   If you say buh-bye to someone after a normal conversation you sound like an asshole, but me and everybody I know says it at the end of a phone call. Especially business calls.

   It's perfectly acceptable to say it on skype too. Though I tend to say "seeya" or "ta-raa" on skype

   You're right. It shouldn't be acceptable to say it at all unless you're a 35+ mom getting off the phone with one of her girlfriends.

    Uh everybody I know says goodbye if we are parting ways in person. This is strange.
    
    Are you just spending time with people and leaving and not saying anything?

    I'd wait around for a response but I fear I must be "up north" and don't know what time it is.

    I do thata lot more than I should now that I think about it.
    
    If I say "Bye Rosco, see you later!", that's perfectly acceptable.
    
    But If I say "Have a good day Jess, buh-bye!" Well now I just sound like a dick.
    
    I guess it depends on how you say it though. I'm not a wonderful orator and a lot of stuff I say comes out in a way I don't intend it to.

    With bated breath.
    
    Where? Lake Minnetoka? Minnesota is too expensive for what it is, same with Wisconsin. Dakota's are a bargain, except pipeline country, and Iowa and Nebraska are kind of a wash for value/stuff. I don't know much about Kansas. Missouri is probably a good bargain. Not a fan of Illinois.

    Hes literally referring to "BUH BYE". And please don't tell me you say BUH BYE on the phone or in real life WQ.
