I work with a couple people that don't end with any sort of "postscript" language to the call at all... they just hang up. Nice folks, both of them, but the only way you know the call was finished is that they hang up. You might have been pausing between sentences, and "click" - they were done.
Really really annoying.
Almost equally bemusing (but less annoying) is the lady who answers the phone "Hey, it's Lisa". Not "hello, this is Lisa", its always "Hey, it's Lisa".
Bemusing... but she's got a cute voice, so whatever.

Often it's "Nice talking to you," sometimes it's "goodbye."
If it's one of my kids, it's usually "I love you."
Not many others get that.

This thread is useless without a .wav file.

I prefer kthxbai! (that is when I just don't slam the phone down out of anger or disgust which is most of the time I'm actually involved in a VOICE transmission)...

'Bye
'Bye-Bye
The deviations are usually:
I'm on my way
Later
Talk to you later
'Night
'Goodnight

Around here I've noticed people saying "mmm-bye." I recently caught myself doing that as well.
Then there is my mother-in-law, a classic example of Paul F.'s friends: -- talk-talk-talk--click...
