her. She's very intelligent and interesting. However, she was absurdly demanding. Eventually it got to the point where my boss wouldn't take her calls. I wasn't expected to either, but sometimes I would. She thought nothing of keeping me on the phone for 45 minutes over an issue that could have taken less than 5. She would call about once a week. I've done the "I'm hanging up now..." thing with her. My boss would sometimes just walk past my desk and hang up the phone for me!

She had a lot of mental health issues. Agoraphobia for one. She was also a bit of a dimestore debutant; thought she was too good to be living in the downtown eastside.

I had a call telling me my bank account had been compromised and they wanted me to verify information.

I told him that he called ME and that if he was representing my bank, he could tell me the information HE had and I could choose to verify what he had... or not.

He started explaining he needed to know it was really "me" he was talking to and I told to give me his telephone number and I would call him back. When he started stumbling with some other request, I told him I was calling my bank and giving them the number that came up on my caller ID and promptly hung up.

I did report him to my bank.

I hang up on telemarketers.

Many many people. A #1 would be Kiim. She was a whore and I told her so. Then I told her I hoped she burned in hell and slammed down the phone. I immediately tried to call back to take it all back and basically beg forgiveness like the pathetic twit I was. The line was busy so I knew she was on the phone with her best friend who just happened to hate me- feeling was mutual. So I harassed her all evening because she had call waiting. I kept telling her she had to get off the phone with Kiim so I could talk to her. In all honesty....Kiim was a whore and I was too good for her but she was my first female sexual experience so the feelings involved were pretty intense, that and I was like 15. It really sucked.

My mom's mom (who I lovingly refer to as The dog). A couple boyfriends. My dad. I think that's about it.

my mother a couple of times when she wouldn't listen to what I was saying. Pretty immature, I know.

My SO at the time.

We broke up.

it was a long time ago.

I've never hung up on anyone. When it comes to telemarketers, I can't hang up on them either without saying thank you...and goodbye.

I think I've only ever hung up on telemarketers, but I wasn't really angry, just dealing with the situation the best way I knew how.

Bill collections they make me so mad and angry" because I just cannot afford to pay some of these bills, and I have no money and I slam the phone down on them, I mean what can I do, dig up buried treasure

My SO.

I hung up on a customer at the chemist that I worked at during my work experience placement. I wasn't angry at him, but he was really rude. He started shouting at me on my first day because I couldn't spell some medicine that he wanted to order.

I have hung up on more than one person, but usually if I hang up on someone it is my boyfriend. Some of the things that come out of his mouth sometimes are so sexist and pigheaded that I have to hang up to stop myself from breaking up with him right then.

I'm pretty sure I hung up on an SO at least once.

Hung up on my sister in law after arguing big time with her when I found out she was moving my favourite little nephew all the way to Alberta. Moving for no reason except she's mentally ill and her husband has no spine. She's moved the poor little guy so many times he's been in eight schools and he's only nine years old.

YAY you're back!!! I told everyone I knew you'd be back!!!

My ex-fiancee, she would call, we argue, i hang up angry, she calls back and i answer it on the first ring, we argue, she hangs up, i call back, she answers it before it rings, a love hate relationship one day it is and 10 minutes it is over and over again

> YAY you're back!!! I told everyone I knew
> you'd be back!!!

You mean I was the object of a discussion?

When I am on the phone with a SO and we get into an argument and if they happen to hang up on me I will call them back and scream, "DON'T HANG UP ON ME!", and then hang up on them. It makes me feel better to get the last word.

my wife. That is her regular trick - get me pissed off then hang up on me.

> You mean I was the object of a discussion?

There was a forum string (I believe) and members were lamenting about people that haven't been around in a while. I said some of us have a pattern of going away and coming back after a while and I used you as an example. Irene also tends to disappear for lengths of time and then come back. There's more... I just can't think of them... but I'm glad you're back I always enjoy your posts.

Telemarketers.
Someone hung up on me for no good reason once, so I called him back just to hang up on him.

I can`t remember the last time I just hung up on someone being mad or angry.

I hung up on AOL when someone hacked my account and used my internet access on dial up. One dollar a minute. The Woman was rude and just not helpful at all. Screw AOL.

My Sons Mother....... if anyone could do it, it was that BEEEAAAAAAATTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ..............not that I am not over it

I don't have issues with telling someone that I need to take a break from a conversation to calm down and that i will call them back.. so I have never hung up on anyone abruptly

People shouting AT me about other people as if it's my fault. All the time. Makes me want to spam them.

men.....period

A telemarketer who called my cell phone and used my minutes.

I've hung on my mum before - and my boyfriend. Both times when I thought they were beyond talking to.

A telemarketer after I'd previously informed them that I was on the do not call list & to never call back again. They got reported.
