bye loop

What happens when, on the phone or instant messenger, someone needs to go (or fakes needing to go to end the conversation) and says "bye" (or a variant, or an IM shortening of it like 'cya').
The other participent says "bye"--or something-- The original person says "bye"/whatever again, and the other one responds. This can go on for minutes or longer until someone--or their parent--puts their foot down.

bye loop

When one has good intentions of ending a conversation, but keeps thinking of more things to say. Can be one or more people "looping". Often happens in doorways or other portals.

Maria and I had such a bye loop going that I ended up spending the night.
