It may seem like a minor timing issue, but it’s very annoying to me. You shouldn’t talk unless the receiver is right at your ear. If you want the audience to think you’re in a hurry, just bow your head down closer to the phone as you say goodbye.

When a director allows the actor to have a two second phone conversation, they’ve made the mistake in directing that portion of the scene.
