What is Bye Loop?
1.
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.

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.
