When you hang up on someone is that disrespectful?

Answer 1

Depends on why you did it. If you did it just to be mean then yes its disrespectful. I had a situation like this, basicly if its a person who talks alot and wont stop talking for hours then you can do that. I did that and she was fine with it, she was like, "You hung up on me." I answered back. "You wouldn't stop talking. I had to go." And we are still friends today. If its your friends you hang up on then you should appoligize. But if its a grownup you NEVER hang up. It has somewhat little to do with being disrespectful as just being a bad thing that could get you in huge trouble. And possibly its disrespectful to them.

When two people are in a relationship, whether the one talks to much or not, there should be respect for the other to listen. My "ex" did it to me as well but his reason behind it was to control the conversation. Little did I know he was trying to manipulate the outcome so that I would get mad and send him nasty texts, why? because he is trying to get custody of our son.

Now if you talking about telemarketers that's a whole different ballgame...... Even if you tell them, Sorry I don't' have the time for this then hang up, you were still being respectful too.
